The Players Championship will once again follow the same format as it has in previous years. The first round will be open to all players with the top eight then qualifying for the knockout matchplay round. This will follow with the four matchplay winners taking part in a final round decider to crown the 2021 British Players Champion. Due to travel restrictions, there will be no International Players Championship. The Players Championship will start at 2pm on Friday 24th September. Full details will be in the players information pack.

We look forward to another enjoyable and successful event.

Scott Lancley comments “Two years later than originally planned… We return to the great course that is Pirate Golf, at Hastings Adventure Golf.
This course offers plenty of Aces, and we are currently expecting one of the strongest fields of the year with almost all the GB’s current top 32 ranked players participating. We are also hoping to welcome some international participants from mainland Europe and across the Atlantic pond.
Home to the Planet Hastings Crazy GC, expect a strong attempt by them to win the BO Club shield currently held by defending champions Cambridgeshire & Essex MGC.
After a hugely successful World Crazy Golf Championship in Hastings, we are pleased to welcome a number of novice participants, good luck to you all!
The EC hopes that you all have a great weekend and are looking forward to the fierce competition. We’ll all be there to make sure it all runs smoothly.
As always, thanks to Simon and the rest of the staff at Hastings Adventure Golf for their continued support of the British Minigolf Association national calendar.
Let’s go putting!…”
