A GOLF club is set to mark its 20th anniversary next weekend with a special open day.

Mendip Spring Golf and Country Club in Congresbury is encouraging novices to pick up a club and benefit from professionals giving advice.

Bob Acland, who is helping to arrange the open day on May 27, said it was suitable for people of any age to come and have a look around.

He said the perceived cost of golf can put off many players so he called on potential golfers to have a go while they can for free.

And he said those who turn up on the day can get discounts in the future.

The open day, featuring a barbecue, will run from 11am-3.30pm.
