Pro::Fantastic






It was an immense looking day – at least on paper, a round of golf at a fabulous golf course, playing for our favourite clubs (at least for Mr Arthur … ) free dinner and celebrities. Unfortunately the weather had other plans for our great day! But like true golfing enthusiasits we didn’t let it dampen our spirits. In howling gales we introduced ourselves to the watching sky sports cameras and started competing for Accies and Motherwell. It was a great day at the Pro:fantastic golf day with myself, Mr Arthur, Ross Corcoran and Cameron Graham. We played some great golf and had some fantastic holes from disasterous 5 putts at par three to some magical chips. Highlight of the day has to be the skills challenge on a short par 3. The challenge was to chip the ball as close as possible to the hole from the back of the green from the rough. A quick look at the previous closest effort we quickly realised there was only one way to win it. Up step Ian Arthur, as Mr Chippy as he will forever be known, to sink the ball straight into the cup to send us delirious and the Sky Sports cameraman to detach his static camera for a close up of us all high fiving on the green. We were also interviewed by Sky Sports own Matt Lorenzo as well as the legendary Frank McAvennie (who regrettably didn’t use his famous catchphrase) It was truly a great day and keep an eye out for us on Sky Sports in the coming weeks. Thanks to Ross Corcoran for the opportunity to play
