Andy is Big Cheese
at Telford Pro-Am

Professional Andy Cheese walked away
with the £1,000 winner’s cheque at the
recent Budgen Motors Pro-Am at Telford
Hotel & Golf Resort.
Lichfield-based Cheese, who is attached
to the Robert Rock Golf Academy,
shot a three-under-par 69 to take the
professionals’ pot, while the team prize
went to the fourball of Ryan Wallace,
Dean Riley, Luke Bryan, and Charlie
Roberts, who amassed 92 Stableford
points and won an overnight stay for
four at the resort, including two rounds
of golf.
Among the competitors on the day
was former Southampton, Crystal
Palace, West Ham and Northern Ireland
footballer Iain Dowie. He played with
Telford professional Luke Towler who
finished tied fifth. Dowie played solid
golf and narrowly missed out on the
nearest-the-pin prize on the third hole.
Telford Hotel & Golf Resort’s director
of golf, Matt Robbins, said: “The pro-am
was a huge success, attracting more than
100 amateur golfers. Once again we
have to thank Budgen Motors’ managing
director, James Martin, for his company’s
support in putting up the prize money.
It’s relationships such as that between
Budgen Motors and Telford Hotel &
Golf Resort that help to keep this sort of
event alive.”

Telford Hotel’s wonderfully picturesque
course measures 6,741 yards along tree-
lined fairways, through open greens and
over strategic water hazards.
The course’s signature hole is the eighth,
a 382-yard, par-four which requires the
drive to be landed to perfection to miss
two fairway bunkers, before negotiating
a pond with a beautiful mature oak tree
… all placed to make the approach shot
that little bit more interesting.
