THE Bucks Free Press is offering you a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take on one of the world's greatest sportsmen out on the golf course.

We need three keen golfers to represent the Bucks Free Press at the star-studded Redgrave and Pinsent Celebrity Golf Classic at HarleyFord Golf Club in Marlow on Thursday, June 2 where they will take on Olympic oarsmen Steve Redgrave and Matthew Pinsent.

The duo have proved unbeatable on the water and they are pretty hot on the golf course as well.

Both have won the Redgrave and Pinsent Celebrity Golf Classic before and both are keen to captain winning teams again this year on June 2 when the ninth annual Redgrave and Pinsent Golf Classic tees off again in aid of the SPARKS (Sport Aiding Medical research for Kids) charity.

But you could be there trying to stop them.

Our team of three Free Press readers will team up with a celebrity captain for 18 holes of golf in glorious countryside and elite company.

Celebrities who have attended in the past include Peter Shilton, John Conteh, Ruud Gullitt, Peter Ebdon, Zinzan brooke and Wasps coach Warren Gatland.

This year's line-up is equally impressive with Dennis Waterman, Nicholas Parsons, Kevin Whateley, Mark Illot, Chris Broad and Anna Walker all signing up alongside Stuart Storey, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Duncan Preston.

Last year's Free Press competition winners Richard Patterson and Peter Kirkman spent a day with actor Robert Powell as they finished on 80 points, 13 points behind winners Harleyford Juniors, in the 18-hole stableford competition, as the Free Press finished in the middle of the field.

Last year's event was won was TV presenter and programme writer Johnny Ball, who was the winning captain, leading home his team of Joe Land, David Harding and Jonathon Kingsbury.

John Conteh's team finished second.

To be eligible for this fantastic competition, which is worth a staggering £795, you must already have a golf handicap and be a member of a golf club and you must be available to play on Thursday, June 2.

As well as the golf, the prize includes a bacon roll breakfast, a champagne evening reception and a three course dinner with wines and a comedian.

For the first time this year people can attend just the evening dinner at a price of £50 per head. Anyone interested should email: susan.humphreys@anderselite.com

All you have to do to win is tell us in which year Sir Steve Redgrave won his record-breaking fifth Olympic gold before the closing date of 5pm on Tuesday, May 31.
