Presenting the UK’s hottest amateur golf tour

• 4 Great Courses
• 4 Unforgettable Golf Experiences
• 4 World Final Spots
• 1 Golden Ticket

This is your chance to win a money-can’t-buy golf trip of a lifetime that could end up with you teeing off in the United Arab Emirates next year with the likes of Sergio Garcia, Graeme McDowell and Retief Goosen at one of the most prestigious and exclusive pro-ams in world golf - the Emirates Airline Invitational Hosted by Abdullah Al Naboodah.

Emirates Airline Invitational UK Golden Ticket Tour 2012 is in aid of the highly worthy charity, the Jude Brady Foundation, which raises money to support families who experience stillbirth and neonatal death and supported by celebrity golfer DJ Spoony.

DJ Spoony commented “I can’t wait for the Golden Ticket Tour, it’s a chance for amateurs to play in a real Tour-style format with a truly unforgettable prize at the end of it. The Emirates Airline Invitational is an event everybody wants to play whether they’re celebrities, sportsmen or high-flying businessmen, but you can’t get in unless they invite you! With four trips on offer and 12 places at The Carrick up for grabs I don’t think there’s another amateur tour in the UK to touch it.”

How it works:

Regional Qualifiers: The Golden Ticket UK Tour 2012 will take in three spectacular De Vere golf venues. Playing alongside the likes of DJ Spoony, former Celtic and West Ham goalkeeper Allen McKnight, the winner of each event will be flown by Emirates Airline to play in the Golden Ticket World Final at the Official host venue in January 2013 (hotel accommodation included).

Players will accumulate points and must compete in at least two of the three regional events to become eligible for the Golden Ticket UK Tour Final Shootout.
