VIDEO: Observer editor beats pros to land golf prize
The stars of sport gathered at Goodwood to celebrate the relaunch of the estate's Park course.
Big names from golf, racing and motorsport – the three sports Goodwood specialises in – took part in a celebrity par-three shoot-out with two former England cricketers.

Get this week's (March 19) Observer for a chance to win a free round of golf at Goodwood's Park course
Darren Gough and Ronnie Irani were joined by Ryder Cup golfers Neil Coles, Steve Richardson and Paul Way, former champion jockey John Francome and ex-motor racing ace Tiff Needell.
Only four players managed to find the green of the 190-yard par-three nearest-the-pin shootout – and Observer editor Colin Channon, a nine-handicapper, beat the pros at their own game as his shot finished 10ft 3in from the hole.
It won him 1,000 for charity.
Any golfer who gets inside that marker in the course's launch week – it opens on April 4 – will win a free round and the best of the day receives a Callaway putter.
The best shot of the week wins a luxury weekend at the Goodwood Hotel for two people.
Way said: "We had a great time – the course is in great condition and is a good test."
