Posted by: Adam Smith on Wed 14 Jul 2010

The Belfry , the spiritual home of the Ryder Cup, has expanded its successful Brabazon Challenge competition for 2010, adding extra qualifying dates for the summer-long pairs contest and offering the chance to win a range of top
prizes.

The Challenge, which ran for the first time last year, gives club golfers the chance to compete like a Tour pro on the famous Ryder Cup course for just £199* per pair.

Players can enter into an 18-hole two-ball better ball Stableford competition where they can win prizes from leading golf brands Titleist, FootJoy, and J.Lindeberg. They also benefit from a buffet breakfast before teeing off.

Set up to tournament standards, The Brabazon course will host five qualifying events between May and September that will see the top pair from each qualifier, plus the three teams with the next highest scores, advance to the
Grand Finals weekend in October.

The qualifying dates are:

• Tuesday May 11

• Tuesday June 22

• Tuesday July 20

• Tuesday August 17

• Tuesday September 21

Knock-out quarter finals will then be played on Friday 22 October, with the four winning pairs from this receiving dinner, bed & breakfast accommodation in the four-star hotel ahead of their semi finals the following day. The finalists then have a further night’s accommodation before their final takes place on 24 October.

“The Brabazon Challenge proved a great success last year and we are looking forward to an even bigger and better event in 2010,” said The Belfry’s Director of Golf Gary Silcock. “The format of the tournament allows golfers
of all abilities to follow in the footsteps of the world’s greatest players and compete on one of golf’s most iconic courses.”

Golfers who sign up to The Brabazon Challenge are also being offered a special half-price practice round on the day before qualifying at £70 per golfer after 2pm, while preferential bedroom rates are available in the hotel on the
night before qualifying at £69 per twin room.
