\n\t\tWelcome to this month's Featured Events. April is the month of the US Masters, and Spring has sprung in Europe, so those golf clubs will be being dusted off, and time to leave the cold driving range behind and start playing proper Golf once more.
\n
\nWe now have a Facebook Page where we will be sharing updates and details of featured events - https:\/\/facebook.com\/opengolfevents<\/a> - Please join us there.
\n
\nThe eagle eyed among you might have spotted we now have some Sponsor adverts. This is just one of the small ways we hope to fund the site - we've tried to keep them fairly inobtrusive. If you're interested in sponsoring or having any of your own events promoted, do drop me an email!

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIf you're in Spain, and you love the Masters, then this may be for you. Not cheap at \u20ac350, but promises to be a great experience. Only 4 places left at the time of writing. This is a tribute tournament inspired by the most iconic tournament in the world, the Masters at Augusta. A unique opportunity to experience golf at the highest level, featuring a specially prepared course for the day and a level of service never before seen at an open tournament in Spain.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

The layout combines the landscape's natural contours with strategic design elements to create visual interest and varying difficulty throughout the round. They have recently uploaded pictures to our website, and it looks stunning. Entry fee for their first open event of the season is \u00a330.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tEver fancied playing with the Pros in an actual tournament? Well you can. You'll need to dig deep to afford it, but you only live once! And Costa Navarino is a fantastic resort with 4 top quality golf courses, so why not make it into a full-on holiday. Over the course of the event, amateurs compete in Stableford competition rounds played alongside two Legends Tour professionals who are competing in their own senior tour tournament. This format provides an authentic insight into the rhythm of professional tournament golf, from practice facilities and championship course conditions to the pace and structure of competitive play. The leading 15 amateurs progress to a final round, where they compete to be crowned Leading Amateur of the tournament, with the winner presented on the 18th green as part of the official prize ceremony.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSunningdale! Expensive? Yes. Exclusive? For sure. Worth it? You bet. My first ever event I played with the Global Amateur Golf Tour was here in 2011, and it cost me thousands because I fell in love with both Sunningdale and the Global Amateur Golf Tour and have been coming back to both multiple times ever since. Sunningdale always seems to destroy my golf game, but it is so good and devastatingly beautiful that I have to keep coming back. You'll be light of foot there once you've removed the necessary \u00a3750 from your wallet to pay for it, though!\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

Update from the Engine Room<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\tAs well as the laborious job of refining and checking our data (fortunately with much help from the ever-eager Claude), we've been adding some tidy new features:

    \n
  • Course Follow\/unfollow button. By following your favourite courses, you get to be one of the first to hear about any new events held there.\n<\/li>
  • Add to Calendar button. All events now can easily be added to your calendar with just a couple of clicks.\n<\/li>
  • Login with Google. To make it even easier for people to set up an account, we now support logging in with Google.\n<\/li>
  • Search courses by Architect. We've now done a first pass at cataloguing the architects of each course in our database, so you can search for all courses by Architect. Make sure you check out all the courses designed by Alister MacKenzie in the UK for example!\n<\/ul>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
