Launch of Golf World - Jameson, Club Champion of Champions

The launch of Golf World - Jameson Club Champion of Champions has taken place at Stoke Park Club (formerly Stoke Poges Golf Club) Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire.

Attending was TaylorMade adidas European Tour player Ian Poulter, himself a former Club Champion, who helped to launch this prestigious nation-wide
competition. Ian, the European Tour's Rookie of the Year last season, won his second tournament over the weekend at the Moroccan Open.

The Club Champion of Champions is open to all current Club Champions, who
will be entered into 11 regional finals across the UK at some of the country's leading golf venues, from Celtic Manor on the Welsh borders to Turnberry in Scotland.

The five finalists from each event will then go through to a two-day final, gala dinner and final day prize giving at Woodhall Spa on 16th, 17th August.

The whole event is being sponsored by Jameson Whiskey and is being supported by leading golf equipment manufacturer TaylorMade adidas Golf, who will hold demo days at each regional event.

"We are delighted that Golf World and Jameson have resurrected this tournament after a number of years away, as we feel it is a much needed vehicle to support competitive golf within the club structure. To this end we offered our support in order to ensure the success of the tournament and also to allow the champions of 2000 to test our tour leading range of performance products that could help them retain their titles in 2001", said Robin Gibson, European Marketing Manager, TaylorMade adidas Golf.
