What an event this promises to be at Rudding Park!

I'm delighted to be hosting an evening with one of golf's great caddies and characters, Billy Foster. From carrying the bag for Seve Ballesteros to helping Matt Fitzpatrick to the US Open triumph in 2022, Foster has walked the world's best golf courses and been on the bag for some of the greatest players to ever swing a club.
In a career spanning over 40 years his reputation as a world class caddie led to Tiger Woods "borrowing him" for the President's Cup and more recently Collin Morikawa asking to work with him for The Open this past July.

I look forward to an entertaining evening and our guests might even pick up a tip or two to help their own game as well!

What a difference 3 months can make!

A fresh look. A new manager and a revamped team - and importantly the EFL (English Football League) season is up and running with a win!

The football season returned over the weekend. Much has changed - on and off the pitch - at Huddersfield Town. Including the refurbished Riverside Club lounge - a lounge I will host throughout the coming season.

The highlight of our pre-match build up... a visit from Chairman, Kevin Nagle. He joined me on stage as we discussed his ambition for the coming season. He told members the club aims to win promotion and the investment in every area this off season highlights that ambition. He wants the team to entertain - and they certainly did on Saturday. Kicking off the new campaign with an impressive 3-0 over last year's League 1 playoff Finalists, Leyton Orient.

New signing Alfie May scored on his debut and also joined us in the Riverside Club afterwards to help present awards and discuss the performance.

1 game in. It's only 1 win and the campaign has only just begun but this Town team has already given everyone plenty to be optimistic about in the season to come.

This past weekend was my first opportunity to work on the World Championship of Legend 2025 as the Stadium Announcer at Headingley Stadium.

4 games across 2 days between international teams comprising of great players from previous eras. We were treated to some destructive hitting from AB de Villiers, Brett Lee rolled back the years as captain of Australia, Chris Gayle approached everything in his customary cool, calm manner and Eoin Morgan led England to their first victory in this year's competition. The Indian fans brought plenty of colour and there was some competitive cricket to keep everyone entertained.

Many thanks to Adam Pearce and K2B Productions for ensuring everything ran smoothly. From introducing the teams and Anthems on the World Feed to announcing batters and bowling changes. Little things make a big difference and Adam made my role straight forward.

I look forward to working with them again in the future.
