CHARITY CHALLENGE - Rules man gets on his bike !!

Many golfers throughout Scotland, and indeed throughout the world, will know the name of David Rickman (pictured right) who is the Director Of Rules & Equipment Standards at the R & A.

David has recently set himself a massive challenge for 2011 as he has undertaken to cycle the length of Britain next June, a distance of over 1,000 miles.

David has undertaken this challenge in memory of his dad, who died in February 2010, and in aid of the British Lung Foundation.

The target for David is to raise the substantial sum of £10,000.

The undernoted link to David's fundraiser page explains more.

It would be great if golfers throughout the country and beyond would consider sponsoring David by any ammount, large or small, and help him towards, and hopefully beyond, his target ammount.

The Fundraiser webpage above allows you to donate online by credit or debit card - all donations are secure and sent electronically to the British Lung Foundation.

If, however, you would prefer to send a cheque, this could be sent direct to David at The R & A in St. Andrews.

We wish David all the best with his challenge and hope that many golfers will support David in his big adventure by sponsoring him for this worthwhile cause.
