He was joined on his big day our by the club's first assistant greenkeeper, Brian Punter, and spectators Nigel Lovatt, of Lely, and Mark Willerton of dealer K&M Mowers.

"It was a brilliant day," said Paul. "I don't think it could have been any better. We drove Ferraris, Porches, a Lotus and single-seaters. The hospitality was wonderful and Nigel and Mark were the perfect companions."
