SEARCH FOR MOST CLEAN SHAVEN GOLFER OF THE OPEN LAUNCHED
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that it has launched a search for the most clean shaven golfer of the British Open that tees-off at Carnoustie on Thursday.
The winner will be announced on Sunday
The BLF normally looks for the most hirsute competitor at sporting events such as cricket Tests or Football finals but says that despite some moderate progress golf remains, along with tennis, the most socially conservative sport and hence the most clean shaven.
Ernie Els has won the title at several recent Open championships but has been suspected of illicit shaving in bunkers between shots
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said There is a little bit more hirsuteness in golf but really the thing that stands out is how gleaming and clean shaven the golfers are. So once again we’re looking to find the most clean shaven of the lot which we hope is a bit of fun but makes a point as well.
