12.01 LET:
Lanserer en challenge tour kalt LET
Access Series (LETAS)
Europa Tour'en for damer har lansert et tilbud til dem som ikke er gode nok til
å spille på LET. Dermed får vi et nivå under LET som blir en rekrutteringsliga
til LET. Foreløpig er det snakk om bare tre turneringer i februar, mars og
april, men det kommer sikkert flere. Det er 18 årsgrense og en handicapgrense på
3. Både profesjonelle og amatører kan delta.
Her er pressemeldingen:
LET ACCESS SERIES LAUNCHED
ENGLAND, 12th Jan 2010 -- The Ladies European Tour (LET) today formally launched
a second tier women’s golf tour designed to provide better playing opportunities
for professional golfers.
The LET Access Series (LETAS) will be the official feeder tour to the LET from
2010. The top player on the 2010 LETAS Ranking will earn membership of the
Ladies European Tour for the 2011 season, while players in second and third
positions will have the opportunity to progress to the final stage of LET
Qualifying School, thereby skipping the first qualifying event.
The 2010 LETAS schedule will initially feature three tournaments, organised in
partnership with the French Federation (FFGolf) and its GENERALI Ladies Tour.
More events will be added over the course of the coming year, with potentially
up to three full LET cards available depending on the number of tournaments.
“The vision of the LET Access Series is to provide greater competitive
opportunities for female golf professionals who are unable to participate in
regular LET events and for those who would like to continue playing during
scheduled LET break periods,” said Alexandra Armas, executive director of the
Ladies European Tour. “The LET Access Series will additionally help to raise
awareness of women’s professional golf generally and will help to bring
additional opportunities to countries developing their women’s golf programmes.”
The tournaments on the 2010 LETAS schedule initially are La Nivelle Ladies Open
at Golf de la Nivelle near Biarritz, due to take place from 11-13 February;
Terre Blanche Ladies Open at Golf de Terre Blanche near Nice, scheduled for 31
March-2 April and the Dinard Ladies Open, due to be played at Dinard Golf Club
near Rennes from 15-17 April, each with prize money from €25,000 to €30,000.
Following the events, three professional golfers and three amateur players will
be invited to compete at the Open de France Féminin, scheduled for 9-12
September at Paris International Golf Club.
Georges Barbaret, President of the FFGolf, was delighted with the new
development and said: “We are proud to be a part of this important step for the
development of ladies’ professional golf in Europe. Our ambition is to help our
best players quickly reach the highest level in the world and we found that a
step was missing in their progression. It is now the case and we hope that other
countries will join us soon to build together a real European circuit.”
All female professional golfers and amateurs with a handicap of 3 or better will
be eligible for membership of LETAS, providing they are over 18 years of age.
