MORE THAN 4,000 WANT TO NAME
ST ANDREWS' SEVENTH COURSE

More than 4000 entries have been received from all over the world for the competition to name the seventh course at the Home of Golf.
The competition run by St Andrews Links Trust, which manages and maintains the Old Course and the other five courses on the Links, closed at the end of last week. The massive field of entries, which came from as far away as Australia, Argentina, Thailand, Canada and Iceland, will now be carefully sifted to select a shortlist of possible names.
The Board of Trustees will have the final say in deciding the name of the new course. A decision will be made and announced in January.
All those entries which have suggested the chosen name will be entered into a random draw and the winner will be invited to the VIP opening ceremony and given the opportunity to play one of the first rounds on the new course when it opens for play in 2008.
The seventh course is under construction on a 220 acre clifftop site to the south east of St Andrews centred on Kinkell Ness and near Brownhills Farm.
