THE GOLFER FOR HILTON

Aaron McIlroy presents one performance of his latest stage show at the Hilton College Theatre.

Move over Ernie and all you Masters Open contenders..... South Africa's Master of Mirth, Aaron McIlroy is back on top form once more with his latest stage production The Golfer, dispensing hot tips on how to make your mark as a winner - both on and off the course.

Co-written and directed by Steven Stead, McIlroy's The Golfer sends the ball whizzing into orbit with a series of sketches that have audiences falling out of their seats. First and last in the line-up is Truscott Price, that motivational guru of The Loser fame. Here, Truscott has bounced back as a sports psychologist, sharing the stage with a whole new gallery of McIlroy's alter egos. These include your archetypal golf widow, an expert in bedroom golf; a spandex-clad, fashionista, previewing his custom-made range for his A-list clientele; and a real-estate power pitcher with a hotline to the latest in politically correct golfing estates.

"The show's all about living the dream", says Aaron. "The mission is to promote the Reach for a Green Foundation, which works towards the Emancipation of the Working Man."

The Golfer has one performance on May 1 at 19h30 at the Hilton College Theatre. Tickets R80. All bookings or enquiries to 033-383 0126 or email tickets@hiltoncollege.com
