PUB TEAMS BID FOR GOLFING GLORY
IN NATIONAL BASS ALE TOURNAMENT
GOLFING pub
teams across Britain are being invited to tee off in style this
month as part of one of the UK's largest amateur golfing tournaments.
A nationwide
competition is being staged by Britain's best-selling premium cask
beer, Bass Ale, together with licensed trade newspaper, The Publican.
Around 7000 amateur golfers are expected to take part in the event
which will comprise over a 100 days of golf from now until June.
Any pub can
enter a team of four golfers into a first-stage series of area heats
which will be played in March. Successful teams will then go on
to play area finals, the winners of which will compete in regional
play-offs in May and June in the South East, Midlands, Wales, North,
Scotland and South West.
The tournament
will culminate in June when the regional finalists bid for golfing
glory in an all-expenses paid national final in Vilamoura, Portugal.
Bass shares
the qualities of tradition and heritage with golf and has always
been a firm favourite at the 19th! This tournament is
a unique opportunity for local golfers to play at some of the UK's
finest courses and get the chance to visit a superb, international
course in Portugal,' said Jillian Perks from the Bass Ale Brand
Team. 'We're delighted to be supporting the game of golf at a local
level across the country and are looking forward to some great golf
matches over the coming months.'
Entry forms
for the competition are being sent to more than 50,000 pubs and
clubs across the country. Additional forms can be obtained from
the tournament organisers on 01458 241778.
