Win a round at St. Andrews in Westport Open AmAm 2022

The Westport Golf Club Open AmAm 2022 , now open for entries, offers a unique opportunity to win a once in a lifetime trip to St. Andrews in Scotland to play at the 'Home of Golf' with two nights accommodation.

Nine other green fee prizes at top rated Irish courses are on offer as well.

This is an AmAm with a difference – your team can qualify for the Westport Open AmAm Champions Final on September 2 next by playing on your home golf course or any course of your choice between May 1 and July 31.

The top 20 teams who qualify for the Westport Open AmAm Champions Final will compete for the top 10 prizes at the renowned championship golf course in Westport.

Teams of four, from anywhere in the UK or Ireland can enter. The Westport Open AmAm 2022 competition is now open.

Register your team at https://www.westportgolfclub.ie/westportamam2022

Entry fee is €200 per team.

This Westport Golf Club fundraising event will generate funds which will be ring fenced to convert our current greens to sand-based greens over the next number of years.

Speaking at the official launch, Westport Golf Club Captain, Tom Mulqueen, stated: “This will be an AmAm with a difference - qualifying teams will register their team online, play on their home course or any course of their choice between May and July 2022 and then upload their signed scorecard to our website.

“The prizes on offer are outstanding and we would hope to attract golfers from all over the UK and Ireland to play.

“In recent years golf has become the sport of choice for so many young amateur golfers both male and female, it’s one of the more positive side effects of Covid 19.”

Westport Golf Club Ladies Captain, Abina O’Flynn, added: “It’s an ambitious fundraising project for the club - the prizes are fabulous, but the real beauty about this AmAm is that teams can qualify by playing on their own home golf course or a course of their choice. All for €200 per team of four.”
