Bahamas beckons for Nick and Bryn
A GOLF trip of a lifetime to the Bahamas awaits amateur Nick Jelley and his Kibworth PGA professional Bryn Morris if they can come through the regional final of the Virgin Atlantic PGA National Pro-Am Championship.
The tournament, which draws in more than 50,000 competitors from across Great Britain and Ireland, is in its 26th year.
Jelley took his first big step towards a luxury six-day trip to the island of Grand Exuma in November, when he won his club qualifying competition with a score of 38 points.
He and Morris now advance to Little Aston Golf Club on Wednesday, June 9, one of 16 regional finals, where they will play one round of better-ball medal play.
The winning professional in the regional final receives 500, and there are valuable prizes for the top amateurs.
The winners at each regional final throughout Great Britain and Ireland will secure their place on board a Virgin Atlantic jet for the exotic trip and the chance to compete in the Grand Final held on the Greg Norman-designed course at Emerald Reef Golf Club, part of the Sandals Emerald Bay Resort.
The PGA National Pro-Am Championship has a prize fund of 30,000, with the winning professional at the Grand Final taking home a cheque for 5,000.
Nick Jelley, is a 45-year-old sales manager from Arnesby. He has been playing golf for 20 years and plays off a handicap of eight.
Bryn Morris, 46, has been a professional at Kibworth for two years.
