FOR THOSE AGED 35 AND OVER

MID AMATEUR GOLF TOUR ANNOUNCE

SCHEDULE FOR 2014

Mid Amateur Golf (www.midamgolf.co.uk) are pleased to announce the schedule for the 2014 season that starts with a 36 hole event at The Open qualifying venue at Littlestone in Kent and will be the first event on the Mid Amateur Golf Tour Order of Merit, which was won last year by Stephen Creed of Maxstoke Park.

The schedule for 2014 includes events at Littlestone, Ganton, Royal Blackheath, Machynys Peninsula, Sunningdale, Hankley Common, Liphook, Porters Park, Berkhamsted, Hollinwell, Old Fold Manor, Berkhamsted and many more with the event at Machynys Peninsula forming part of the R and A and USGA World Amateur Ranking for 2014. (WAGR)

“2013 was a great year for us with more and more people joining the tour and entrant numbers increasing and 2014 promises to be even better with a revised format for the Order of Merit with some great prizes and a grand final overseas.”  commented Jason Morris, Director of Golf at Mid Amateur Golf. 

“For 2014 players will be able to compete in a year-long series of events at some of the best courses in the UK and will be trying to qualify for the complimentary finals day at Moortown Golf Club on the 8^th October where 6 lucky winners will be whisked off to an overseas venue for an all-expenses paid grand-final.” added Jason.

The Mid Amateur Golf Tour is open to any male golfer aged 35 years or over on the day of play and anyone with an active CONGU handicap can enter to play.   

There is no ballot system with the events that are run by Mid Amateur Golf – they are on a first come first served basis which allows everyone the opportunity to enter and play in the events.  You do not need to be a member of the tour but only tour members can win the order or merit and qualify for the finals day at Moortown. 

There is also a new Team event in 2014 being held at The Wildernesse Club in Kent which has a limited field and is already half full.

“The Mid Amateur Golf Tour is rapidly becoming the tour to compete on.  The best courses, professionally organised and some great prizes – what more could you want?!” 

Players can register for the tour and order of merit at www.midamgolf.co.uk.
