Successful 2010 Golf Day: 19th Tee Report
- Some of our Golfing Former Players- who can you identify?
The third annual Former Players Golf Day that was held last Thursday (10th June 2010) at the Stoneleigh Deer Park Golf was a resounding success (CCFPA’s Bob Eales reports) with much positive feedback. Fully 22 FPs played and nearly a hundred people, both players and non players, in total attended the event and the dinner and presentations in the evening.
Among the former players that hit the links were Tommy Hutchison, Dennis Mortimer, Kevin Gallacher, Andy Blair, Steve Ogrizovic, Willie Carr, Graham Newton and last minute arrival Steve Staunton. Also present but unfortunately unable to play (due to an injury similar to Rio Ferdinand) was Micky Gynn.
Bob reports that :- ‘The weather was kind to us, although cold, overcast and very windy at times, the 19 teams got around the course in good time with some very good scores, with even our own Gemma McLean (CCFPA Committee) winning a nearest the pin award. The best former player award went to the shark Kevin Gallacher with 39 points, who was also in the winning team’.
