Max Faulkner and Peter Alliss at Westward Ho!

To raise funds for the National Spastics Society, Max Faulkner, open British golf champion in 1951, and Peter Alliss, will feature in an exhibition match at Westward Ho! tomorrow afternoon, by courtesy of the Royal North Devon Golf Club. Stanley Taggart and Mr E D Trapnell will join them in a four-ball game, which starts at 2.30pm. At 2pm there will be a ‘golf clinic’.

Although there is no charge to the public to see the exhibition match, opportunities will be provided for them to donate to the funds of the Society. All car toll fees are to be donated to the Society, and it is hoped visitors will be particularly generous. By donating 3s 6d to the Society members of the public will be admitted as temporary members of the Golf Club.

Max Faulkner, whose golfing attire can be quite glamorous on these occasions, recently beat Peter Thomson, the Australian, British open champion for the past three years, in the match British Golfers v The Commonwealth. Peter Alliss is a beautiful golf stylist, and is the son of a famous golfer, Percy Alliss, of Ferndown.
