I once played with someone that had sold a train ticket to Peter Alliss the day before.

Alan Rough was in the group behind me and the big man at the mixed open at West Linton last year - we had a better score than him and his partner...his golf is as good as his goalie keeping 
and he still has a mullet...
believe he plays at Mar Hall - with all the other superstar footballers

I'm sure I saw Peter Alliss sitting in traffic in a Jag in Felixstowe,Suffolk a few years ago.I mentioned this to a friend who said it was possible as Alliss did talk evenings in the Pier Pavillion in Felixstowe.

Played with Andrew Sherborne in a pro-am about ten years ago (which he won), never heard anybody swear so much. Also saw Jethro in our pro shop once paying a green fee. He was doing a show in our town that night. We also have a couple of trophies that were presented by celebrities, Bruce Forsyth and Kenny Lynch. Kenny used to return each year to present the trophy to the winners but not been now for years.

I used to be a member of Woodbury Park in Devon in 90's when Mansell owned it. He would often sit down and have a chat with members on the balcony etc. A nicer guy than he gets credit for. They once did the Gotchas there which was a bit of fun with Noel Edmunds and lots of z listers... also most of the Chelsea football team did pre season training here. Vialli, Wise, Zola etc. I remember Dennis Wise getting a bollocking for wearing flip flops in the bar. The "White Shark" good mate of Mansells, used to fly in by chopper and they'd have a 2 ball. We played behind them once and struggled to keep up! Again a nice chap in the bar after.
I've been lucky enough to be on a Vodafone Celebrity Masters day at Wentworth with quite a few big names like Tarbuck, Lineker ( t**ser) Steve Redgrave etc. I played a round with Selena Hinchcliffe during the day and fancied my chances
as she was single at the time but got to pi*sed at the evening do!! 
I sat on the table that evening with Shilton (god how much has that chap blown on gambling!!) who was highly entertaining. Bobby Davro wasnt! 
Ive Had a good chat and a couple of swifties at the bar with big Sam at Wentworth. Quality. A couple of Jockeys at my place all good lads the ones I've met.

We have hosted The Wooden Spoon Society golf days in the past and I've been fortunate to have quite a long chat with Peter Allis who was guest speaker - he lives fairly nearby as well. Kenny Lynch and Damon Hill and other celebs were playing that day. I see we are hosting their 30th anniversary Founders Day at our place this year - the WSS being founded 30 yrs ago with a comp held at our place - so that should provide plenty of celeb spotting and 'chatting-to' opportunities - if I can be bothered. I'm generally not a celeb person.

I have played with and met a lot of famous people through golf - too many to list but the usual suspects that attend the Variety Club, Sparks, H4H events etc. Some were lovely and some much less so.
Out of them all, I have had the most fun with Tim Brooke Taylor and played my best golf under the captaincy of Martin O'Neill. One of the rounds of my life in fact at RCD with him managing me and keeping me focused - honest!
The most famous people I have ever met though were Stevie Wonder and Freddie Mercury. I met them both, not through golf but on the same night at my Aunt's 40th birthday party. Both were lovely but I was only 15 at the time and consequently, was much more interested in one of the other guests that evening - Linda Lusardi! I also had dinner that night with Cynthia Lennon and her son, Julian who were both charming company but I was a little too young to be able to appreciate the opportunity sadly.
