The Grand Final of The National Matchplay Championship 2008, will be held at the Vilamoura Resort on The Algarve. The leading competitors from the UK Finals qualify for The Grand Finals including flights with Monarch Airlines, car hire from Auto Jardim, accommodation at the 4* Ampalius Hotel, and five rounds of golf on the Oceanico championship courses to contest the titles. The week ends with a Prize Presentation Dinner.

 

 

The tournament complies with all R&A regulations. After the closing date of 17th May 2008, competitors will receive a copy of the draw, stating whether they are playing home or away. The knockout stages will take place between June and September on a regional basis to minimise travelling. If courtesy of the course is not granted for the away player/s the green fees will be charged at the member's guest rate and the cost shared between the home and away players. Competitors need only win a maximum of four matches to qualify for the UK Finals, which will be held at selected Macdonald venues across the UK in October, before leading singles players and better ball teams head for the Grand Finals in Portugal in January.
