Welcome to the <strong>2016</strong> <strong>Lombard</strong> <strong>Trophy</strong><br />
The PGA and <strong>Lombard</strong>, in association with The Royal Bank of Scotland, and with the support of Pestana Resorts<br />
and Coca-Cola, are pleased to announce this year’s call for entries to one of the country’s most highly regarded<br />
and eagerly anticipated Club events, The <strong>Lombard</strong> <strong>Trophy</strong>.<br />
<strong>Lombard</strong> and The Royal Bank of Scotland are<br />
proud to be continuing their sponsorship of<br />
the largest Pro-Am tournament in Europe, in<br />
which well over one million amateur golfers<br />
have already participated over the years. We<br />
look forward to welcoming the many Club<br />
members who will enjoy the competition and<br />
fun of The <strong>Lombard</strong> <strong>Trophy</strong> <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
The <strong>Lombard</strong> <strong>Trophy</strong> features 14 superb<br />
Regional Finals. Each outstanding venue<br />
features all the qualities needed to<br />
engage both PGA Professionals and<br />
dedicated amateurs.<br />
<strong>Lombard</strong>, in association with The Royal Bank<br />
of Scotland and The PGA, are also delighted<br />
to confirm that the <strong>2016</strong> Grand Final in<br />
September will be played at Pestana Golf<br />
Resort at Vila Sol, Portugal.<br />
The rising number of entries over the years<br />
shows that participation in The <strong>Lombard</strong><br />
<strong>Trophy</strong> is its own reward, but there are<br />
also significant prizes at stake. The PGA<br />
Professionals will be competing for a share<br />
of the £70,290 prize fund and there will be<br />
highly coveted prizes for amateurs at both<br />
Regional and Grand Finals.<br />
This <strong>2016</strong> <strong>Lombard</strong> <strong>Trophy</strong> entry pack contains<br />
all the information you need to ensure your<br />
Club is represented at one of the 14 Regional<br />
Finals. Both eligible PGA Professionals and club<br />
secretaries have been mailed this document but<br />
an electronic copy is also available for download<br />

We very much hope to welcome your Club<br />
to the <strong>2016</strong> <strong>Lombard</strong> <strong>Trophy</strong>. The first step<br />
to securing a place is to set the date of your<br />
Club Qualifying Round and promote this<br />
exciting opportunity to your members, using<br />

With best wishes to all at your Club.<br />
