North-east pros head for Florida Winter Tour

PAUL AND MARK TO PLAY IN SIX EVENTS
THAT COST $725 EACH TO ENTER!

Two young Inchmarlo Golf Centre professionals, Paul Cormack and Mark Barnard, are heading for Florida at the end of this month to play six events on the NGA Hooters Tour.
“It’s not going to be cheap. The entry fee per event is $725 dollars plus a tour membership fee of $725. If you don’t take out tour membership, the entry fee per tournament goes up to $850,” said Paul (pictured right) who turned professional only a week or two ago.
He spent a couple of years at McLennan Community College, near Waco in Texas.
The courses they will be playing include the LPGA International at Daytona Beach, where the first two events will be played. The Winter Series Tour – all events 54 holes – moves on to Stonegate at Solvita Golf Club, Pionciana.
After that Paul and Mark, who is now attached to Slaley Hall Golf Club, will have a break from November 17 to November 28, which is the start of the next three-tournament series at Timacuan Golf Club, Lake Mary.
Then the North-east pair will play at Stonebrook East Golf Club, Orlando from December 5 to 7 and Southern Dunes Golf Club, Haines City from December 12 to 14 before heading home.
Each event has a cut after 36 holes. The organisers guarantee that 85% of the entry fees goes back out again in prizefunds.
