***Tee off in Taba this November at the International ProAm 2010***
20 April 2010
Longwood Holidays is proud to be the official UK Travel Partner for the Taba Heights International Pro Am taking place this November.
The Taba Heights 18-hole championship golf course, developed by the world’s best architects, is arguably the most beautiful golf course in Egypt, and for the fourth consecutive year will be holding an International Pro Am. The cornerstone event of the Taba Heights golf calendar, this year the Pro-Am is set to be the biggest yet.
Taking advantage of the resort's year-round sunny climate and picturesque location beside the mountain ranges of the Sinai Peninsula, the 54 hole event will run for 3 days from the 11th to 13th November 2010. ProAm 2010 is expected to attract a great social mix of both professionals and amateurs, as teams will be made up of three non-professional participants plus one golf professional.
“At Longwood Holidays we are very proud to have been chosen for the third year running to organise travel arrangements from the UK for ProAm 2010”, said Dan Lion, Longwood’s Golf Product Manager. “The 2009 event was more successful than we had ever anticipated and was completely sold out by mid September. Due to its popularity we already have a large number of advance registrations from last years’ participants, so anyone wishing to take part this year should book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment”, continued Lion.
From as little as £949 per person amateur golfers can enjoy the luxury of 7 nights’ accommodation in a 5* hotel of their choice, return flights with transfers, tournament entry, unlimited golf practice, players’ BBQ, Gala dinner event and more.
There is also plenty to do for non-golfers in the luxury resort of Taba Heights. It has 5km of natural beaches and provides access to some of the world’s best dive and snorkelling sites.
