GUSTAV RICCI - SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR

07/02/2012

It is not an every day occurrence that a golfer is nominated to receive an award. In these past years, I can only recall Nicholas Beck and John Micallef Stafrace to have been nominated for a chance to receive the award for the best junior sportsperson.

So it was with great pleasure to learn that Gustav Ricci had also been so nominated in 1984. Gustav would then have been a young 58 year old.

I believe that this was the very first time that a golfer was so nominated and I think it is still the only time that a non-junior golfer had the privilege to be so nominated.

If you have more or different information to the above please let us know.

In the meantime – well done Gustav.
