SEVE DAY FINAL - Berry invited to national final after Disabled British Open win
 |
| Alasdair Berry receiving the Disabled British Open Trophy earlier this year |
The Seve Day final at The Belfry is tthe culmination of a season long event, with the finalists having the chance to follow in the footsteps of Seve and many other golfing legends as well as winning a trip to the US Masters.
From all the scores submitted over the season, the top 72 have been invited to attend the celebrity packed grand final at The Belfry, to compete for the top prize of a trip to the 2013 US Masters.
The finalists will be teeing up on the legendary Brabazon Course, which has played host to a record four Ryder Cups, and where Seve famously drove the green at the 10th in 1985 as the European team recorded their first ever win.
All finalists will be invited to a welcome breakfast before taking to the course, and at the end of the day a gala dinner will be held to announce the winner of Seve Day 2012.
Overnight accommodation at The Belfry is also included for all finalists in what promises to be a fantastic event to honour Seve Ballesteros and his legacy.
Following the one-year anniversary of the legendary Spaniard's death, a European-wide tournament has been set-up by YourGolfTravel.com in partnership with the Seve Ballesteros Foundation and Cancer Research UK to raise funds for both charities.
Celebrities such as Harry Redknapp Ian Wright, Kevin Keegan, Sir Clive Woodward, Michael Vaughan and Chris Eubank will be taking part in the event.
Organiser Ross Marshall added: 'Seve Day is a great way for us to celebrate the life of Seve, raise money for a great cause and play in a tournament where you have to take risks and play like the great man himself in order to shoot low and qualify for the grand Seve Day final.
A host of top golf stars have also pledged their support with Justin Rose and Ian Poulter both signing up to Seve Day.
Rose said: 'Seve has been a hero to me all my life. Seve's style of play continues to inspire me, and golfers all over the world, but there will never be another Seve.'

(The following report is courtesy of Gerry Smith)
The members at the first competition of the season at
Dundonald met an excellent course albeit the weather was not kind to the early
tee off players.
In the Professional Rank
Mark Loftus (Mearns Castle)
round of 76 was produced in the most testing part of the day’s play.
The later
players benefited from improving conditions with Matthew Burt 75, Last years
Order of Merit winner Graham Fox 74, Craig Mathieson 73 and particularly
Stephen Gray 71 being the winner on the day.
It was a particularly
disappointing day for the home players Ian Colquhoun 86 and David -Ross Nicol
81.
The amateur winner was Tom McGill (Glasgow G.C) with an
82-6 = 76. Tom has recently had a new hip after many years struggling on the
Ayrshire links and is now getting the benefit of the new limb.
Best scratch

with a handicap of +3 giving him also net 76.
The Ayrshire Winter Golf next fixture is at Western
Gailes on the 14th Nov.
