Monty and his three victorious Ryder Cup Vice Captains host Golf LIVE 2011
On the 20th - 22nd May we witnessed some of the greats of the golfing world grace The London Club in Kent for Golf Live 2011. We were blessed with fantastic weather and over the three days thousands of eager golfers flocked through the gates in search of tips from the pro’s, some great golf exhibitions and maybe even a golf holiday.
The event lived up to all the hype surrounding it. Monty’s Masterclass proved as popular as ever with the 2010 Ryder Cup winning captain giving a flawless performance. Golfers were treated to some inspiring talks from Ian Woosnam, humour from Thomas Levet and one of the highlights was provided by Joe Miller, the world long drive champion. Any man that can hit a golf ball over 200 yards with a putter is something to witness!
The Golfbreaks.com and Teeofftimes.co.uk stands were buzzing with excitement all weekend, helped by the free Asahi and Spitfire beer from the Shepherd Neame brewery and wonderful wine from Chateau Des Vigiers in the South of France.
Our daily competition prize also went down a storm with a closely fought putt off on the 18th green each day hosted by Iain Carter and Shane O’Donoghue. The competitors' nerves in front of the crowds showed but they were lucky enough to have help from Nick Dougherty on the Friday and Thomas Levet on the Sunday showing them the best line. There could only be one winner each day though and the lucky golfers were:
- Cindy Bedford from Orpington, Kent who won a break for 3 nights’ B&B and 3 rounds of golf for 4 people to the 5* La Cala Resort & Spa, Spain.
- Terry East from Chatham in Kent who won a break for 2 nights’ B&B and 2 rounds of golf for 4 people to the 5* Turnberry Resort, Scotland.
- Michael Clark from Essex who won a break for 2 nights’ B&B and 2 rounds of golf for 4 people to the 5* The K Club, Ireland.
The Golfbreaks.com and Teeofftimes.co.uk teams hope you had a great time at Golf LIVE. We have put together some photo highlights and hope that the pro’s have helped your game and you now feel inspired to practice what you've learned on a golfing holiday.
