Dr. Kershaw’s Hospice Golf Classic
Worsely Park Marriott
Tuesday 2nd October 2012
Gluegunsdirect.com are hosting the 6th Dr. Kershaw’s Golf Classic to be staged at the Worsley Park, Marriott Golf Course on Tuesday 2nd October 2012, playing for the prestigious Frank Kenyon Challenge Trophy and also raising much needed funds for the Hospice. After successful previous events held at Manchester Golf Club (2), Mere Golf Club (2) and Shringley Hall, the event moves to Worsley Park for 2012. The Championship course at Worsley Park measures 6611 yards with a challenging par of 71 and was opened in 1999. Designed by European Golf Design’s Ross McMurray in association with former Ryder Cup player Michael King it has played host to numerous notable events including several events on the Europro Tour and most recently the Challenge Tour.
Worsley’s Championship course is widely regarded as one of the finest inland courses in the North of England and came in for particular praise from Golf World magazine who suggested that the architects had excelled themselves by ‘transforming a nondescript piece of farmland in to a thing of wonder…’ ‘It’s visually interesting, exciting to play and full of movement with holes that embrace both the heroic and delightful,’ the impressed writer added. The course is built around eight lakes and indigenous water features, many of which come into play during the course of the round. Its toughest holes are probably the 3rd, 8th and 13th while the signature 7th hole is a delightful 177-yard par-3 which plays over a small lake to an undulating green guarded by a brook.
