Stephen joined by “oldest friend in football” leon osman at formby ladies golf club
Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman joined Stephen for a round of golf at Formby Ladies Golf Club, with Golf Clubs 4 Cash. GC4C is a leading supplier of pre-owned golf equipment and Stephen is a proud ambassador.
The Formby Ladies Golf Club, a course that Stephen calls “one of the hidden gems of the Northwest,” proved to be as scenic as it was challenging. Traditionally a women-only club, men can play on occasion, and both Stephen and Leon embraced its unique short layout that favours accuracy and finesse over power. With heather-lined fairways and smaller greens, Stephen noted, “You don’t need a driver... you can play it with just irons,” setting the tone for a more strategic game.
The video was filled with highlights of the competitive yet lighthearted game between Stephen and Leon, who joked about Stephen’s latest gear acquisition—a LAB putter from Golf Clubs 4 Cash, purchased after a few frustrating rounds. “I three-putted about four holes and said, ‘That’s got to go!’” Stephen quipped. Leon, on the other hand, chose his TaylorMade M3 irons years ago based on a shop assistant’s advice, humorously noting, “That’s what the man told me to do.”
Beyond the game, they shared stories from their footballing days, having grown up near each other and often playing in the same local leagues. Stephen reminisced about their trips to games together and joked that Leon “never brought the sweets,” always relying on him for match-day snacks. The conversation naturally turned to Everton, with Leon expressing hope for the club’s future as it prepares to transition to a new stadium. “It’ll be a big thing to leave Goodison… but this new stadium looks outstanding.”
By the final hole, Stephen clinched a narrow victory, cementing bragging rights for the day and leaving the door open for a future rematch. The day at Formby Ladies demonstrated not only the brand value of Golf Clubs 4 Cash but also Stephen and Leon’s enduring camaraderie—a blend of competitive spirit and mutual respect on the course.
