The leading 25 players (and ties) from the 156 that will contest Final Stage will be eligible for Category 17 membership of the European Tour and Category 5 membership of the Challenge Tour for the 2017/18 season. The leading 70 players (and ties) who make the 72-hole cut will obtain Category 22 membership of the European Tour and Category 9 membership of the Challenge Tour. Those who miss the cut receive Category 15 membership of the Challenge Tour. Good luck this week Jacko from myself, Scottie, Kev and all the members at Llanwern, you can do it!
Club Manager Julian and Greenkeeper Scottie flying the LGC flag at the Belfry
Monday saw Julian Sansom and Scottie Arnold travel to the Belfry to play in the national finals of the Tacit Club Managers & Greenkeepers Championship. They qualified for this event by winning the Regional finals at the Kendleshire late in the summer. They were certainly treated to the VIP experience with 18 holes on the Ryder Cup Brabazon Course, 3 course gala dinner and free drinks (which Scottie looked like he took advantage of!) and an overnight stay. They finished in a credible 5th place and Julian also notably won himself a nice bottle of Moet & Chandon champagne by eagling the famous 10th hole.
