The British Par 3 Championship: Is this the most fun event in golf?

Published:

Here are 11 good reasons which suggests that the Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship at Nailcote Hall, Warwicks, on August 11-14th is just that…

*It’s a chance to get up close and personal with the professionals and even a number of golfing legends.

* It is a rare opportunity to see the male and female golfers compete against each other.

*Because it’s a short course, you can see every single shot played by the likes of Tony Jacklin and Paul Lawrie.

*And you’ll quickly discover how critical the short game, and the ability to get up and down from around the green, is.

*Although the pros will be battling it out for a slice of the £100,000 prize fund, it’s generally lighthearted and great fun – how golf should be.

*You’ll be watching the stars of tomorrow: last year’s title was won by Eddie Pepperell who has performed with distinction on the European Tour this season.

*Autograph hunters will have a ball: there’s loads of celebrities in action including Damon Hill, Peter Schmeichel and former England cricket captain Allan Lamb.

*According to veteran Brian Barnes, Nailcote Hall’s tricky Cromwell course is “Better than the Masters Par 3 Course!”

*You can take a break from the golf by checking out the goodies in the mini Tented Village.

*There’s a good chance you’ll later spot yourself on TV – the event is being covered by Sky TV cameras.
