Golf marathon completed ahead of schedule

Two three-man teams were successful in their bid to play a round at each of the Isle of Man's golf courses.

Captains Sam Skelton and Mike Henthorne were joined by Geoff Gelling, Steve McCafferty, Andrew Gerrard and David Quayle, as they boosted funds for Cruse Bereavement Care in the Island.

The marathon effort began at Glen Truan in Bride at first light on Monday, and the final round was completed about an hour and a half ahead of schedule at 8.30pm.
