Preston Park in Brighton was the venue for the first day of the Brighton & Hove International Festival of Sport. Darren Cook, our PGA Professional, and his two PGA Assistants, Arron Trott and Russell Cronin, provided free golf lessons to adults and hundreds of children in two inflatable driving ranges and on two small putting holes. They were helped at various times throughout the day by a team comprising Megan Bibby, our General Manager, her daughter Tania, her assistant Pauline Danes and supported by the Club Captain (Dennis Baker), the Club President (Don Thatcher), Howard Coulson and all of the Board (Chairman Richard Simmons, John Lane, Ken Hopkins, Brian Hazelgrove and Jeanie Bailey). Eight images from the day are shown below.         Saturday 28 June 2008
