Ex-England cricketer and Hampshire County Cricket Club captain, Robin Smith organised the event as a fundraiser for the Alan Mullally benefit. His long standing membership at Hamptworth Golf Club meant it was the perfect place to hold a golfing event for his team.

Guests included the Hampshire players and officials as well as the benefit president Matt LeTissier, Alan Mullally’s neighbour and friend.

Teams of four played an 18 hole Stableford competition, with the best 2 from 4 scores counting. A shotgun start at 12.00 pm began the competition. Hamptworth Golf Club is located on the edge of the New Forest. The course winds through mature 150 year old woodland and is designed to test golfing skills and powers of concentration to the full.

The golf tournament was followed by dinner at the Chef’s carvery in Hamptworth’s new Clubhouse. An auction and raffle was held, with prize giving for the competition winners after dinner.

“Alan Mullally is greatly respected for his cricketing career. We are pleased that Hamptworth could be involved in his testimonial year, to raise money for his benefit”, says Phil Stevens, Manager of Hamptworth Golf Club.

“It was good to see so many international sportsmen. They all seemed to enjoy the challenge Hamptworth provides. Matt Le Tissier and Robin Smith regularly play here but it was great to see them alongside their friends Alan Mullally and Gladstone Small” adds Phil.
