Title

1921-The Cat & Fiddle affair

Description

In 1921 Macclesfield auctioneer Stanley Turner won a challenge that he could not play from his house on Buxton Road to the Cat and Fiddle pub in less than 170 shots. He completed the course in a remarkable 64 strokes. In 1926 Prestbury founder member and ex Captain J.S.White made an attempt to break the record, but took 83. This included 15 in a quarry! A further attempt, involving former County Champion Jack Abraham, was planned in 1939 but was scrapped upon the outbreak of war.
