People will be swapping propping up the bar for swinging a golf club when they take part in a community golf competition.

Thirteen teams from pubs across Borehamwood and the surrounding area will be gathering at Arkley Golf Club in Rowley Green Lane this Friday.

The full day event is intended to reach out to the community and let them know about the facilities the club has on offer.

Organiser John Casalaspro said: “Every pub seems to have a golf team in it and we wanted to reach out to those people, let them know we’re here and get more people playing golf. We’ve approached a lot of pubs in the local area and people have been very keen.”

The event will start at 11.15am. There will be prizes for the winners.
