It was great catching up once again with Welsh Amateur Golf Legend Llewellyn Matthews, who tells me what life looks like in Wales now the lockdown is starting to ease. Following some late night zoom conversations towards the end of lockdown, with the rest of the Glamorgan team, he tells me how himself and team manager Jonathan Williams managed to hustle together the "Sion Bebb Invitational Tournament" at the famous Morlais Castle Golf Club in South Wales, a hybrid 18 holes pro-am tournament. Despite the fact they had less than 2 weeks to arrange the tournament from scratch they still managed to get various Mens and Ladies European tour professionals to play in the event with the likes of Ryder Cup Winner Phillip Price, Ladies Tour Winner Amy Boulden and World Cup Winner Bradley Dredge, as well as the leading male and female amateurs from across Wales. Ladies European Tour Player Amy Boulden won the event with a highly impressive 67. Llew also tells me more about the famous Tillman Trophy and the other amateur events coming up and we even managed to discuss Ben Hogan playing the small 1.62 inch ball when he won the British Open in 1953 in his one and only appearance. Diolch yn Fawr Llew, until next time!
