The Numark British Par 3 Championship
Two time major champion and 4 time Ryder Cup Captain, Tony Jacklin CBE is making a first appearance in The British Par 3 Championship at Nailcote Hall from August 4th to 7th this year.
Nailcote Hall, 4 - 7 August, 2008
The Championship is celebrating the 75th Anniversary of its’ inaugural event at the Palace Hotel, Torquay in 1933 where it was played until 1973.
Many of golf’s greatest players including Harry Vardon, Alex Herd, James Braid, Charlie Ward, Percy Alliss and Abe Mitchell, launched the event back in 1933 and it is really fitting that Tony Jacklin is able to join the Championship’s special celebrations this year.
Rick Cressman, Nailcote Hall’s owner said, “Tony Jacklin was my golfing boyhood hero and I am thrilled to bits that he is following in another legend’s footsteps here at Nailcote Hall - Max Faulkner who was his predecessor as a British Open Champion. Max loved playing at Nailcote and I hope Tony really enjoys the challenges our course presents”.
On the 4th August a special gala dinner will be held honouring senior tour star, Tommy Horton after a Celebrity-Am team event. On the 7th August a charity fund raising dinner will follow a team Celebrity-Am competition with many sporting heroes, including Peter Schmeicel, Peter Shilton, Willie Thorne to name just a few and stars of TV including Coronation Street legend, William Roache.
On the 5th- 6th August, The Numark British Par 3 Championship Pro-Am will test the pro’s and their amateur partners over 36 holes around the Cromwell Course to find the 75th Anniversary Champions
