Tom took on the charity challenge on Wednesday 28th July, in aid of the Captain's charity Alzheimer Research.
Starting at 5.05am, 21 year old Tom had completed two rounds before breakfast (8.30) and knew he was off to a good start. He finished all 7 rounds at 8.45pm, with a crowd of people following him on his last trip around the course. He finished a fantastic one over par, completing seven rounds in just 477 shots. He shot an impressive 25 birdies.
Tom said: "The weather was perfect and I couldn't believe how quickly I managed to get the first 2 rounds completed. My aim was just to get round, but I also managed to play some decent golf and finished one over. I want to thank everyone who sponsored me, supported me on the day and the golfers who let me through. It was worth it, but my legs are really feeling it!"
The challenge is part of a big week for Tom, who won the Club Championship on Sunday, played in the English Amateur on Monday and Tuesday and will make his debut in the Gloucestershire 1st Team to face Somerset this Sunday.
