luncheon

FROM THE PGA E-BULLETIN
Alex Hay has been announced as the guest of honour for the PGA Scottish Region's annual luncheon on Wednesday, December 15 at the Hilton Hotel, Glasgow.
The 77-year-old, pictured, is one of the game’s most popular figures, enjoying a distinguished career in golf particularly as a coach and author and most famously as a former BBC sports commentator alongside his great friend Peter Alliss.
Born in Edinburgh, he began his career as an apprentice clubmaker with Ben Sayers before becoming assistant to Bill Shankland at Potters Bar.
He was the PGA professional at East Herts and Dunham Forest and for 13 years he was the professional at Ashridge Golf Club before in 1977 becoming head pro and then the managing director of Woburn.
Meanwhile his great friend Alliss will be among the guests at the PGA's annual fund-raising lunch in London this year alongside Terry Wogan where the two will take centre stage at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Friday, December 17.
Money raised from the luncheon will go towards the PGA Benevolent Fund which annually supports members who have fallen on difficult times.
In addition the PGA is also hosting two new lunches in Cardiff and Manchester. The Cardiff event takes place on Friday, December 3 at Mercury Holland House Hotel, where Alliss is again the guest with PGA chief executive Sandy Jones hosting the event.
The following week, the Manchester lunch is at The Lowry Hotel on Wednesday, December 8 with Alliss and comedian Kevin Connelly topping the bill.
