After Dinner Speakers: Sandy Lyle, Julio Iglesias, Peter Gordon
Sandy has won almost every accolade available to a professional athlete. His contribution to British society was recognised in 1987 when he was awarded the prestigious Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for a professional career that includes 29 tournament wins around the world and five Ryder Cup appearances. Victories in the 1985 British Open and 1988 Masters have assured his place in the history of the game. His win at Augusta is remembered throughout the world of golf for a spectacular fairway bunker shot and birdie on the 72nd hole making him the first Briton to claim the Green Jacket
Prizes, money and awards have not changed the essence of the man. He has remained one of sport's true gentlemen. He is a traditionalist with a warm and genuine personality and continues to be one of the most popular players in the game today.
