Video Tutorial: Number of Clubs before you start

Written by  Andrew Wild on Thursday, 17 February 2011
Did you know you can only have a maximum of 14 clubs in your golf bag when you start a round? Leaderboard's Andrew Wild explains all.




Do you know it is your responsibility before you start your game of golf to make sure that you have a maximum of 14 golf clubs in your bag? 

There’s a famous incident with Ian Woosnam at the British Open where, on the second tee, he discovered he had 15 clubs which cost him a two shot penalty and from that point he lost the open.

Andrew manages all aspects of Sandford Springs including Food and Beverage, Golf, Finance and Memberships.

Andrew originally met the Chairman, Paul Gibbons, when he was an assistant Golf Pro at Reading Golf Club 28 years ago.

Interestingly, 15 years later Andrew was giving Paul a series of lessons, during which he mentioned there was a club in Hampshire which was up for sale. After going to visit the club, Mr Gibbons ended up buying Sandford Springs. 

Andrew joined the company a couple of years later and six years on, he became the General Manager at the club they had first discussed all that time ago.

Andrew has a deep passion for the game of golf, which aids his enthusiasm in all his endeavours at Sandford Springs. Aside from playing, he enjoys simply being around the golf club and takes a great interest in looking after his members.

He believes that the atmosphere at Sandford Springs is second to none and finds it such a pleasure to be involved with the club that, in his own words – "Sometimes it doesn't even feel like work".
