Faldo Series continues UK season with England South Championship

The Faldo Series will continue its UK season at Old Fold Manor with 93 players set to compete for the champion title.

On June 16-18 The Faldo Series will resume its UK season when it returns to Old Fold Manor, Barnet.

A full field of 78 boys and 15 girls has already been confirmed for the 54-hole England South Championship.

Sir Nick Faldo has commented, “our South of England Championship was once again heavily oversubscribed and that is a testament to the high number and depth of quality golfers in the region.

“We are excited about returning to Old Fold Manor where there will be a lot to play for with World Amateur Golf Ranking points on offer as well as five spots in the Grand Final.”

“We are delighted to once again host the prestigious Faldo Series,” said Adrian Jackson, Manager of Old Fold Manor Golf Club.

“The staff and members of the Club are looking forward to welcoming some of the country’s top young golfers as they try to qualify for the final at The Greenbrier.”

The field features a number of last year’s finalists and England Internationals including the 2011 Faldo Series Boys’ Under-16 Champion Cameron Long.

The winner of each division – three boys and a girl – plus the girls’ runner-up will join Faldo at the season-ending 18^th Faldo Series Grand Final at The Greenbrier, USA.
