NEWS: Special Slaley offer

The Dave Thomas-designed Hunting Course at Slaley Hall will host the De Vere Collection PGA Seniors Championship for the first time from August 21-24 and Carl Mason will defend the title that he picked up at The Stoke By Nayland Club last year.

Former Ryder Cup skipper Sam Torrance, a winner of this title in 2005 and 2006, will also be teeing it up along with fellow Ryder Cup players Costantino Rocca and Gordon Brand Junior.

The par-72 course is a magnificent rolling moorland course which is decorated by a number of streams, lakes and banks of rhododendrons. Slaley Hall also boasts the Priestman Course on the west side of the estate, designed by Neil Coles, which offers stunning views of the Tyne Valley.

Spectators can take advantage of a 2-for-1 offer on all bookings made before August 1st and tickets can be bought by calling 01675 477812. Alternatively a flyer can be downloaded by logging onto the PGA Tournaments’ News section on www.pga.info.

Anyone who books tickets in advance will not only receive a free copy of the official programme but will also be entered into a prize draw to win hospitality for four people on either the Saturday (23rd August) or Sunday (24th August).
