BRITISH PAR 3 CHAMPIONSHIP
EUROPE’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS PAR 3 CHAMPIONSHIP The Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship is one of Britain’s most historic and celebrated golf tournaments, receiving extensive media coverage and huge spectator numbers. Each year, the championship attracts some of the finest tour professionals and golfing legends alike, all competing for the £100,000 prize fund on the testing holes of The Cromwell Course at Nailcote Hall. Hosted by Ryder Cup legend Tony Jacklin CBE, and gathering together some of the world’s greatest players, the event has a similar structure to that of the Dunhill Links Championship. The exciting four day event includes two glamorous Celeb-Am days with a Pro-Am tournament where amateurs get the chance to compete alongside professionals as they battle it out to be named 2014 Farmfoods British Par 3 Champion. Attracting 5,000 spectators through the gates and enjoying full broadcast coverage on Sky Sports and Challenge TV, the Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship provides our partner organisations with an unrivalled opportunity for brand exposure to a highly select group of business leaders, executives, leading golf professionals and golf enthusiasts. “Undoubtedly better than the Masters Par 3” - Brian Barnes Don’t let the picturesque views of the winding Warwickshire lanes that surround Nailcote Hall lead you astray: this is a tough and challenging course that requires consummate skill and concentration to succeed. The roll-call of past champions at Nailcote Hall is a tribute to the magic of the course’s famed lay-out: Robert Rock, Carl Mason, Mark Mouland and 2012 champion DJ Russell are just some of the proven winners who have taken home the prize over the years. The golf isn’t the only draw to the Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship. Famed for its sense of fun, the atmosphere around the tournament has been described as “the perfect golfing garden party!” With a luxurious and stylish tented village providing a showcase for luxury brands of all kinds, including Moet & Chandon Champagne, leading clothing brands, cosmetics and much more, the Championship has something special for the non-golfer.

TONY JACKLIN CBE A pioneering superstar, nobody has been more instrumental in the development of golf in Europe than Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship host Tony Jacklin CBE. The golfing landscape was very different when Tony Jacklin holed the winning putt in the 1969 Open Championship, there was no European Tour and perhaps even more remarkable, in a period of massive US and Australian dominance. Max Faulkner was the last British player who won The Open Championship, 18 years previously. All that was about to change, and the world of golf would never be the same again. Young, courageous and immensely talented, Jacklin held off an incredible field that included Jack Nicklaus, Peter Thomson, Bob Charles and Roberto Di Vicenzo among many more. By lifting the Claret Jug in 1969, Jacklin single-handedly inspired the most talented generation of European golfers. Faldo, Woosnam, Lyle, Langer and Ballesteros quite simply couldn’t have achieved what they did if it wasn’t for this truly momentous win and Jacklin’s inspiration. Jacklin wasn’t finished though. The following season, he continued his history-making streak when he won his second major title by taking the U.S. Open Championship by seven strokes on a weather-beaten Hazeltine National Golf Club course. By doing so, Jacklin became the first British player to win the Championship since Ted Ray in 1920 and he remained the only European player to have won the Championship until 2010, when Graeme McDowell ended the streak. During the 1980s, Jacklin extended his achievements as a player into his role as captain of the European Ryder Cup team. It is no exaggeration to say that without Jacklin, the Ryder Cup, as we know it, wouldn’t exist. By restoring pride in the locker room and radically professionalising the whole approach taken to the event, he led the Europeans to a landmark victory in 1985 at The Belfry, their first for 28 years. In 1987, Jacklin’s team went even further, achieving something that had never been done previously by beating the Americans on their own home soil at Muirfield Village in Ohio.
However, as the event approaches its climax and cheers are ringing around the spectators in the grandstands, seasoned golf fans and novices alike will find the action truly irresistible. Most importantly the impact in involvement with the Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship will have on your brand, offers you a real and lasting benefit.
