WIN a PowerPlay Golf day out at Northwick Park

PowerPlay Golf is a fresh phenomenon which is currently catching the imagination of golfers looking for a new challenge to spice up their game.

It is being played at the state-of-the art Northwick Park complex in the shadow of the new Wembley Stadium, where each hole is a reproduction of some of the world's most famous major venues - including the 8th (Postage Stamp) at Royal Troon, the 12th at Royal Birkdale and the 6th at Oak Hill - and where golfers are given the option to go for a standard or difficult pin position for bonus points.

Now, in association with the Northwick Park management, Golfmagic.com is offering TEN forum members an opportunity to take part in an exclusive FREE golf day to sample the great facilities and compete in a PowerPlay competition.

The event takes place on Thursday, May 24 and for a chance to be included in one of the three fourballs (two GM staff will also take part) all you have to do is tell us on the forum which great golf hole in the world would give you the greatest thrill to play and why (in less than 30 words, not counting the name of the hole).

We'll pick 10 deserving candidates from the thread and invite them along on the day which includes coffee and bacon/sausage roll on arrival at 10.30 a.m., 100 free practice balls on the two-tier golf range, practice on the National Short Game Centre chipping and putting green, three holes warm-up, nine-hole PowerPlay competition and presentation of prizes.

Says former Walker Cup captain and leading amateur golfer Peter McEvoy, who devised PowerPlay golf's answer to Twenty20 cricket: "It offers a shorter, exciting version of golf - where elements of risk and reward are enhanced. Over nine holes a player can, in advance of their approach, opt to nominate three 'powerplays'. This means they can go for a more difficult black flagstick option to double their points tally for a gross or nett birdie."

This new form of golf is being introduced to clubs in the Middlesex area, but our Golfmagic competition gives our member an exclusive chance to try it and give the innovators crucial feedback before it's adopted by clubs nationwide as an alternative to monthly medals and stableford events.

What you have to do

If you're interested in taking part, can attend on the day from 10.30 am (making your own way there), submit your interest on the forum now. We look forward to hearing from you before the closing date of Tuesday, May 15.
