    St Andrews Trophy GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND VERSUS THE CONTINENT OF EUROPE 29-30 August 2008 Kingsbarns, St Andrews (Scotland) TOURNAMENT HISTORY In 1955, the R&A suggested to the European Golf Association that there should be an international match between Great Britain & Ireland and the Continent of Europe. The first match was played at Wentworth and the series has continued on a biennial basis in non-Walker Cup years ever since. The first encounter was a resounding success for the home team, but in recent years, playing a home and away format, the Continental teams have recorded victories. The St Andrews Trophy was presented by the R&A in 1963. SELECTION PROCEDURE Continent of Europe team selections will be made using the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) as an overall guide to player performances. Notice will be taken of player match play results in both major individual championships and in national team representative matches - in particular, the European Amateur Team Championship. 2006 GB&I St Andrews Trophy GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND VERSUS THE CONTINENT OF EUROPE 29-30 August 2008 Kingsbarns, St Andrews (Scotland) SYSTEM OF PLAY The St Andrews Trophy is the men’s biennial equivalent of the annual Jacques Leglise Trophy for boys. Both matches comprise four morning foursomes followed by eight afternoon singles on two consecutive days. A win counts as one point, a half yields half a point and a lost match returns zero. In the event of a tie, the trophy shall be retained by the holders. Results of past encounters can be seen below.

    CONCIERGE GOLF UNFORGETTABLE IRISH GOLF EXPERIENCEs 5 Things to think about before Booking a Golf Trip www.conciergegolfIreland.com CONCIERGE GOLF UNFORGETTABLE IRISH GOLF E XPERIENCEs www.conciergegolfireland.com CONTENT U 1. The Golf Courses The first thing to do before booking a Golf trip is to pick out the courses that you would like to play. Please do think about taking a day off in-between consecutive rounds. In addition, ensure to research the distance between each course. Because, it is critical to avoid any long unnecessary long journeys (over three to five hours driving) between courses and hotels. Also, to avoid any disappointment please book the Golf courses you want to play as soon as possible. Mainly, Golf courses like Royal County Down Golf Club and Royal Portrush Golf Club, Royal Troon or the Old Course in St. Andrews are in higher demand year on year. Plus, may I suggest to start planing a Golf trip to Ireland in March or April for the following year. Finally, I would recommend thinking about Golf vacations to St Andrews or a Scotland in January or February for the following year. 2. Hotel Standards The hotel standards are easily identified from their star ranking. Yes, please be aware that there is a significant difference between a 3* to a 5* Hotels. Also, not all hotels regardless of their star will have air-conditioning rooms and please check for Hotels with AC. Interestingly, it is worth noting that during the warmer months Hotel rooms located on the ground floor are cooler than rooms on the top floor.
