Texas scramble tournament sees Bognor golfers take to the golf course dressed as Santa.

Published: 08 January 2009

Members of a local golf club who took part in a "cross-country" golf tournament could have found a golf sweater the ideal thing to keep them warm while teeing off.

Players from Bognor Golf Club ran their annual cross country golf games over the festive period, reports the Chichester Observer.

Fun-loving members of the club also dressed up in Santa costumes during the event.

More often seen items of golf apparel on the course include golf hats or argyle sweaters.

This event saw 22 teams from the club take part in a Texas scramble.

This unusual way of playing saw two or three holes joined together, making it harder for players to score points.
