Ashburnham is a very special links course that has a special place in the hearts of a number of goflers, and some of those happen to be some of the best players who have ever played the game!

Indeed, former Ryder Cup captain and worldwide winning Tour pro Bernard Gallacher won his very first professional event at Ashburnham when he won the Schweppes PGA Championship in 1969. And another former Ryder Cup captain Sam Torrance also got his professional career off the ground when he won his first event at Ashburnham by lifting the Martini International in 1976.
