Poker And Golf Go Hand In Hand

Sometimes it can be difficult to develop skills, talent and determination to succeed in one discipline so the thought of entering a tournament where two completely separate disciplines are tested can be off-putting to some. Many poker players find that the different types of poker games represent a difficult enough challenge so you wonder how many people are going to be interested in an upcoming event that sees golf and poker skills being put to the limit? It is not going to be a tournament for everyone but for anyone that likes to think they excel at the poker table and on the golf course; this has to be a tournament that grabs their attention.

Play to the limit with golf and poker

Kingswood Golf & Country Club

A golf club in Surrey has pulled out all the stops for such an event and they have even managed to get a major sponsor on board. If you like golf, you will know the TaylorMade brand and this label is behind the Golf & Poker Challenge 2013 at the Kingswood Golf & Country Club.

For an entry fee of £45, players will be presented with 1,000 poker chips before they hit the golf course and nine holes. It is possible to pick up bonus chips on the course with bonuses for longest drive and nearest the pin elements. After a break for food and drinks, the action turns to the poker tables where a Texas Hold ‘Em event will take place in the club at night. Those players that excelled on the golf course will find that they have a head start on their opponents so there is a lot to be gained from having skills in both areas. The event will be taking place on Friday, the 12th of April.
