HIGHLAND OF YEAR FOR ANGUS GOLF
Carnoustie Country To Host Second
Festival of Golf
CARNOUSTIE COUNTRY FESTIVAL OF
GOLF FROM OCTOBER 4 TO 12
NEWS RELEASE
Following the
success of last year’s Carnoustie Country Festival of Golf, plans are well underway
for the 2014 Festival, which will take place in and around the county of Angus
from October 4 to 12.
International
golf tournaments and Texas scrambles are among the events being held on
Carnoustie Country’s top-rated courses during the Festival of Golf, which aims
to encourage people from near and far to play golf on Carnoustie Country’s 30
golf courses while also encouraging golfers who are residents in the area to
join a local golf club.
The Alfred
Dunhill Links Championship, which sees many of the world’s top golfers and
best-known celebrities playing golf at Carnoustie, St Andrews and Kingsbarns, tees off the week of exciting golfing activities.
The Dunhill concludes on
October 5, just as hordes of hickory golfers descend upon Carnoustie Country,
brandishing golf clubs and wearing golf attire similar to those of golfers from
days gone by.
The hickory
golfers will be competing in the World Hickory Open, which is being played on
Panmure Medal on October 7 and 8.
This internationally-renowned tournament begins with
a warm-up round at Forfar Golf Club on October 6 and ends with a Ryder Cup-style
match on October 8, when a group of top American hickory specialists will take
on a team of hickory golfers representing The Rest of The World at Monifieth
Medal and Ashludie courses.
These major
events will be interspersed with events aimed at visiting and local golfers on Carnoustie
Country golf courses. There are already several golf tournaments in the Festival’s
programme but the organisers are keen to include more – and also golfers’ dinners,
golf-related talks and golf exhibitions and are currently appealing for golf
clubs or golfing enthusiasts who would like to be involved to get in touch.
All events in
the Carnoustie Country Festival of Golf programme will be supported by online
and offline promotion and will be widely publicised, providing an excellent opportunity
for clubs to hold membership drives or accommodation providers in the local
area to provide special golfing stay and play packages during the Festival.

2014 programme - contact 01307 473226, email blackg@angus.gov.uk or submit
