Qualifying Event: Thursday 20th May 2010
Sunningdale ranks as one of the premier clubs of England and it has never stooped to tricking up the course for major competition. It is difficult enough in all conscience and also hauntingly beautiful. There are few more exhilarating sights than the view from the high 10th tee across an inviting valley, with the fairway rising to the wooded horizon. If there is one hole in England which fantasists would like to take them into banishment on a desert island it must be the tenth at Sunningdale. Bobby Jones wished that he could take the entire course back with him to America. He did in fact take back cherished memories of Sunningdale and incorporated many of them in Augusta National.
Included in the price for the Sunningdale qualifying event is the opportunity to play a friendly round on the New Course in the afternoon.
Sunningdale Golf Club's Old Course played host to the first Financial Times Business Championship event of the 2010 season. Competitors enjoyed the sunny weather, immaculately presented golf course and excellent hospitality provided by the club.
