Both the US and European 2008 Tours have ended and THE CUT for the tour cards for next year decided. But then, the European Tour HAS BEGUN . . . The 2009 season and the * * * RACE TO DUBAI * * * . . . A similar concept to the FedEX Cup . . . with a BIG PRIZE at the end. I haven't read up on it yet, will up date you all once I do. However, throught the media, I have heard that it includes several new events and NEW courses, adding something new to European Tour that the FedEX cup did to the US Tour. As I say, the 2009 tour has started for the European Tour, and is stated to be a 13 month event this time, and will be refined for the 2010 Tour. It looks like 2009 will be as exciting as 2008, and . . . DON'T FORGET . . . The Return of the Tiger . . . when ? . . . . . . I do invite and encourage you to send me your views on events, or on my comments . . . email . . . greg@goforgolf.com Enjoy your Golf Greg Paul GoforGOLF __________________________________________________________ *** OCTOBER COMPETITION The October Spot the Ball was won by Simon Wall, Auckland The winning position was e 5 Your prize will be on its way to you shortly.
