Its back and it even bigger and better than ever…… now four tournaments within one!!

While we have kept the format of the tournament the same with stokeplay qualifying followed by matchplay we have made two major changes to this years event.  The first change is that we are opening the tournament to a much wider audience by introducing different categories and the second and most exciting change is that the semi-finals and finals will now be played at the Radisson BLU Farnham Estate Hotel, over two days in October.

2010 Format 
The tournament will be played in the form of foursomes (alternate shots), open to all male players that hold an official GUI handicap.

The teams will consist of two players that are members of the same club and their handicaps are from the same category

Categories are as follows
Cat 1 handicaps no greater that 5.4
Cat 2 handicaps between 5.5 - 12.4
Cat 3 handicaps between 12.5 - 20.4
Cat 4 handicaps between 20.5 - 28.4

The tournament is open to teams to entry either through their club or on their own as long as they fulfil all the rules and conditions.
