Myerscough golf students enjoy Turkish delight

The party spent the week providing assistance at the Turkish Airlines Open, at the Montgomerie Maxx Royal, Antalya. The group performed carry-board scoring for the players during the four rounds of the tournament, which is one of the major events on the PGA European Tour, attracting prize money of $7 million, and is part of the ‘Race to Dubai’, a season-long competition to crown the European Tour’s best player.

It’s the sixth year that Myerscough have worked at the event, and another unique opportunity that Myerscough students are offered as part of their course enrichment, gaining invaluable ‘inside the ropes’ experience, working and rubbing shoulders with a host of stars from the golfing world.

Rick Daniels, Course Leader in Golf Management at Myerscough College and University Centre, said: ''Wow! What a memorable week for our students & staff assisting with on-course scoring at the event.

‘’A huge thanks to the team at International Sports Management for the opportunity once again.

This was another unique opportunity that we’re pleased to offer our students as part of their course enrichment, and it was fantastic for them to gain invaluable experience working on a major event on the PGA European Tour.’’

''The party performed admirably throughout the week and the feedback from organisers has been excellent. We’re already looking at returning next year. Every one of the students played their part and were flexible and helpful in everything they did.

‘’See you again next year!”
