Turkey to stage world amateur team
championships in September 2012
It was apparently announced in Adelaide on October 18 but it has taken a little time for the news to filter back to Scotland:
Antalya, Turkey has been selected as the site of the 2012 World Amateur Team Championships, The 25th women's championship for the Espirito Santo Trophy and the 28th men's championship for the Eisenhower Trophy will be played in September of 2012.
"It is like a dream," Turkish Golf Federation President Ahmet Agaoglu said. "I could not dream of this four years ago. Golf is the fastest growing sport in Turkey and we were very keen to get these championships. This will help promote and grow golf in our country and as the number of golf courses will continue to increase year by year, the number of young players will as well."
