Gordon Simpson at Ascot Library

Ascot Library

10 September 2026, 7pm.

Tickets available for £5. Book now on Eventbrite.

Gordon Simpson always wanted to be a sports writer. He achieved that ambition just short of his 18th birthday and worked in the industry for the next 50 years. The joy of sport has never left him.

Scots-born Gordon joined the PGA European Tour (now DP World Tour) based at Wentworth in 1998 and moved to Ascot, where he still lives. As Communication Director for the Tour, he became immersed in professional golf. That intimate knowledge of the game prompted Gordon to try his hand at crime fiction, set against the backdrop of the famous PGA Championship at Wentworth. The resulting debut novel, ‘Four Deadly Swings’, is a roller-coaster ride through a tournament like no other – and highlights that it’s not just your scorecard that can kill you!

Gordon has encountered superstars from all sports down the years and he’ll provide an insight into a job he describes as “the next best thing to playing”.
