3. Tri-folding Irons

Meanwhile Windlesham Golf Club published a flyer stating that it has launched tri-folding irons so that bikers can ride to the venue with their clubs on them.

Inspired by ‘The Hairy Bikers’, the opportunity endorses the club’s inclusive approach towards disadvantaged members of the public, stated the leaflet.

The folding irons deliver the same yardage as conventional irons, it added, and will also be marketed to drivers of sports’ cars, meaning that the club will be opening new parking bays this summer, but warned that ‘lesser cars will be clamped’.
