On a gloriously sunny afternoon 42 people took on the challenge of the Cross Country Competition in support of my charity (Rufus Wood – a community woodland being created as part of the 950 celebrations).

Today (September 14) is Thank A Greenkeeper Day and we salute the Richmond GC Team for all their efforts in sun, rain, hail and snow throughout the year.

To all of you who have supported the Andrew Jackson Day I am delighted to inform you that Callum Tarren from Darlington, who was sponsored by the AJ Trust Fund, has secured his USPGA tour card.
