It is a scratch, 18-hole stroke play competition with men and women competing against each other and all must have won their respective club championships in 2022. The course will be set up specifically for the event so the total yardage for male club champions is exactly 15% longer than the women’s course.
When and where…
Hurlston Hall near Ormskirk is hosting the North West Club Champions Invitational on Monday, July 10th, 2023 with the winner earning a place in the prestigious North West PGA Masters later in the week (July 12-14). Also played at Hurlston Hall, it is a 54-hole stroke play event that has invitation-only spaces available for a small number of amateur players and we have one to give away as the main prize.
