brings the follow up tour to the Tonsley Golf Society's launch
event. The event
will straddle the weekend of 27th - 28th February and will be held at Belmont
Golf Club, Hereford. Two rounds
will be played across a mixture of fourballs and playing stableford formats with
big prizes at stake for the winners. 2010
will see an extended tour list - Belmont Lodge will host the team of 20 in a fantastic
full-board winter package. And, of course, it's all neatly scheduled around the
weekend's Six Nations games! |  |  |
|
But, not ones to dwell on past glories, there's a little 'Tonsley touch' to make
2010 that wee bit different...

| Think
Ryder Cup meets Tonsley Events: |
|
|
| The
Tonsley Cup 2010 |
|
| The
Tonsley Cup is a matchplay competition which will loosely follow a Ryder Cup format. |
|
| Saturday
we will play ‘singles’ where there will be two matches in each fourball.
|
|
| Sunday
we will play ‘fourballs’, where each hole is won by the team whose individual
golfer has the lowest score. Handicaps will be taken into account. |
|
| All
players have been designated a team, Floody and Woolfy’s guests are playing
in the Angels team (captained by Floody) and Rob and Joe’s guests are playing
in the Devils team (captained by Rob). |

| Get
in the Hole Challenge Trophy 2010 |
|
| Whilst
the emphasis will be on the team competition, there will be also be an individual
competition which will run over both Saturday and Sunday rounds based on a combined
‘stableford’ score. | |  |
|
|
In some cases a player might lose a hole in matchplay for the team competition,
but can still gain stableford points for the individual competition – therefore
it's important to ‘hole out’ on each hole to avoid losing valuable points. |
|
| Longest
Drive and Nearest the Pin Competitions |
|
| 
| | Scorecards
will be provided, although this year players will also be treated to the Tonsley
‘live score’ system, where the scores of all
players can be monitored around the course at any given moment.
| We
will also be running the Longest Drive and the Nearest the Pin competitions
on each day. Prizes will be awarded for all competitions. | |  |
And
let's not forget the traditional Tonsley award of the Shiny Trombone (AKA
“Dick of the Day”). | |
