Golf title launches Mid Amateur Trophy
The inaugural Golf Digest Mid Amateur Trophy, presented by KWV and Lexus, will be played at four top courses around South Africa that have previously hosted the SA Open. “With so many younger players now competing in tournaments and league fixtures around the country, mid-amateur golf has become very popular in SA for players who still want to remain competitive,” explains Golf Digest assistant editor Barry Havenga.
“We want to give golfers over the age of 35 the chance to play in a competitive environment, while maintaining a social atmosphere.”
The national finals will be hosted by Pearl Valley in the Western Cape on 26 – 27 March 2008, where the South African Airways Open will be played.
This new event will be based on the individual Stableford format but with a difference. Players enter as a fourball but are split into two separate twoballs who play with two other contestants. The best three scores on the day will be the team total. The leading two teams from each regional event will qualify for an all-expenses-paid trip to take part in the finals. Entries must be a fourball and players need to have a SAGA handicap.
The regional rounds will take place at the following venues:
- Durban Country Club: 14 February 2008
- Humewood: 6 March 2008
- Glendower: 10 March 2008
- Erinvale: 18 March 2008
To enter, go to www.golfdigest.co.za. The entrance fee is R3200 per team of four and includes a years subscription to Golf Digest magazine, green fees, halfway house, dinner, a post round drink, Adidas charcoal golf shirt valued at R500, a sleeve of new Taylormade golf balls and Taylormade cap, an Aramis umbrella and aftershave balm plus the chance of winning through to the finals.
