“We are delighted Nokia are sponsors of the PGA EuroPro Tour event at Mannings Heath, which we are hosting for the first time, in the company of so many quality courses. Several champions have played at the club. The great Seve Ballesteros drew huge crowds when he played a Pro-Am in 1987, and Gary Player named the 11th hole in his top 18 holes of the world,” says Adam Streeter, general manager of the golf club at Mannings Heath.

“The course design has been influenced by Harry Colt, the great golf course architect responsible for beautiful layouts across the South of England. Colt’s input makes the Waterfall a challenging, but exciting course, which can test even the best of players.”

The event is an opportunity to spot the golf stars of the future and for the ambitious young professionals who are playing to experience the tournament circuit and compete in front of spectators and the media for a significant prize fund.

A two-hour highlights package from each event is broadcast on Sky Sports, and on 98 networks around the world, reaching 400 million homes. In addition, every event is available to watch on demand in high definition on YouTube.

Entry and parking is free of charge, and in the clubhouse there is a bar and a restaurant serving lunch, tea and dinner.
