Dream of a chance for golfers

CLUB golfers will get the chance to chase their dreams this season – and could win a place in a European Tour Pro-Am, thanks to a partnership between Bridgestone Tyres and England Golf.

The Bridgestone Chase Your Dream Trophy, which is being played for the first time in 2017, will be an annual event open to members of England Golf’s 1,900 affiliated clubs.

It features separate competitions for men and women to discover the country’s top handicap golfers of the year.

It will take them on a golfing adventure with nine men and nine women qualifying to play in the Pro-Am at the Bridgestone Challenge on the European Challenge Tour, followed by a dream outing with a top Tour player at the Pro-Am of the British Masters supported by Sky Sports.

England Golf’s chief executive, Nick Pink, commented: “We are delighted to partner with Bridgestone and join their campaign to inspire new golfers and put existing players at the heart of the grassroots game.”

The Bridgestone Chase Your Dream Trophy will replace the women’s Grand Medal and the men’s Gold Medal competitions.

This year’s grande finale will take place in England Golf Week at Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire in August. ● For more details visit the official website www.englandgolf.org Price subject to fluctuation.
