CYPRUS GOLF
FEDERATION
WANTS YOU TO
PLAY THERE
IN APRIL
TOURNAMENTS
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Received an E-mail message this evening from a Linda Jones of Paphos on the island of Cyprus.
I think she has something to do with the Cyprus Golf Federation because she is seeking my help to bring to the attention of male and female amateur golfers in Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales that the Cyprus women’s open amateur championship (36 holes stroke-play) and the Cyprus men’s open amateur championship (54 holes stroke-play) are being played one after another in the same week in April.
The women’s championship starts on Tuesday, April 17 after a practice day and the men’s championship tees off on Friday, April 20 after a Thursday practice day.
The Cyprus Golf Federation has all the details on http://www.cfg.org.cy/
Apparently, if you fly by Cyprus Airways you can get a 10% discount.
Cyprus Airways does not fly in or out of Glasgow or Edinburgh. Manchester is the nearest airport.
Don’t be scared off by the fact that these are the national championships of a foreign country.
The handicap limit for the men’s competition is 12 and for the ladies it is 24.
There are three handicap sections in the prize list fori the women’s championship – up to 9, 10 to 17, and 18 to 24.
The women’s entry fee of CYP £80 (that’s 80 Cyprus £s and the rate of exchange is £1 Sterling = 0.86904 CYP), covers three rounds of golf and a ticket to the gala prizegiving dinner on the closing Sunday night (April 22).
The venue for both tournaments is Secret Valley Golf Club (pictured above).
I’ve asked Linda Jones to give me more details with regard to things like accommodation and where the golf course is in relation to the airport and the possible hotels.
If you are interested, have a look at the Cyprus Golf Federation website and key in Cyprus Airways to your Search Machine and see how much it would cost you to get there and back.
When Linda comes back with more details, I shall pass them on.
Oh, by the way, she says that the weather at the moment on Cyprus is “lovely, warm and sunny.”
