The managing director of Hadden Hill Golf Club yesterday denied not liking a 19-year-old man accused of theft.
Daniel Walker, of Meadowside, Abingdon, a former assistant at the club's shop, denies seven charges of theft, totalling about £300, between August 2006 and February 2007.
During cross-examination at Oxford Crown Court Michael Morley, the club's managing director, said: "I didn't not like him, I didn't particularly like him, he was a young man I was just trying to help."
He also denied claims by Dee Connolly, defending, that he had reprimanded Walker in front of customers.
The trial continues.
