Tico to Participate in the Alfred Dunhill Championships

The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, which celebrates links golf at its finest, is played over three of the world’s best known and respected links courses – the Old Course at St Andrews, the Championship Course at Carnoustie and the highly regarded Kingsbarns Golf Links. The Championship this year takes place from September 29 to October 2.

With a prize fund of US$5 million, the championship incorporates two separate competitions - an individual professional tournament for the world's leading golfers and a team event in which the professionals are paired with some of the most celebrated amateur golfers which creates a unique atmosphere.

According to the Championship's website, Tico will again be one of the amateurs participating in the event.

The course will be closed to the public from September 24 until October 2, 2011 (according to an article on WorldGolf.com) but they also say that Tico is the "former Bon Jovi drummer", so take what they say with a grain of salt.

Entrance to the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship will be FREE at all three courses on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A ticket price of £15 (concessionary £10) will be charged for the final day’s play over the Old Course on Sunday, October 2. Entry for under 16s and students is free.

For ticketing and other information, check out the Kingsbarns Golf Links website or that of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championships.
