ENGLAND SEND PLAYERS
TO AUSTRALIAN AND
TASMANIAN EVENTS

The English Golf Union is sending four international players for a month-long stay to Australia in the New Year to compete in four key tournaments.
Matthew Cryer, David Horsey, Stephen Lewton and Gary Wolstenholme (pictured right) will get the chance to hone their games in the sunshine ahead of the European season in the Avondale Medal, the Lake Macquarie International, and the New South Wales Medal and NSW amateur championship.
The action starts with the Avondale Medal over 36 holes at Avondale Golf Club in Sydney on the 20th January.
The Lake Macquarie International has become a regular destination for British and other international players. It is a 72-hole stroke play event being staged at Belmont Golf Club from January 25-28.
The New South Wales Medal will be played over 72 holes at Mona Vale and Cromer Golf Clubs from February 3-5 with the leading 32 players qualifying for the NSW amateur championship at Terrey Hill Golf and Country Club from February 7 to 11.
Wolstenholme will return home at the end of the Australian tournaments.
His place will be taken by Jason Palmer, who will join Cryer, Horsey and Lewton and compete in the Tasmanian Open Amateur at the Devonport Golf Club near Launceston from February 17-19.
There is no indication so far that the Scottish Golf Union will be sending players down under. All the Scots in the GB&I Walker Cup squad, with the exception of Glenn Campbell, will be competing in the Jones Cup four-round stroke-play event on Sea Island, Georgia in early February.
