GLENMUIR SUPPORTS NEW NATIONAL 4-BALL COMPETITION

Glenmuir, one of Europe’s leading golf apparel brands, has pledged its support to a new nationwide 4-ball better ball competition.

The 4bbb.co.uk Challenge sees pairs of golfers competing locally throughout the country at 100 open events before progressing to 10 regional finals at some of the UK’s best courses – including The Belfry Brabazon, Woodhall Spa, The Carrick, Saunton and The London Club.

A Grand Final will then take place at Royal Lytham St Anne’s in October, with Glenmuir providing a free shirt to all the finalists, who are competing for the overall main prize of a 5* golf holiday at La Manga.

Announcing Glenmuir’s affiliation, marketing director Brian Mair said: "The 4-ball better ball Stableford format is hugely popular among amateur golfers and this is a fantastic new competition with some superb prizes.

“The 4bbb.co.uk Challenge gives golfers with official handicaps the opportunity to play at some of the UK’s most prestigious courses and we’re delighted to be associated with the event.”

In the competition, the top four teams from each local open event will progress to the regional finals, with the top four pairs again making it through to the final which will be played on the 2012 Open Championship layout at Royal Lytham.

A full list of Open events and regional finals, together with entry rules and prices can be found at www.4bbb.co.uk.

Glenmuir’s new Spring/Summer 2012 catalogue features more than 130 products for Men, Lady and Junior golfers.

Fashion, styling, colour and performance are at the heart of the product range development, with two brand new contemporary colour palettes – Provence (blacks, winter whites, purple and pink); Antigua (navy, blue and white).
