The entry list for the 2016 PGA Cornish Festival has opened.
The flagship PGA West Region annual event is based as usual at Trevose Golf and Country Club, near Padstow, and again features the classic championship links at St Enodoc.
This year the third venue for the 54-hole three-day festival will be
the Carlyon Bay Golf Club at St Austell which is being
included for the first time.
Teams of one professional and three amateurs play at each venue over
the three days from April 19-21 with the reception and presentations
taking place at Trevose.
Regional PGA secretary Kevin Hind said: ’We have given priority to our
South West and Welsh professionals who will be guaranteed entry by
booking before February 1. We are also welcoming anyone who has played
in previous years or from any PGA professionals who wish to sample one
of the most popular pro-ams in the UK.
Many of the 114 teams, not only from the West but also from all over
Britain, automatically rebook each year.
Many notable players and personalities are regular visitors, among them
Ryder Cup men Paul Broadhurst and Phillip Price, who finished first and
second last year, as well as many European Tour players from both the regular and seniors’ tours.
Entry forms will be available from the website at www.pga.info and from
the regional office on 01395 232288.
