The BPA’s Ryder Cup Warm-Up — a golf day the weather can’t spoil!
The BPA is back in the sporting arena with a fresh new take on the corporate golf day. Join us at Skratch Golf on Ludgate Hill, just off St. Paul’s Square in Birmingham for our Ryder Cup Warm-Up Indoor Golf Tournament.
The date for your diary is Thursday 18 September from Midday to 4:00pm and we are looking for 12 teams of three to compete in the event. Each team can bring along a maximum of two optional non-playing guests. Food with be provided courtesy of Indian Brewery’s pizza menu and everyone attending gets a welcome drink all-in.
As the name suggests, we’ll be taking on a virtual version of the front 9 holes of the infamous Bethpage Black course in Farmington, NY. The scene of this year’s biennial Ryder Cup event. We will be scoring the event using the Stableford points system. More about this on the day.
You are more that welcome to play as many holes of the course as you can fit into the allotted time but the winners will be decided using scores on the front 9 only. We’ll also have Longest Drive and Nearest The Pin challenges along with a few surprises courtesy of Skratch Golf.
Prices are set at £250 per team and guests for BPA members and £275 for non-members. See you on the first tee.
It’s never too early to talk about the ‘C’ word!
