County Golfers urged to swing into top class tournament

May 21 2008

COUNTY golfers are invited to enter one of Europe’s biggest amateur competitions, which allows an opportunity to play at a luxury resort in Egypt.

The prestigious Matchplay Championship pits pairs of golfers against each other in a series of rounds, before the winners progress to regional finals.

They’re ultimately playing for a place in the grand final, which is at the stunning Marriott Taba Heights beach resort in the South Sinai region of Egypt, and where they will be given a free week-long stay.

Around 2000 golfers are expected to take part, entry is just £20, and people have until June 30 to sign up.

First round matches take place in July, with the grand final played over three days between May 9-16, 2009.

John Woosey, managing director of The Golfer’s Club, which promotes the Matchplay Championship, said: “This not only offers players a tremendously exciting and competitive tournament of golf but, for just £20, the chance to play in one of the most stunning golfing locations on the planet.”
