The Ryder Cup |
With a little over a year to go before Wales proudly plays host to the 2010 Ryder Cup, the preparations are already at an advanced stage, according to the organizers. From October 1-3, 2009, the renowned Celtic Manor Resort on the outskirts of Newport in South Wales will welcome the best golfers from Europe and the US, as they compete for one of the biggest prizes in world sport.
Carol Maddison, Marketing Manager - VisitBritain, UAE, said, "For those intending to travel to the Ryder Cup 2010, there are a range of wonderful golf courses within a two hour drive of Celtic Manor. From the challenging links at world-famous Royal Porthcawl to the beautiful setting of St Pierre Hotel & Country Club, golfers will be spoilt for choice in one of the most naturally beautiful areas of Britain."
Other courses that will appeal to visitors include The Glamorganshire Golf Club, Ashburnham Golf Club, and Tenby Golf Club situated on the Pembrokeshire coast. An important element of every Ryder Cup is the legacy that the tournament leaves behind for future generations of golfers. Over 200 new golf holes will be created across Wales in the coming years, benefitting local communities and encouraging greater participation in golf for years to come.
