A whole host of celebrities will be appearing at Brean Leisure Park’s annual Celebrity Pro-Am Golf Tournament on Tuesday (May 13th).
Top sporting names including jockey Tony McCoy (pictured), Sam Thomas, Dominic Elsworth, Dave Crosse, Jimmy McCarthy, Will Kennedy, Carl Llewellyn, Luke Harvey and Joe Tizzard are scheduled to take part in the competition.
The tournament, which is being held in aid of The Injured Jockeys Fund, St Margaret’s Hospice and The Alzheimer’s Society, is an annual event that has previously included top national hunt jockeys and trainers, together with other sporting personalities from the world of golf, football and cricket.
“The event typically attracts between 25 and 35 teams, which consist of three amateur players plus one designated celebrity. The winning team receives golf equipment supplied by Brean Golf Club’s resident PGA professional David Haines who will be assisting with the event. The winners also take with them the memorial trophy dedicated to well known local sports fan Tom Childs who sadly passed away in 1998,” said spokesman Nick Burrett.
There are still a few places left for anyone wishing to take part in the event. The team fee is £150 which includes all pre-play refreshments and a main meal after the tournament. Tee-off times are from 10.15am with presentations at 7pm in The Tavern function suite at Brean Leisure Park. Further information can be obtained from either Nick Burrett on 01278 752121 or David Haines at the Golf Pro Shop on 01278 752111.
