Golfers can take aim for the party they will be voting for ahead of the General Election on Thursday 8 June.

Matthew Orwin, golf manager at Tapton Golf Course, said:-

“The General Election is the most talked about topic on everyone’s lips at the moment so we thought this would be a great way to drum up some healthy competition.

“We wanted to give golfers something to aim at on the driving range and the political party boards give them a clearly visible goal.

“It’s really taken off, though it’s too close to call the overall winner!”

The driving range at Tapton Golf Course is open daily from 7am.
