A SEVEN day all inclusive trip to Turkey is on offer for the team who wins the brand new three day Lakes Festival amateur golf competition.

Windermere, Carus Green and Kirkby Lonsdale Golf Clubs' will host the event between June 12-14.

The four person amateur team competition, which can comprise all men/ladies or mixed, will be played in a stableford format.

Interest in the competition is already mounting, with the first prize being a golf holiday to Turkey.

Bilyana Golf Holidays are the title sponsor for the event and the first prize is a seven day all inclusive hotel package with three rounds of golf for the winning team.

“Bilyana Golf Holidays are the specialists in golf holidays in Turkey and we pride ourselves on our personal approach to our clients," said Steve Nicholson, sales and marketing Manager for Bilyana Golf Holidays.

"We are the only company that has a guest relation team on the ground in Turkey to help our clients have the best experience possible. To be the title sponsor for the Lakes Festival is a great privilege and I will be present at the event, for all three days, to speak to anyone that has an interest in experiencing golf in Turkey."

Simon Edwards, head professional at Windermere Golf Club, said: “We are very much looking forward to this event and would like it to be as inclusive as possible, so the make-up of the teams can be any combination of men and ladies.

“The teams can choose their tee times on Friday and Saturday. The final round will be drawn in score order with the leaders out last. This will add pressure to the event, as being in the last few groups at any tournament is a great thrill!

"One day Am Am events are much more frequently held, so this three day event is very rare. It’s also unusual to find three quality golf courses involved in a competition of this kind and we are delighted that both Carus Green and Kirkby Lonsdale will be hosting this with us."
