Ever Bumped Into Someone 'Famous' Whilst Playing Golf??

[HomerJSimpson]

Dan Maskell (BBC tennis commentator), James Bolam, James Hunt were members at Wimbledon Common, so saw/played with them regularly. Have caddied for Godfrey Evans (England wicketkeeper in the 60's), Ronnie Corbett, Bernard Cribbins. Saw Faldo and Lyle randomly pitch up at Royal Wimbledon and go out and play followed by me, the caddies and three or four others. Saw John Parrott at Blue Mountain Driving Range last summer, having dashed straight out after covering the Royal meeting. Brett Rumford (European tour pro) pops up to the club for some practice every now and then.

Bumped (literally) into Kriss Akabusi at the Belfry - he had just "been", I was just "going"

Stood next to Freddie Jacobsen at the RC in Wales, at the 3rd green in the pouring rain

I once played in a charity tri-am thingy with Ian St. John.

Forgot about that - that was the Powerplay thing wasn't it?

Right venue, wrong time. The England footy squad stay there before internationals, ditto sarries rugby, and various champions league teams (certainly seen juve and inter before). Seen Beckham in the car park, but not on the course.

Rickg was fairly keen on Alisha Dixon when we were there for Paul's birthday. But again, that was in the club house, not on the course.

I'm sure Fabio was around after the PowerPlay thing too - only been to the Grove once and definitely walked past him on my way back to the car..

Ron Atkinson at Lickey Hills in Rubery, Birmingham.

Ditto

Quite possible, as they are often there. But when I saw him, it must have been around the 13th, ( so 9 hole pp ruled out), and was playing with a mate and his son, who got an autograph on his score card. (also got beckham's in the car park).

Jason McAteer and John Aldridge are both members at our club.

I met Kenny Dalglish at hillside last year and I've got a picture to prove it!

Minor celebs for me - Peter Crouch, Tony Cottee, Heidar Helguson, Doug McClelland (!) at Silvermere range.

My old pro also teach crouchy so I bump into him a few times but he was a local lad and everyone seemed to know him

 

[Fabregas9200]

Shane Lowry knows me by names. Ive hit his clubs before too. Dead sound couldnt meet a nicer guy.

 

[MizunoGreyhound]

Saw Steve Ogrizovic at Coventry (Finham) and Andy Gray at Moor Hall.

Met Harry Redknapp in the locker room at St George's Hill - he was doing a charity match apparently. He was a really good bloke - plenty of time for everyone and really genuine.

We saw Harry at Remedy Oak. Gave him a wide berth, as he had just been sacked by Spurs, and seemed more twitchy than ever.

He's played at my place a few times apparently, but I've never seen him, which is just as well...:rant:

That picture is a bit dark - which one is you?

I met him on the next hole - Alan Hansen sent his drive about 200 yards left, gave up his ball, conceded the hole to kenny.

Our Pro is a Pompey season ticket holder, and I think he would like to get his hands on Harry. I have seen Le Tiss playing at Stoneham.

Callum Giles the hockey player, think he holds the record number of caps for GB, is a member of our Club. Played with him a few times, and a really nice bloke.

Hilarious I have to say, and quite right too.

Mattys a member at Stoneham, very good player plays off about 4 I think. Richard Bland is his best mate.
Us and that lot down the road don't have a lot in common, except for a mutual Redknapp hatred!

It seems like the car spoiler is taking the lead on this one! :rofl:

As many of you may know, my club Gainsborough GC, is owned by Ping and we often get celebs playing the course when they come for a club fitting. Best one has to be about 3 or 4 years ago when Kylie flew in. She landed at the helipad at the far end of the course and was being chauffered down the access road which runs right by the 16th green. My group were on the green and my mate played a chip that just lipped out which brought a round of applause from Kylie and her entourage, believe me we hear this story at least once or twice a week. Met her in the clubhouse afterwards and she was delightful (not just in that way) posing for photos and signing autographs. She had a fitting, along with her boyfriend, and they ordered one set each for each of her houses around the world, how the other half live eh.
