Hopes prestigious golf tournament will return to IoM

Castletown Golf Links hosted Euro Pro Tour last week

There are strong hopes a prestigious golf competition held on Island last week can return to Manx shores in future.

Castletown Golf Links hosted the penultimate event of the Euro Pro Tour between last Wednesday and last Friday (15-17 September).

Around 120 rising stars of men's professional golf took to the course in the south over the three days.

The event acts as a feeder into the European Tour and Challenge Tours.

General Manager of Castletown Golf Links, Andi Howland, says feedback about the occasion from spectators has been very positive.

He adds players who took part have also given a glowing review:

The event was also covered by Sky Sports - it wasn't broadcast live but highlights are expected to be shown on Monday, 4 October on the Sky Golf channel.
