yder Cup legends
Darren Clarke and
Sam Torrance teamed
up with a star-studded cast
from the worlds of sport and
showbusiness to raise more
than £15,000 for charity at a
fun-packed golf day organised
by Your Golf Travel.
Clarke and Torrance were
the two captains in the Ryder
Cup-style fourball event at
the prestigious St George’s
Hill Golf Club in Weybridge,
Surrey, with all money raised
going towards Help for
Heroes and the Darren Clarke
Foundation.
Joining the pair on the fairways
for the ‘Battle on the Hill’ was
a wealth of sporting talent
including former England
football stars Glenn Hoddle,
David Seaman, Lee Dixon,
Les Ferdinand and Andy
Cole, New Zealand rugby

and Grand National winning
jockey Mick Fitzgerald.
And it was 2011 Open
champion Clarke’s team who
took the golf honours on the
day as they claimed a narrow
11-9 victory against 2002
Ryder Cup–winning captain
Torrance’s side.
Each fourball enjoyed the
privilege of playing one hole
with either Clarke or Torrance
and both captains were in great
form on and off the course
with Clarke playing one stretch
of five holes in five-under-par
at one point.
Ross Marshall, co-founder of
Your Golf Travel with Andrew
Harding, said: “Darren and
Sam were on fine form and
it was fantastic that so many
well-known faces could join
them to raise money for two
such deserving causes.
