TWELVE teams have already entered the Hampshire PGA's 2005 Algarve Pro-Am on March 12-19.

After the success of this year's trip to the eastern Algarve, teams will be returning to the same venue, close to the Spanish border for the 72-hole tournament at the Quinta de Cima and Quinta da Ria courses.

Teams will also travel across the border into Spain to play Islantilla Golf Club during the course of their week-long stay.

Weybrook Park's Andrew Cloke is defending the title against a field which includes HPGA order of merit winner Jon Barnes, who recently switched from Sandford Springs to the South Winchester club.

The package has again been organised by Libertee Golf and places are still available for teams who would like to play.

"It's a great package and we have managed to keep the price the same as this year," said Hampshire PGA Secretary David Wheeler.

"The courses and facilities are superb and I'm sure teams will enjoy the chance to play Islantilla".

Anyone interested in taking part should contact the Hampshire PGA on 01962-860928 for more details.
