Members of Roehampton Club were joined by Paul Barrington, former World Golf Trick Shot Champion and two times British Long Drive Champion, to celebrate the completion of its recent renovation project.

The club unveiled its recently refurbished 18-hole parkland golf course to members, who were treated to a champagne reception and morning golf competition.

They then enjoyed Barrington’s trick show, which included balls driven through chipboard, shots hit from a kneeling position and a scissor shot.

The action packed day was then rounded off by an afternoon golf competition for members and guests.

Roehampton Club chief executive Marc Newey said: “We are incredibly proud to officially announce the completion of our extensive refurbishment project and celebrate the enhanced facilities with our members.”
