The winner of the 18-hole Heythrop Park event and their partner will enjoy a four-night trip to the United Arab Emirates, including flights, to enjoy the competition and the wonderful hospitality of the emirates.

Two-time European Tour winner Steve Webster was at Heythrop Park Resort recently to officially launch the event by taking part in the Heythrop Challenge. His task was to carry the lake on the 314-yard par-4 sixth hole and stop the ball on the green, something only two previous players had managed. Steve showed his professional talent by pulling it off to win a complementary membership worth £1,250.

"It was a fun day and I was really impressed with the course at Heythrop Park Resort - I think it will make a great venue for the Invitational Qualifier," said Steve.

The qualifying event is open to male and female golfers, aged 18 and above, who hold an official handicap certificate (maximum handicap 18 for men, 28 for ladies).
