The Old Course, St Andrews hosts the Dunhill Cup competition this fortnight, from Tuesday 11 to Sunday 16. Sixteen teams are involved in the knockout championship, among them holders England (see photo), who will probably start out as favourites to retain their title. Scotland, Wales, Spain, Australia and the United States are among the more realistic challengers, but Brazil, Canada and that doughty nation with a fine golfing tradition, Denmark, will be hoping to do more than just make up the numbers.
Tuesday11 is given overto the official practice and the now obligatory opening ceremony, while the following day is devoted to the Pro-Am competition. Details of entrants lorthis latter event are still to be finalised, but it would not be a huge surprise if the likes of Ronnie Corbett, Bruce Forsyth and Jimmy Tarbuck turned up to make fools of themselves.
The competition proper begins on Thursday 13, with all sixteen teams involved in Round One. Each team has three members, at least two of whom must win their match it the team is to progress to the next round. Dne round takes place each day thereafter, culminating in Sunday's final and third place play-off. Total prize money is $1 million, with the winning team dividing 8300.000 among its three members. Extensive television coverage is expected. (Stuart Bathgate).
