From 1-6 February couples can team up to compete in the 8th Annual Couples Golf Tournament. This event, consisting of three individual tournaments, will be held at two of the Island’s most prestigious golf clubs. The first round will be fought out at Bermuda’s oldest course, Riddell’s Bay Golf and Country Club, where the tight fairways and small narrow greens demand players are accurate as well as tactful. The second and final rounds will be played at the stunning Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed Port Royal golf course, which Jack Nicklaus has rated as one of the best courses in the world!

Female golf fans have even more to look forward to with the 8th Annual Ladies pro-am Classic, that takes place 4-10 March 2005. Held at the Port Royal course, the Ladies Classic enables both professional and amateur female golfers to compete side by side along some of Bermuda’s finest fairways. Then, after a hard day on the golf course, what better way to unwind than by being pampered in one of Bermuda’s sumptuous spa’s. With many of Bermuda’s top resorts now boasting excellent spa facilities, including the new Spa at Elbow Beach, run by the Mandarin Oriental group, the only stress will come from deciding which of the irresistible treatments to chose! Finally, for those who enjoy a party, the glamorous final night cocktail party and prize ceremony held at Pompano Beach Club is a must, enabling you to end the tournament in style!

Bermuda’s sub-tropical climate ensures that this paradise Island enjoys just two seasons; spring from November to March and summer from April until October. This meteorological fact combined with the widespread use of Tiff Eagle Bermuda Grass, complemented by the Bermudian attention to detail, helps to keep all of the country’s eight golf courses in immaculate condition year-round.

A seven-night break in Bermuda this March costs just £1,245 per person, including direct flights with British Airways from London Gatwick to Bermuda, private taxi transfers on-island and seven nights accommodation in a superior double room at the luxurious Pompano Beach Club on a half board basis. Price is valid for departures until 17th March 2005. Entrance to the golf tournament is additional and must be booked in advance directly with Pompano Beach Club (www.pompanobeachclub.com).
