Another quick THANK YOU to everyone who helped out during my “Pro’s Day Event” whether that was beforehand, during or afterwards. Without that support and effort I couldn’t have facilitated such a great day and one which seemed to go down so do well with everyone who attended.
Special mentions need to go out to:
Brian Pedder for running my Champagne Putting Challenge throughout the day.
Teona & Carole who shared duties with my eldest daughter Emily and her other half “Matt” in the halfway hut giving out all the complimentary food and refreshments. Our two starters Helen and Dave, good job.
Mark in the office, who worked out all the scores, organised and put up (and down) the marquee and more importantly was there to help and support us all day. Jill and Abi who between them cooked over 100 bacon and sausage baps, served a field of approx 100 golfers today and looked after everyone inside the clubhouse. The green staff for presenting a great test of golf out on the course.
Then there’s my two rocks, whom make everything possible for me, Sam who picks up pretty much every single duty when I’m busy doing other things, never complains when I leave her all on her own as I take care of the more glamorous roles of being the Club Pro. And my son James, who even though he no longer works with us, always ends up sorting stuff out, like getting the buggy back in after it suddenly decided to literally go bang!
These two people are the reason why I’m still a golf Professional and it’s days like these I appreciate them more and more. It’s great to be surrounded by a fabulous team and to be able to facilitate days like today, THANK YOU everyone!
