Forest Pines plays host to the first SFG / PowerPlay Golf event on Thursday 19th August.
The 2010 Single Figure Golfer Challenge Tour is now in full swing, were golfers around the country seek to secure their place at Q-School before the grand final at Cornwall’s Trevose Golf Resort on the 18th – 20th October.
At Q Hotels’ Forest Pines Hotel & Golf Resort, participants will discover a 27-hole golf course meandering through majestic pines and into open heathland. Three challenging and beautiful loops of nine holes await those that play on Thursday 19th August – yet arguably the most exciting aspect of this SFG Order of Merit ‘silver’ event qualifier is the tournament format.
Players will initially compete in a medal event over 18 holes on the Pines and Beeches loops.
The top 20 players making the cut to play an additional 9-hole medal on the Forest loop.
Players not making the cut will take part in an exciting 9-hole PowerPlay Golf event on Beeches – a unique and enthralling format where players elect to play to one of two flags on every green. Extra stableford points are on offer at the holes where a ‘PowerPlay’ is nominated, although players attacking the Black Flag will find pin positions that are either hard to reach or in areas of the green with severe breaks to read.
