Franz Klammer Wooden Spoon Golf Classic 2011
The 14th Wooden Spoon Golf Classic was held on 20th September at a new location this year at Hendon Golf Club in North London. UK travel and media professionals come together with Austrian sponsors and the tournament's host Franz Klammer, an alpine ski racing legend who dominated the downhill event throughout much of the mid to late 1970s. The day starts with welcome drinks and lunch before the shot-gun start. Dinner and the prize-giving ceremony wrap up the event and pose a wonderful opportunity to catch up with old acquaintances and make new contacts.

We would like to thank our sponsors for the wonderful Austrian treats that kept us watered and fed throughout the day, and for their generous prizes:
Carinthian Tourist Board - Main Sponsor
Innsbruck Tourist Board - Longest Drive
Tirol Tourist Board and Airport Innsbruck - Tirol Team Trophy
Alpenresort Schwarz - Nearest to the Pin
