New feather in golf cap

In fact his birds will cost him money. Charles will sponsor a ! classic pigeon race for . young birds (from seven to | eight months) for the next four years. The race — from Palmerston North to Christchurch (426 kilometres) — will be called the Bob Charles Cook Strait Classic. He has sponsored the event for $lOOO — $250 each year. This year's race will be flown on April 6.
