World Long Driving star renews Brockett Hall link
World long driving star Joe Miller is going back to his family roots after finalising a partnership with Brocket Hall Golf Club to become one of the historic Hertfordshire venue ’ s new ambassadors .
The new role will see the 2010 world champion play an integral part of Brocket Hall ’ s future plans , including entertaining corporate clients and wearing the club ’ s logo on his clothing at events around the world .
Miller ’ s new association with Brocket Hall has special meaning for the 28-year-old as he will renew his family ’ s link with the club and follow in the footsteps of his late father Danny .
Danny was one of the world-famous Brocket Babies and one of 8,338 children born at Brocket Hall when it was used as a makeshift hospital during and after the Second World War between 1939 and 1949 .
Miller said : “ I ’ m very proud to be teaming up with Brocket Hall because it was obviously the place where my dad was born .
“ I ’ m delighted to have been asked to be a part of the club ’ s future . It has some best facilities , on and off the course , anywhere in the country and I ’ m very excited to be working with them .”
Miller became the first European to win the World Long Driving Championship three years ago with a winning drive of 414 yards – 43 yards further than his nearest challenger – and with his prodigious hitting and consistent length off the tee , is regarded as the top-ranked player in the sport .
