CELTIC PRO TOUR EVENT AT MURCAR
LINKS NEXT WEEK

Golfers, professional and scratch or better amateurs, wishing to enter the Celtic Pro Tour 36-hole event at Murcar Links next Monday and Tuesday (October 1 and 2) are asked to contact Tour Director Rhydian Thomas on 07861 686568 or email him at info@celticpro.co.uk or register online at the website at www.celticpro.com by 5pm on Saturday (September 29).
“We really see Scotland and Ireland as very important to the Tour, and will not simply be staging one or two events in both countries each year. Our vision is for a 24 event fully-fledged Celtic Pro Tour, with at least eight events in Scotland and eight in Ireland each year. Indeed, we have already built the Thistle Tour brand in readiness, and that and the Shamrock Tour will join the Dragon Tour in the Celtic Pro Tour portfolio for many years to come,” said Roger Maliphant, event organiser for the Celtic Pro Tour.
There is no annual membership fee for Scottish professionals, with individual event entry priced at £99 per person. Amateur golfers with a scratch handicap or better can also enter the Murcar Links event at a cost of £55.
Prize money will be £2,000 with 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.
“As Murcar is the last regular season event before the Tour Championship, we are expecting five or six Welsh golfers to travel north also, as they seek to stay in the hunt for the Order of Merit title. The leader at the moment is former Welsh and Portuguese amateur champion, David Price, who has also played Europro and Challenge Tour events this season,” said Tour Director, Rhydian Thomas.
