888poker.com PGA EuroPro Tour Director of Operations Daniel Godding said: “Astbury Hall is a tough, fantastically designed and well laid out golf course. I see it as part of the future of the 888poker.com PGA EuroPro Tour. We are striving to improve every aspect of the tour and bringing it to golf courses such as Astbury Hall is integral to that.
“I am very much looking forward to the tournament. We have already had excellent feedback from our golfers, who have been impressed with the course and the condition it is being presented to them in. The spectacular par-three 18th will make an excellent finishing hole in front of the clubhouse.
“The tournament will be filmed for a highlights programme on Sky Sports and hopefully as many local people as possible will come down and get the chance to see the future stars of European golf in action.”
