Celtic Pro Tour extends membership offer

The Celtic Pro Tour is extending its offer of cut-price membership to the end of January.
The Welsh-based development tour, which enters its fourth season this year, has cut membership prices from £175 to £99, as a way of supporting young professional golfers during this financially pressured time.
The offer was due to end on December 31, but has been extended by a month.
Tour director, Rhydian Thomas said: "The difficult economic situation is affecting professional golfers as much as anyone.
“By extending our reduced membership offer, we are showing them our support, and hopefully the guys will be able to afford to enter and win money on their own locally-based professional tour.”
Entry fees to the tour’s 36-hole events have also been reduced from £149 to £100.
Golfers wanting to join the tour are asked to send cheques, made payable to Celtic Golf Tours Ltd to the following address: Ein Cartref, Adare Terrace, Treorchy, RCT, South Wales, CF42 6EN.
The 2009 Celtic Pro Tour will include eight events across Wales with an extra event in Ireland. Venues confirmed so far are: Marriott St Pierre, Southerndown, Gower, St Mary’s and Garnant Park, with negotiations ongoing with three more. Details of these will be announced in the next few weeks, with the official schedule including dates following that.
The Celtic Pro Tour has proven to be an excellent testing ground for aspiring tour professionals, with European Tour professionals Stuart Manley and Kyron Sullivan, Asian Tour pro Craig Smith and former double winning Welsh Open Young PGA professional champion Adam Constable, event winners in recent seasons.
This year’s X Factor contestant, former pro golfer James Williams has also won money on the Tour, which also accommodates amateur golfers with a scratch handicap or better (£50 entry fee per 36-hole event and no membership required) and lady professionals.
