FORMER European Tour golfer John Harrison is among the professionals competing in the Chester-le-Street Pro-Am on August 20.

The Matfen Hall director of golf, coach to current Tour pro Kenneth Ferrie, said: "All the professionals are looking forward to playing there again.

"All the dog-legs are well thought out and it's an interesting course.

It's challenging but playable, ideal for a Pro-Am."

The club still have a few places left for teams of four (£200). For an entry form, contact professional Dave Fletcher on 0191 389 0157.

Harrison also coaches the NorthEast's No 1 woman golfer, Matfen Hall's Lisa Ball.
