The International Kings Cup is a fantastic opportunity for all your members to win a place on to the Irish Team to take on the USA. Due to the success of the 2016 event I was asked to take the qualifiers across the island of Ireland and that is what I’ve done.
The event is for male golfers and is unique in that is has two age brackets 18+ & Seniors 50+ but also has four flights of handicap so anyone who has a GUI handicap can enter.
For each pair that makes it through the two qualifying stages and on to the team we will
- Provide 4 night’s accommodation bed & breakfast at the beautiful Lough Erne Resort
- Provide a Glenmuir Uniform for each day of the match-play tournament
- 4 Rounds of Golf on The Faldo Course – Practice round and 3 tournament days
- Team members will get to attend the Gala Opening & Closing Dinners
This year the format for the qualifiers will be pairs betterball. Half of combined handicap will distinguish which flight the pairs team will play under
Flight Handicaps:
| Championship | 4.9 or less | |
| A Flight | 5.0 | 9.9 |
| B Flight | 10.0 | 14.9 |
| C Flight | 15.0 and above |
