English Golf Union release dates and
venues for 2011 season
The English Golf Union (EGU) will break new ground in 2011 when the English Amateur Championship is staged at Woburn Golf Club.
Also in the 2011 fixtures just released, Burnham & Berrow will play host to the Brabazon Trophy, while the County Finals will be contested at Ganton.
Woburn’s Marquess and Duchess courses will stage the English Amateur from the 25th - 30th July 2011 and while the famous club has been the venue for many prestigious professional tournaments for more than 25 years, this will only be the second time it has hosted an EGU Championship.
The first was in 1982 when the Brabazon Trophy was staged there with England International Paul Downes emerging as champion.The same does not apply to Burnham & Berrow. The Somerset jewel has been a regular on the EGU fixture list and the 2011 Brabazon (English Men’s Open Stroke Play Championship) from 24th - 26th June, will further cement the link.
Burnham & Berrow has hosted the Brabazon on two previous occasions. In 1956 the title went to Stan Fox of Hartley Wintney Artisans on 292, winning by four strokes, then in 1990 Gary Evans and Olivier Edmond from France finished tied on 287.
The club has also hosted many more EGU events, including the English Amateur on six occasions, the most recent in 2006 when Ross McGowan beat Oliver Fisher in the final. Six English County Championships have also been played over the famous links as well as the Carris Trophy.
The full English Golf Union 2011 fixture list is:
June 1-3: English Seniors Championship (Northamptonshire Co and Northampton).
