"This
year's Ben Simpson Open was taken on the road for the first time ever
with Selsdon Park hosting. A little drizzle in the morning gave way to
glorious sunshine in the afternoon for another exceptionally enjoyable
round of golf.
And it is with great
pride and enormous satisfaction that I can report that the winner this
year was none other than Rob Simpson, mine and Ben's dad!! There could
not have been a more popular winner and the roar of the crowd when Dad
collected the trophy confirmed this!!
Many people help out
to make sure the day runs smoothly but special thanks to Jonny, Popsy
and Graeme for their help and of course the day wouldn't be complete
without the BBQ in the evening so thank you to Ian and Trevor for
cooking it, and Bethan and Mum for preparing it!
We
managed to raise £750 for CRY which is fantastic and the day is
without doubt the perfect way to celebrate and remember Ben's life.
Roll on next year where I shall finally get my name on the trophy!"
Joe Simpson
