Ever wanted to compare your skills with a European Tour winner or a Walker or Ryder Cup player? Well, here’s your chance.

According to Shaun McBride, the Director of Golf for Single Figure Golfer, you can win the chance play under former Walker Cup skipper Peter McEvoy in a 10-strong amateur side against a team of former Ryder Cup, Walker Cup and Solheim Cup stars.

Team Single Figure Golfer (SFG) will take on stars Alison Nicholas, Gordon Brand Jnr, Steve Richardson, Roger Chapman, Philip Walton, John McHenry, Paul Way, Gordon Brand Snr, Joanne Morley, Jeremy Robinson and John Hawksworth in the two-day SGF Challenge Cup final at Trevose Golf Club in Cornwall in October this year.

Four single figure Irish golfers will have the opportunity to be part of this team and follow up on the amateur team’s success at the Celtic Manor Resort last October.

Single Figure Golfer has created a qualifying process which gives single figure golfers from all parts of Ireland the opportunity to be part of this team.

A series of regional tours will lead to a Regional final in May were the winner and runner up will secure their places on the team.

In Dublin, qualifying starts at Portmarnock Links on Tuesday 9th March and will run for the following five weeks.  Each event carries ranking points on the Dublin mini tour.  The top 10 in the order of merit on this mini tour will qualify for the Irish Final in May.
