England's Todd Adcock to spend four months in Australia

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE ENGLISH GOLF UNION
England international Todd Adcock will spend the next four months in the sunshine of Australia under the English Golf Union’s (EGU) annual arrangement with the Waverley Golf Club of Melbourne.
The former English Champion will guest for the club’s team in the Victoria Golf Association’s Pennant Series of events, which run from March to May, as well as competing in the major Australian amateur championships prior to that.
Sussex-based Adcock, who won the 2008 English amateur championship by beating Chris Paisley in the final at Woodhall Spa, made his England debut in that year’s Home Internationals at Muirfield and also played against Spain at La Reserva last year. A former Sussex Champion, Adcock, 24, has been to Australia before. In 2008 he represented the EGU in the Federal Amateur, finishing fourth.
The arrangement with the Waverley club, which has run for several years, will see Adcock staying with club members. The Pennant Series is a club team competition which commenced in 1899 between five clubs. This year, 44 clubs will be involved divided into six divisions with promotion and relegation operating at the end of the series.
Matches are played each week at a different venue on a round robin basis in each division with each club represented by a seven-man team.
