MARKING TEN YEARS OF HIS GOLF DAY: MIKE AND ZARA TINDALL ARE THE PERFECT TEAM AS STARS LEND THEIR SUPPORT

They have always been a winning team in both their personal and professional lives, and last week, Zara and Mike Tindall joined forces once again at the former England rugby union captain’s annual golf charity day, hoping to raise record funds

The ISPS Handa Mike Tindall Celebrity Golf Classic marked its tenth anniversary with a star-studded day of action featuring amateur golfers including former footballer Jamie Redknapp, singer Ronan Keating and wife Storm, Zara’s former sister-in-law Autumn Phillips, TV presenter Natalie Pinkham and ex-athlete Dame Denise Lewis, who all showed off their skills at the Belfry club in Sutton Coldfield.

WINNING TEAM 

Shortly before posing for photos with his wife of nearly 12 years, Mike – in a pair of colourful shorts and a branded polo shirt – told HELLO!: “Zara and I have always understood each other’s work and what we both need to do, but to be honest, I think she’d agree that the golf day is brilliant fun and something she’s more than happy to come to. We have a lot of friends who come out to support us, so it turns into a good day that hopefully raises lots of money for important charities.”

In a big fundraising drive, this year’s event, which saw Zara sell mulligans (second-chance shots) to players and support her husband from the sidelines, featured double the usual number of participants.
