GolfSixes

It’s all about personality at GolfSixes

GolfSixes is golf… but not as you know it. There will be a whole new experience for players and fans as the revolutionary new short form of golf arrives at Centurion Club in St Albans on May 6-7.

Two-man teams from 16 different nations will compete over six holes with six different personalities, as hosts and celebrity guest commentators keep fans at the venue and at home up to date with the action.

Players from Australia, Belgium, Denmark, England, France, India, Italy, Portugal, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, The Netherlands, USA and Wales will compete against each other for a prize of €1 million as the six-hole circuit winds around an activity-packed fan zone.

The Holes

1. It’s show time

It’s all about the first tee experience, as players walk out to music and pyros. Fans will be gathered in grandstand seating, with big screens at both tee and green

2. Birdies for Good

The European Tour’s charitable initiative takes centre stage, with donations to charity and giveaways for the crowd as birdies are carded on hole two

3. Power

The 525 yard hole three is an opportunity for the players to demonstrate their power as the leader board is transformed into a long drive competition

4. Shot clock

Speed is of the essence with the shot clock counting down from 40 seconds for each shot. There will be a stroke penalty for any breach of time, with digital clocks displayed at the green, fairway and tee

5. Accuracy

This time, it’s about getting closest to the pin for the professionals, while fans can also take in the action from the Jamesons Irish Whisky Bar on hole five

6. Finale

The final hole on the six-hole circuit will feature post-match interviews. On Sunday, any play-offs will tee off from a special tee box, while the trophy presentation will take place on a balcony overlooking the green.
