I disagree. If it was just naming the nicest people then it would be fine but people can get slagged off in these sort of threads for no valid reason. How somebody perceives another person's reaction is different or the celeb in question may just be having a really crap day. I actually thought this thread may be closed down.
 
Had lunch with Denis Compton. Absolute gent, and was a good golfer (6 Handicap) as well as playing cricket and football for England.

Roy Castle was an absolute legend. It probably helped that I was tooting his horn for him at the time.




Oi you dirty beggars! I was playing his instrument.





Oh for goodness sake. He played the trumpet and I had a go on his.



:o
 
I remember playing in a Pro Am with a reasonably well known [coach] golf pro.
Two of the team were really low handicap amateurs and I was then a useful 4.
We all played better than the Pro and he went into a right strop.
Almost funny if it was not so tragic.:lol:
 
I have only ever played with one 'celeb', it was on an old west ham boys day at Warley park, and our team got put with Chopper Harris or maybe his name was Bomber Harris, cant remember tbh(can you guess I don't follow football!), anyway he used to play for West Ham and was great company and was quite entertaining. Great day, still have the picture from the day.

I'll second that for Chelsea's Chopper, all round good guy.
Bought Shrivenham GC when he retired.

Not sure it was Shrivenham was it? I am a member there.
The net suggests he bought (and sold) Bremhill Golf Club in Wiltshire. Whilst one site says Bremhill Park Golf Club is now called Shrivenham, I am not convinced as the village of Bremhill is miles from Shrivenham, being close to Calne and Chippenham.
Anyone know anything about this?
 
It was the RMDC army course at Shrivenham, I think he changed the name to Bremhill Park.
Is it still going?

Just checked ......it is ....now called Shrivenham Park GC.
Don't think it would make my 'top 250 courses that I have played' list.:o

Still not convinced about this.....the RMDC Course is near Shrivenham but is a totally different course, and is still open. However as I said Bremhill is miles away and found references to Bremhill Golf Course on the net dating back to the 70's, so assume it must be closed now.

My error it was RMCS [Royal Military College of Science] Shrivenham.
They were the same course, just changed the name.
Not 100% certain if it was Bremhill I think it may have been something close to that.

There you go.

Sir Alex. My son and his girlfriend sat behind him at a film in Didsbury on 30th December and Sir Alex posed for a photo with them afterwards. Grrrrrr I can't hate him now....or can I?

Prince Andrew, Chris Martin (football not Coldplay), Arnold Palmer, Amanda Holden and the girls from All Saints were all really nice when I met them.

Have played cricket with and against Galton Blackiston several times and golf with Dean Ashton a few times and they've both been great and down to earth.

Never met a celeb that wasn't friendly and approachable, guess I've just been lucky in that respect.

Celebrity chef. Was quite often on the Saturday Kitchen tv programme with James Martin and owns a Michelin starred restaurant.

On that note, a few years ago the wife and I were in Padstow on holiday. We couldn't get a table at Rick Stein's, so went exploring and ended up in a little restaurant called Number 6. It hadn't been open that long. Food was absolutely brilliant, but the thing that really stuck out was head chef Paul Ainsworth. We were on a budget so didn't order starters. Paul himself came out to explain that the mains would be a little bit of a wait and was that ok. We assured him it was fine. He was super-friendly. A few minutes later the waiter arrived with a plate of canapes, courtesy of the chef. He then popped out just before the main was served to ask us our thoughts on things. Like I say, everything was super-tasty. He then popped out after our desserts to ask our opinion on everything else. Wasn't at all surprised to hear he'd won a Michelin star soon after. Top bloke.
