Story

Every year, for the past five years, in the sleepy Sussex Downs a bunch of hungover bandits awake to play a much looked forward to end of season golf competition.  This is called the 'Last Of The Summer Wine' on the basis that it is the time to pack the clubs away in the UK and the winner receives a magnum of Rodger Craig's finest cellar dregs.  The first ever champion of this event was one Mr Alan Edwards, who tore up the course and taught it a lesson on that sunny autumn day.  

Five years on, we met the evening before the competition with one notable absentee.

That evening, inspired by the fantastic memorial dinner in Cannes, we sat, wearing the Welsh colours and got suitably bunkered in his memory.

The following day we met at the first tee knowing that the winner would have the challenge of raising money in Alan's memory for his chosen charity.  The task, offloading the biggest bottle of champagne I have seen in my life!!!  Well as you have probably gathered by now, I won and have the challenge of raising as much as I can for the charity
