Entry deadline: Monday April 21
Entries are now open for the Northern Golfer Match Play Pairs tournament in partnership with Albatross Golf Holidays & Events.
The 2025 prize package has once again been enhanced by Albatross – run by North East-based PGA professionals Andrew Scrimshaw and Martyn Jobling – with this season’s winners set to receive an invitation to compete in one of Albatross’ pairs events in 2026 free of charge* along with £600 in prize vouchers. The runners up will meanwhile receive prize vouchers worth £100.
The 24th Match Play Pairs tournament will see pairs of golfers compete in fourball betterball knock-out matches throughout the season at some of our region’s best venues.
The entry fee remains £30 per pair, with the final set to take place in September.
As well as receiving their prize package, the winners will appear in Northern Golfer magazine and earn a place in the region’s golfing history books.
Albatross, which was created in 2018 to host pro ams and amateur events at some of the best courses in the UK and around the world, was relaunched as Albatross Golf Holidays & Events in October 2023 and today offers a full golf travel service catering to all golfers’ needs, working with tried and tested destinations across the globe.
“Continuing our partnership with Northern Golfer on the Match Play Pairs was the perfect way to support golf in our local area, and be part of a tournament with a fantastic legacy – with winners coming from clubs right across the region,” said Martyn.
“Our business is all about golf travel by the professionals,” added Andrew. “When we were looking at how to get that message out, and share that we offer a complete package for every golfer’s needs – from relaxed breaks for small groups to tournament experiences on the world’s best courses – the partnership with Northern Golfer was our top priority and we’re delighted to continue that into 2025.”
