2020protour v Yorkshire Men’s Team
A tantalising prospect beckons!
Come along and join the spectators when a strong 12-man 2020protour team face off with the highly successful
Yorkshire Men’s team in a challenge match to be played at Rotherham GC. Prior to the season getting underway,
Monday 9 April will see two talent-packed teams go head to head in a potentially thrilling day of matches.
Chris Hanson and Adam Walker, co-founders of the 2020protour (and both former Yorkshire players) have put together an impressive line up of 2020protour professionals, all of whom have seen various levels of success on tour, Challenge Tour and DP World Tour included, their names being familiar to most golf watchers.
The format for the day is six fourball betterball matches, all playing out for the full 18 holes to achieve an aggregate result.
The line-up is:
Match 1: Adam Walker/George Mason v. Tom Osborne/Charlie Daughtrey
Match 2: George Ash/Josh Berry v. Jake Sowden/Aaron Brettell
Match 3: Dan Brown/John Parry v. Ben Brown/Lucas Martin
Match 4: Simon Dyson/Chris Hanson v. George Hanson/Jack Northgraves
Match 5: Jigger Thomson/Joe Dean v. George Heath/Jake Wallis
Match 6: Nick Marsh/Marco Penge v. Dan Thomas/Ollie Smith
It won’t go unnoticed that a couple of the matches may have some family rivalries at play, where pro Dan Brown will face his younger brother Ben, and pro Chris Hanson
similarly plays his nephew, George!
The first match tees off at 11am and spectators are very much welcomed to come along and watch some of the finest golfing talent around.
