EVENT INFORMATION

Championship Village

While the action is going on across the course, our Championship Village, near to the 18th green is where it’s all happening off course and where you will find plenty of seating to relax. There will also be a big screen so there is no need to miss any of the live action.  There are fun activities for the whole family to get involved, and food and drink outlets ensuring that the golf course is not the only place where the action is happening.  

The 10-Metre-Long Putt challenge:

The Long Putt Challenge is located in the centre of the Championship Village.  Velindre Cancer Centre Cardiff, will run the activation from Wednesday to Sunday and there will be prizes up for grabs, Gareth Bale signed merchandise.

Each participant pays £5 to enter and will receive 3 chances to hole the putt, an addictive little challenge that sees all ages glued to the surrounds of the activation to see how other people do in their attempts to get it in.  Those who are successful will be entered into a prize draw:

*Daily long putt Prizes: *

A cap signed by Gareth Bale plus 1hr Callaway session at the driving range top tracer at Celtic Manor.

*Long Putt Grand Prize Draw:  *

Will take place at the end of the event.  All those who holed the putt over the 5 days will be entered into the prize draw.

A Fourball on the Twenty Ten Course.

Batfast simulator

The Batfast simulator. A pretty simple concept, you will enter into the gazebo and prepare for the screen to load, the bowler will be projected onto the screen and will mimic running up and bowling a ball out of the machine. A fun little challenge that can be done by all ages and abilities as the speeds can be altered from 20mph up to 60mph!

Multi-Sport activation

A fun way for anyone to spend time in the fan village! The football challenge is where you will have a certain number of shots to hit the targets on the Gareth Bale back drop.  There is also the rugby challenge, and the idea is to throw the ball through the hoops of the rugby players staggered around the activation.

Golf simulator

The golf simulator will mimic one of the Ryder Cup holes at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club, capturing the experience of what it is like to play a hole, you will have three shots and will get to experience how they may fare on the course!

Wales Golf Nets

The Wales Golf activation area will welcome over 400 New2Golf and community groups during this year’s Cazoo Open. The participants will attend a celebratory social and golf coaching experience, with a focus on bringing women, girls and families along with the golf club organisers who so passionately run New2Golf annually. We will also have community groups from projects such as Newport Youth Academy, Women Connect First and Amar Cymru. The groups will have time for some one-on-one coaching, as well as some fun competitions. Following on from the activities, the participants will be offered some refreshments, and then encouraged to go out and watch the stars in action.  As well as coordinating and hosting the area.

There will be coaching and fun competitions for spectators and Wales Golf PGA Professionals will also be giving training sessions to help improve your golf swing and promote and signpost other spectators who wish to take up golf.
