Roll of Honour

Ryder Cup player (2010). Multiple wins on the European and Sunshine Tours.

Did you know?

Born in Ascot in Berkshire, Fisher was introduced to golf at the age of three by his step-father. His game was developed and honed close to Ascot at the prestigious Wentworth Club. Aged 23 Fisher embarked on a professional golf career, and became a frequent winner and challenger on the European Tour.

In his private life, Fisher has something of a penchant for fast cars ... with his local Ferrari and Maserati garage located in Egham, just a couple of minutes away (by Ferrari) from Wentworth, which remains Fisher's home club.

Who's Who

Céline Boutier: with many successes as both an amateur and professional golfer, Boutier added a major championship title to her impressive résumé at this year’s Evian Championship.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
