A quick update on the golf challenge.
We now have 7 rounds of golf sponsored by generous companies, there are still another 9 to sponsor if any companies are interested in supporting the event and raising funds for MIND.
There is also the competition running alongside where you can guess the total number of strokes played to win some great prizes.
We have been on the local radio station, BBC Radio Solent recently promoting the event and will be in the local press soon as well.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for details on any of the above, this is not going be an easy challenge but it is for great cause that affects a lot of people.
To raise more funds for MIND during the upcoming 24 hour golf challenge we have decided to have a competition to run alongside the golfing. As most of you know we are playing Texas Scramble for 24hours on 21st June and for a small donation can you guess how many total strokes we will take whilst completing the 16 rounds? There will be 3-4 of us playing and its a total of 144 holes which is a PAR of 544 for one person playing. To guess is £2 a go or 3 goes for £5, just donate online at the link on the picture below and email us with you guess at info@themusketeers.co.uk.
We have some great prizes for the closest ones, there is a half hour golf lesson kindly donated by Matt Vineer, vouchers for 9 holes as well the adventure golf, all at Lymington Golf Centre as well as many other prizes.
All monies raised go to MIND, the mental health charity, which is a great charity to support, particularly in the current climate, any support will be greatly appreciated.
Its just over 4 weeks until the 24hr Golf Challenge when Lee will play Texas Scramble for 24 hours and hopes to complete 16no 9 hole rounds at Lymington Golf Centre.
There are a few sponsors on board who are sponsoring a round of golf each for a very generous donation to MIND, if you would like to get involved and join them please let us know through the contact page.
MIND do amazing work and during this pandemic, millions of us have experienced a mental health problem, or seen a loved one struggle. And we’ve seen that the support we all need just isn’t out there. For them, for us and for you – we must take this chance to step up the fight for mental health. That means fighting for change, for fairness, for respect and for life-changing support.

We have agreed the date for our next challenge, 21st/22nd June 2021, to play Texas Scramble golf for 24hours, non-stop. The plan is to play 16 rounds of 9 hole golf from 7pm on 21st June to 7pm on 22nd June this year.
To be held at Lymington Golf Centre who have kindly allowed us use of the course, all to raise funds for MIND mental health charity.
We are looking for sponsors, corporate and individual for the event, please contact us if you are interested. Also, if you would like to take part and do a round or two, or three or however many you want, let us know. Lee will be playing all 16 rounds and is looking for players to join him for support and to make it a 3 or 4 ball.
Finally, February is complete and so are we with our challenge to raise funds for NHS Charities. The team from Building IS set out to do 150miles each, Gary was running and cycling, Geoff was cycling and Lee was indoor rowing the same distance (240km) we all made a good start and realised that the targets for the cyclists were a bit too easy so we increased them to 240miles to relate to the 240km Lee was doing on his rowing machine.
Yesterday was our final day and we have all smashed our targets:-
Gary has cycled 280miles and Run 20, making a great total of 300miles!
Geoff has beaten his target and cycled 282miles in total!
Lee also beat my target by rowing 280km which is 174miles!
We want to thank you all for the support over the month, you can still donate to this great cause on the link below.
Now for a well deserved rest. www.justgiving.com/fundraising/miles4nhs

Building IS have been proud to be working with the NHS to create ward space at the start of the pandemic as well as creating vaccine centres over the last couple of months, with this in mind the three of us thought it was a good time to give something back to the NHS for all the work they have done during these unusual and stressful times.
