David Creamer (born 9 December 1942) is a former international table tennis player and professional golfer from England.[1]

## Table tennis career

[edit]

Creamer represented England at the 1963 World Table Tennis Championships in the Swaythling Cup (men's team event) with Chester Barnes, Ian Harrison and Bryan Merrett.[2][3] He also won an English National title in 1964, in the doubles with Johnny Leach.[4]

## Golf career

[edit]

Creamer turned professional in 1966. Until he reached 50, Creamer played little top-level golf. However, he qualified for the 1980 Open Championship at Muirfield where he missed the cut.[1][5] He played regularly on the European Senior Tour from 1993 to 2007, competing in over 200 events.[5] He was twice in the top 10 of the money list, in 1997 and 2000.[5] Creamer won once, the Energis Senior Masters at Wentworth in 2000. He was a runner-up 6 times, including the PGA Seniors Championship in 1994 and the Lawrence Batley Seniors in 2002, where he lost in a playoff.[5]
