CELTIC TOUR PRESS RELEASE

CELTIC PRO TOUR HEADS BACK TO IRELAND
FOR WICKLOW OPEN ON MONDAY-TUESDAY

The Wales-based Celtic Pro Tour heads back to Ireland next week, when Tulfarris Hotel and Golf Resort hosts the Wicklow Open on Monday and Tuesday, July 23 and 24.
The Tour, which has grown from the Dragon Tour, encompasses two visits to Ireland and two events in Scotland.
It has a further seven events in Wales from August to October at Ashburnham, Clyne, Pwllheli, St Mellons & St Mary's (joint event), Cottrell Park, Aberdovey and St Pierre.
“Our first four events in Wales this season have already created a lot of interest, with Setanta Golf, S4C and BBC 2 Wales visiting and filming parts of each event, said Tour Director, Rhydian Thomas. “The four events have also produced four different winners.”
Companies in Wales are now coming forward to support the Tour with Porthcawl-based Waterfront Promotions supplying the golfers with bottled water at each event.
"This kind of support is invaluable to the players,” said Thomas. “It enables them to keep fluids in their system throughout the four or five hours of a long round, helping them to maintain peak physical and mental performance when the competition is at its toughest.''
Golfers can still join the Celtic Pro Tour, with individual event entry priced at £99 per person. Amateur golfers with a scratch handicap or better can also enter events at a cost of £55.
Prize money at each event will be at least £1,000 to the winner, with the top 25% in the field winning money also.
A voucher will be available to the leading amateur, depending on numbers in the field.
Golfers wishing to enter next week's event, the Wicklow Open at Tulfarris Hotel and Golf Resort on Monday and Tuesday, are asked to contact Tour Director, Rhydian Thomas on 07861 686568 or register online at the website at www.celticpro.com by 5pm on Saturday, July 21.
The next Welsh-based event is the West Wales Classic at Ashburnham on Monday 13th and Tuesday, August 14.
