Gulf Air Pro Captain Challenge in Bahrain

Environmental Turf Technology are delighted to announce that we will be entering a team of Turf Managers into The Gulf Air Pro Captain Challenge in Bahrain.

The team of three will be decided at a qualifying event at The Belfry on the 20th August. This qualifier will take place on the world renowned Brabazon Course and will be a relaxed occasion, so win or lose everyone has a day to remember. The qualifier will be divided into three handicaps 1-9, 10-18 and 19+.

"The Belfry is a world-renowned golf and leisure resort set in over 550 acres of stunning countryside in the Heart of England. It provides golfers with a unique facility to indulge their passion for the sport. Host of more Ryder Cup matches than any other venue and home to the Quinn Insurance British Masters, The Brabazon course allows players to walk in the foot steps of legends. The 324-room resort offers an impressive range of on-site facilities: Five bars and restaurants - including fine dining at The French Restaurant; the ever-popular Bel Air nightclub; an indulgent spa for mind and body; extensive gym and leisure provisions and the largest golf and lifestyle resort shop in Europe."

The winning competitors in each category will fly to Bahrain from Heathrow, to play for the Environmental Turf Technology team at The Royal Golf Club in Bahrain. The trip to Bahrain will be in the last week of October, the perfect time to get a few days of desert sun before the onset of winter.

The Montgomerie Course

International golfing legend Colin Montgomerie is responsible for the magnificent design of the 18-hole, par 72 championship golf course at the Royal Golf Club.

The eight- time European Order of Merit winner, affectionately known as Monty, first visited the island in 2006. After carefully studying the topography and prevailing weather conditions of the site, and using his years of experience playing top golf courses around the globe, Monty and his associates from European Golf Design produced an inspiring plan.

The new Montgomerie course offers a truly unique blend of links and desert golf, taking advantage of Bahrain's natural rough desert terrain and combining it with vast manmade lakes. The desert feel is retained through the use of sandy waste bunkers and the attractive indigenous vegetation and grasses used in the landscaping. However, the rolling links-style fairways and undulating greens are immaculately maintained. With five teeing ground options on each hole and a perfect layout for shot makers and strategic players, the Montgomerie course delivers a challenging and unforgettable experience.
