Seven-year-old Henry Briggs sent in a colourful artistic impression of his golfing exploits at the course to the iconic children’s BBC television programme and was thrilled to receive a letter from the presenters commending his work along with the badge.
Henry’s parents own a holiday home at nearby Riverside Caravan Park and Henry likes to play at the golf course at every opportunity.
