His Excellency Lieutenant Governor Mr Adam Wood will play in the third and final round of this year’s MBL Financial sponsored KHG Funds Senior Open golf tournament. The Lieutenant Governor is a keen golfer and his appearance in final round at Ramsey Golf Club on September 4 will be the second time he has taken part in the Island’s premier seniors event. Following the final round there is a buffet and prize presentation. Douglas Golf Course hosts the opening round on July 3 – the second round is at Rowany Golf Club on August 7.

This year the tournament is being sponsored by MBL Financial, and the company’s Sales Director Matty Evans commented:

“We’re delighted that His Excellency has kindly accepted the invitation to play in the Senior Open and continue his support for the tournament. His participation will add to the sense of occasion and reflects the prestige associated with the Island’s leading seniors event. The Senior Open gets bigger and better each year and we’re looking forward to three great days of golf this summer.”

The Senior Open is run on a four-ball format and split into two categories – Seniors (aged 50-64) and Super Seniors (65+). Excellent prizes are on offer to the winners across both age groups, and an addition this year is a separate award for the best overall ladies’ score. There’s still time to sign-up for the tournament – and thanks to the generosity of MBL Financial it only costs ?60 per head which includes green fees, refreshments at each event, and the buffet after the final round. To enter, phone Christine Novak on 01624 653800.
