The Golf Classic 2018 is nearing the final and the excitement and anticipation is palpable. This year’s Grand Final is set to be one of the most competitive with players competing with handicaps ranging from 0 to 20! Held at Slaley Hall, a beautiful Edwardian mansion in Northumberland, the resort’s Hunting Course is a European Tour venue and is known as the ‘Augusta of the North’. Situated in glorious countryside, Slaley Hall is the perfect setting for the finalists to put their golfing prowess to the test!
The Golf Classic is an excellent opportunity for professionals working in the UK construction industry to challenge their golf skills, make friends and forge business contacts which is why players of all abilities return and new entrants participate each year. This year plumbing and heating engineers, builders, architects, and electrical contractors, amongst other trades and professions, were represented.
Congratulations to Spencer Gilbert and Cliff Evans from MAB Commercial Contracts who are through to the final. Cliff and Spencer won their semi-final in what was a very enjoyable game for both teams. “We had a fantastic round of golf, which was close at the end and couldn’t have asked to have played against a better pairing than Ollie and Robert. It made the round a pleasure to play.”
The final takes place on the 28 September and there’s a lot at stake! The winners will take home an impressive trophy and Pro Shop vouchers. There are also prizes for the Runner-up, Nearest the Pin and the Longest Drive. All finalists enjoy a gala dinner, prize giving, and luxury stay at Slaley Hall.
The Golf Classic is proud to receive the continued support of Marley Plumbing & Drainage. This leading manufacturer and supplier of above and below ground drainage has sponsored the tournament since its inception 26 years ago. The tournament is also supported by a wide cross-section of the specialist construction press and media, further proof of its position as a flagship event in the industry’s calendar.
We wish our finalists the very best of luck on the 28th!
