Celebrity fox Basil Brush has been spotted playing golf regularly at Redbourn Golf Club, Hertfordshire. Boom, boom!
Basil, who is now presenting BBC 1’s Saturday morning children’s show, Swap Shop, took breaks from his starring role in Cinderella at the St Alban’s Arena over Christmas to sneak in morning rounds and driving range practice sessions at Redbourn, near Harpenden.
Redbourn’s Sales & Marketing Manager Simon Folbigg said: “It has been a pleasure to have Basil playing here. Basil has become a weekday member and has made friends with many of the golfers here, and can regularly be seen playing 18 holes in the morning or practising on the driving range and short course.
“Golf used to be a sport for snooty foxes, but everyone is welcome at Redbourn…including Basil and his fans.”
Situated on the outskirts of Harpenden, Redbourn offers some of the most comprehensive golf facilities in the area including an 18-hole main course (The Ver), nine-hole par 3 course (The Kinsbourne), floodlit driving range, short game area, putting green, comfortable clubhouse and spike bar, plus large golf shop.
