The leading players from the UK Finals will receive an invite to compete in the Grand Finals of the HowDidiDo National Matchplay Championships to be held in Vilamoura on the Algarve.
The invite includes flights, car hire, accommodation and five rounds of golf on the championship courses to contest the titles. The week ends with a Prize Presentation Dinner.
The tournament complies with all R&A regulations. After the closing date of 10th May 2010, competitors will receive a copy of the draw, stating whether they are playing home or away. The knockout stages will take place between June and September on a regional basis to minimise travelling. Competitors need only win four matches to qualify for the UK Finals which will be held at selected Macdonald venues across the UK in October before leading singles players and better ball teams head for the Grand Finals in Portugal.
