Defending US Open champion, Lucas Glover, has confirmed his entry for the Barclays Scottish Open this year. It is the first time that Glover has been at Loch Lomond, joining Phil Mickelson (the Masters champion) and a good number of other US players at this years’ event. The Scottish Open is scheduled for 8th – 11th July, the week before the 150th Anniversary British Open at St. Andrews.

Palazzo Arzaga Hotel Spa & Golf Resort in Italy is located in the lovely countryside of Lake Garda and has been nominated in a number of categories for the World Travel Awards.
The hotel boasts an 18 hole, Par 72 Championship Golf Course “Arzaga I”, which was designed by Jack Nicklaus II; while the 9-hole course Arzaga II, was designed by Gary Player. The courses are designed to fit in around the hilly landscape and I think you’ll find they are great courses for both beginners and professionals.
This year’s Europe World Travel Awards event will be held at the Rixos Premium Belek, located in Antalya, Turkey, on October 1st. I wish good luck to Palazzo Arzaga Hotel Spa & Golf Resort who were nominated in the following categories:
2010 Europe’s Leading Golf Resort
2010 Italy’s Leading Golf Resort
2010 Italy’s Leading Spa Resort

This year’s Champions Challenge, a four-hole competition for past winners on the day before the British Open, has twenty-eight confirmed entries. These include Seve Ballesteros who, despite the fact that he is still convalescing, is really looking forward to playing and thinks he will do okay. Last year’s winner Stewart Cink will be there along with recent winners Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington.
Seven teams of four will battle it out for the £50,000 prize which will then be donated to a charity chosen by the winners. The event is part of the 150th Anniversary celebrations at St. Andrews and is sure to draw a huge crowd.

It can only be good news for St. Andrews that Tiger Woods has confirmed his entry into this year’s Open Championship. Tiger will be trying to win the Claret Jug for the third time; the first player ever to do so. Always a crowd-puller, this year he is sure to add even more interest to the event…and I for one will be watching!
