NEW GOLF EVENT FROM MAGNERS IRISH CIDER

Magners Irish Cider is to introduce a new Scottish Golf Championship for the 2007 Season.

The Magners Scottish Golf Championship will be open to every male club golfer in Scotland. Each club in Scotland will be able to register one qualifying tournament at their club between 1st April and 31st July, where the two best golfers will progress to one of four Regional Finals. The Regional Finals will be held at Kings Acre, Kilmacolm, King James VI and Inchmarlo Golf Clubs.

The two golfers representing their club at the regional finals will play as a pair (two ball better ball, one score to count at each hole), and the top 6 pairs from each regional final will qualify for the Magners Grand Final at the Macdonald Cardrona Resort, which will be played at the end of September. The winning pair at the Grand Final will be crowned the Magners Scottish Golf Champions 2007, and win a fabulous golfing break in Ireland.

Jules Macken, Magners GB Brand Manager, said: ‘Magners has been a supporter of amateur golf in Scotland since the brand was first introduced here in 2003. There is also a long association with golf in Ireland. Magners and golf are a perfect fit. The brand has a strong presence in Golf Clubs where the iconic pint bottle and ice are enjoyed by golfers after completing their round.

‘Of the clubs in Scotland, we hope that more than 300 will participate, which would mean that around 24,000 club golfers could potentially enter the championship. We believe that this would make our event one of Scotland’s biggest nationally recognised participation golf events.’
