At least 40 of New Zealand's top professional golfers are expected to line up in the 2014 Pin High Craigs Investment Wanganui Pro Am tournament next month.
The popular annual tournament is a New Zealand PGA-sanctioned event hosted by the Wanganui Golf Club at the Belmont links and will be played over two days - September 19 and 20.
The organising committee, with the club, has invited all Wanganui Golf Club members to enter a team of three amateur players. Individuals keen to play will be assigned a team.
This is a team event, with each team comprising three amateurs, to be joined by one professional. Maximum official NZGA handicaps permitted for entry are 30 for men and 36 for women. The women will play off the women's tees.
The team competition will be played over two rounds. The format will be the best three Stableford scores (including those of the professional) to count on each hole. The professionals will be playing for $20,000 prize money, and amateurs for a comprehensive prize table for the team competition.
