We make no apology for majoring on the British Masters in this issue with the mouth-watering prospect of some of the world’s best golfers on display.
Lee Westwood and the team at Close House deserve immense credit for putting together such a strong field. Having visited the venue and seen the preparations we’re sure a warm North East welcome, fabulous facilities and a challenging course awaits.
There are far too few top class events held in the North of England - particularly the North East and Yorkshire - despite courses to match any in the UK.
Let’s hope for good weather and huge crowds. We have an opportunity to show top players and TV viewers just how passionate we are about sport and hopefully nudge the organisers of these top events to consider hosting more in the region.
It is also pleasing to see juniors having an opportunity to play in their own tournament....
