The second British Bread Golf Open saw nearly 100 people hit dough balls into the River Thames on Sunday.

The day involved whacking three specially-made bread balls from the back of Woody’s bar into a giant floating golf hole.

Councillor Barry O’Mahony, decked out in full golfing attire, kicked off the day in confident mood but was unable to produce the kind of form that saw him crowned inaugural bread golf champ last year.

Shortly after it was the turn of Surrey Comet reporter Tom Barnes whose pitch shot dipped slightly in the wind, narrowly missing the boat.

However, it was Ann Hutchinson, wife of organiser Robin, who stormed into an early lead with a terrific eight iron shot which bounced just off the boat inches from the hole.

Councillor Bob Steed and Woody’s manager Dom Clark were among the competitors who mounted the “fairway” in a bid to knock Mrs Hutchinson off the top of the leader board.

But it was latecomer Stuart Daniels who eventually pipped Mrs Hutchinson to the title with an impressive driving effort - earning him the coveted “green jacket”.

Mr Hutchinson, who could not attend the event, said his wife has been “robbed”.

He said: “My son is Suburban Ski champion so perhaps it is good she didn’t win as it would be tough to live in the house with two world champions.

“But it was a great day and we raised over £700 for Creative Youth.

“The best thing is how many calls I have had from people telling me how much they enjoyed the day and asking when the next event is happening.”

Golf clubs and dough balls were supplied for a £5 donation towards Creative Youth, who were behind the International Youth Arts Festival.

Artistic director for the charity, Aniela Zaba, said: "We support around 800 young people teaching them business skills and art skills so this kind of event is crucial to keep us going.

"It is also a fantastic chance for the people of Kingston to get together for a fun community event."
