Masters Par 3 competition kicks off a week today

The Masters kicks off one week today with the famous Masters Par 3 Competition. It's a fun event for the pros, and their caddies get the afternoon off. This is what our friends at Gleneagles are doing in honour of this event.

Gleneagles are hosting their own Gleneagles Par 3 competition on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 April. It will be 9 holes with a beat the pro competition and prizes awarded for the best scores at the end of the two days.

It’s open to all to enter and will be a Stableford competition with prizes awarded at the end of the second day of competition (don’t worry, they can send the prizes on). £10 per person to enter and you can collect your scorecards from one of their Professionals on the first tee.

From 1 to 30 April 2016, you can enjoy a round of golf for two people on any of their three Championship Course from only £130.

We’d say that’s pretty good value for the quality of golf on offer.
