Powerplay Golf Comes to Druids Glen Resort
POWERPLAY GOLF is coming to Druids Glen Resort. In conjunction with The Irish Times PowerPlay Golf is hosting the Big PowerPlay at The Heath Course at Druids Glen Resort on Tuesday 20th September 2011.
The sensational Druids Heath championship golf course, designed by Pat Ruddy, opened in 2003 and was very soon described as ‘Nature’s gift to golf’ by golfing media. This heathland course with strong links influences weaves its way around quarries, trees, gorse, lakes and pot bunkers, all with a backdrop of mountains, sea and rolling Irish countryside. Venue for the 2006 Irish PGA Championship, Druids Heath has played host to many leading Tour Players including double US Open Champion Retief Goosen, Sergio Garcia, Darren Clarke and Ian Poulter. With the front nine overlooking the Irish Sea and the back nine nestled in the Wicklow Mountains, it has one of the world’s longest Par 3s, and the constant sea breeze calls for shot-making skills and imagination from any golfer.
What is PowerPlay Golf? It is a 9-hole golfing format in which players choose to aim for one of the two flags on the green - a White Flag and a Black "PowerPlay" Flag. Golfers have limited PowerPlays, and score extra points for net birdie or better, when playing to the Black Flag. Vey Exciting! Tour superstar, Graeme McDowell, is an ambassador for PowerPlay Golf, making it one of this years' big golf talking points.
The Big PowerPlay entry is €95.00 for a team of 2 and will include goodies, a bite to eat and prizes. You can enter your team online at www.powerplay-golf.com/irish-times2011 or call Rob Hill @ 01 2810338.
