As you all should know Sir Bob is the Patron of the Christchurch Golf Club, a Life Member and a former Club Champion (1959). In recognition of his contribution to the Club and Golf generally the Board sometime ago resolved to rename the 19th the Sir Bob Charles Longroom.
In response to this gesture Sir Bob has donated a significant amount of memorabilia to the Club for display in the room. In particular now on show are the clubs used by Sir Bob when he won the "British" Open in 1963 and these are on display in a cabinet constructed by club member Karl Kitchingham (Evolution Furniture & a former two time club champion).
In addition the walls of the room have been enlivened by number of appropriate golfing pictures marking Sir Bob's progress through his career. If you have not already done so I suggest you put aside some time to quietly peruse these wonderful additions to the fabric of the Clubhouse. The Club is deeply indebted and appreciative of the generosity shown by Sir Bob. It is the Board's intention to have a formal dinner with him in attendance early in 2010 to mark the official opening and name change.
