ASSISTANT Professional at Launceston Golf Club Adam Goudge has qualified, with a Category 9, to play in this years EuroPro Tour.

Adam, better known to members and friends as 'Gifford', shot two under par for the three final qualifying rounds on the red and blue courses at Frilford Heath Golf Club, Oxford, over three days from April 10 to 12, after pre-qualifying the previous week at The Players Club, Bristol, in difficult conditions which saw the cancellation of the second round.

In a field of 240 at Frilford Heath, Adam opened on the red course with a round of +1, followed by rounds of -1 and -2 for a total of 214 and a place of T56.

Category 9 is awarded to players between 30 and 80 in the final round competed in by the final 120 players, and will more or less guarantee entry into all of the 15 tournaments this year.
