Is she…?

Rocket Yard Sports media story – Rockliffe Hall 20/07/20

Is it? We are checking every available resource we have and it does appear that this is the first time a woman has taken the title in a professional tour event where women are competing with the men. Well done to Ellie on becoming a record breaker (we think)!

This was to be a fantastic event for Rocket Yard Sports as we recently announced that we are partnering with the 2020protour to support their sales & marketing efforts as the tour continues to flourish in it’s maiden season despite the disruption caused by Covid-19. The tour is founded by long time Rocket Yard client, Chris Hanson and his business partner Adam Walker. The concept was born out of the idea that there were little to no gender inclusive tours where women are able to compete against the men in a fair and neutral way. We naturally love the concept and now, felt like the right time to get involved.

Part of the arrangement between Rocket Yard and 2020protour, was for us to be the title sponsor of our own event, aka, ‘The Rocket Yard Classic’ hosted at Rockliffe Hall in Darlington.

The weather conditions were breezy and a little chilly which made for difficult scoring for most of the morning starters. By the time the later tee times got underway, scoring soon improved and LET Tour Player, Ellie Givens made a run at the top of the leaderboard with a solid score of 68, a 4 under par round that stood for some time. This is where our next stroke of good fortune came in… there are no playoffs, so 1st place is a shared prize and with a late chip in, Andrew Wilson who is also a Rocket Yard client ended up on 4 under par as well to share the spoils with Ellie.

Off the back of our partnership of the 2020protour we have already gained over 100 new followers across our social platforms, several enquiries for athlete representation, and more than 10 enquiries about our sports marketing services from brands. At the end of the day… sponsorship is a marketing discipline and it’s worked well in our favour.

CMD Classic – Worksop GC

Prior to lockdown, the 2020protour was delighted to announce that Contract Management Direct (CMD) were to become a tour partner and also title sponsor of the 4th event at Fulford Golf Club.

Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, that event was soon cancelled; however, we are extremely excited to announce that CMD will now title sponsor the 2020protour event at Worksop Golf Club on Wednesday 22nd July!

“Worksop is a fantastic venue to host any Tour event, and to have CMD title sponsor the event will help to create even more of a tour feel. Paul has been a great supporter of the 2020protour from day 1 and we can’t thank him enough for his support along the way!”

Speaking with Paul Hemlin from CMD, it was clear to see his passion for golf and for supporting male and female golfers who show a real ambition to succeed at the highest level.

CMD have also offered a fantastic #memberbenefit which is often overlooked in the professional world of sport. CMD will offer any member of the 2020protour a free 1-hour consultation to have any sponsorship contract examined to make sure the player is protected when signing a deal.

We have considerable experience in helping smaller companies contract with larger customers or suppliers, ensuring a fair deal is agreed.

Over 95% of their content is not ‘law’, it is critical deal elements such as roles and responsibilities – the who, where, when and how much – which are the areas that cause the most disputes. Contracts should encourage collaboration and mutual gain, not just say what happens if things go wrong. Not having robust contracts in place will affect the value of your business in the event of a sale.

Title sponsor The Hopkins Classic

The 2020protour are delighted to welcome Hopkins Butchers, Birkenshaw, as the title sponsors for The Hopkins Classic at Cleckheaton and District Golf Club on Monday 8 June!

Adam Walker, co-founder of 2020protour: “It’s brilliant to have a local business on board for the Cleckheaton event. Hopkins are a great village butchers providing excellent product and service to their community and beyond”.

The Hopkins Classic start sheet is full and a very strong field will contend for the title with current male and female European Tour players along with former Ryder Cup stars.

Keep an eye on our social media for details of a competition for fans too: predict the tournament winner and become a winner yourself and collect your magnificent 18inch award winning ‘stand pie’ from the Hopkins shop in Birkenshaw – see details below

ENTRIES OPEN – CLECKHEATON

CLECKHEATON ENTRIES ARE NOW OPEN – Monday 8th June

After working closely with Cleckheaton Golf Club and Lee Shepherd their club professional, we are delighted to announce that entries for the event on Monday 8th June are now OPEN!

The club are extreamly excited to host the event and are already working hard to present the course in the best possible tournament conditions!

SOCIAL DISTANCING will be key to the success of the event and ALL events going forward and we will be closely following the government guidelines!

Please as a player respect these!

In the next few weeks, we will keep you updated with the guidelines as they will be changing week to week!

Cleckheaton GC have been fantastic in extending the tee times for this event so we can achieve maximum numbers in what is most likely to be an event played in TWO balls for obvious reasons.

Going forward, we are working with ALL courses on our schedule to finalise each event and will strive to keep the schedule up to date as soon as possible, along with announcements on social media.

For now, PLEASE do not enter any events past Cleckheaton (8th June) until we release an official entry date – this is due to confirming field sizes at each course after COVID-19 restrictions.

LOOKING AHEAD….

We must appreciate that each course will be dealing with COVID-19 in different ways and saying that this may still effect some tournament dates and field sizes.

If events do go ahead with reduced field sizes (30 players) then MEMBERS will get preference, that is only fair.

Again, we are working hard to get all events into the schedule and to avoid any clashes with other Tours/PGA regions.

Currently we are accepting ALL professional entries but only amateur entries from current members of the 2020protour, so please bare this in mind when entering events, this is due to field sizes.

Professional and amateurs can still join the 2020protour and take advantage of the member benefits, the only difference for professionals is that their McClarrons birdie count will only start from when they join the 2020protour.

Thank you for your understanding in these tough times, we hope you are all safe and well, but also appreciate you want to play golf as for many of you it’s your only source of income.

GOOD LUCK throughout the year on ALL tours and stay safe!

See you on the course soon

COVID-19 UPDATE

The Eye Doctor Classic – Highlights

On Monday 16 March, clear blue skies and bright sunshine greeted the 2020protour at its inaugural event at Crosland Heath Golf Club, Huddersfield. Thanks to very poor weather conditions in February, the Tour’s first two events had to be rescheduled; hence Crosland Heath took on the mantle of the opening event. And what a great day it turned out to be! Many thanks go to the Heath greens staff for their exceptional work in offering a course that after recent weather was in superb condition!

Sponsored by The Body Doctor, ‘The Eye Doctor Classic’ produced some excellent golf. Nicholas Poppleton, from Wath Golf Club, carded a high-quality 64 (-7), which included 8 birdies (a cracking start to the McClarron Race to 100 Birdies!) and took away a first prize of £1,200.

Prior to play, players took advantage of the complimentary physiotherapy sessions, offered by the Tour’s Physio Craig Coulson. For most of the Tour’s events, players will have the chance to book a 15-minute warm-up/support session with Craig, or at some locations with Michael Murray.

ContentLiveGolf were in attendance for the whole event, live streaming over a number of media platforms – analytics have shown that there were over 18,000 views, which gave lots of golf fans a chance to hear the players, see the action, and get a look at what happens behind the scenes.

Many thanks to Crosland Heath Golf Club for hosting a successful inaugural event!

Hard on the heels of the inaugural event came the ‘ThinOptics Masters’, played at Fixby Hall, the home of The Huddersfield Golf Club.

Again, the day produced some great scoring; home favourite Nick Marsh shot 64 (-6) in the feature group with European Tour player Marcus Armitage (-5), and Richard Mansell (-5), with another -5 coming from Nick McCarthy.

A bonus of £300 was on offer for the player with the lowest two-round total – Nicholas Poppleton’s -3 clinched the bonus prize and extended his birdie tally to 13.

Many thanks to The Huddersfield Golf Club for hosting the event.
