Ron Menzies accepts Morocco

Festival invitation to help

North-east District of the SGU president Ron Menzies has accepted an invitation from Colin Farquharson, Tournament Director of the inaugural Morocco Golf Festival, to help run the October 9 to 16 event, to be played over four different courses in the Marrakech area.
Ron, a qualified Rules of Golf Referee and an IT expert, is also organising secretary of the North-east Golfers Alliance.
"It's too big an event for one man to do everything himself and I'm delighted that Ron has agreed to come to Morocco. We know each other well from the Alliance competitions so I know we will hit if off working in partnership on the Morocco Festival," said Colin.
The Festival tees off with a break-the-ice, better-ball pairs competition on the Sunday (October 9) and then there will be a four-round Stableford competition of which only three of the daily points scores will count for the end-of-the-week prizelists.
It is likely to be quite hot in Morocco in mid-October so a break from the golf has been built into the programme. The Wednesday (October 13) will be made up of an optional tour of Marrakech - "City of Mystery," - and an afternoon of leisure.
There will be prizes for several categories at the end of the week - Senior Men, Senior Women, Men, Women, Boys and Girls.
+There's still time to put your name down for the Morocco Festival. You can fly from Edinburgh, Manchester, Bristol or Garwick to Marrakech on October 9. For more details click on the words MOROCCO FESTIVAL at the top of the left hand column of this website's home page.
