Det er ikke feil å spille golf på Gleneagles. Det vil Solheim Cup-spillerne få erfare i 2019 hvor Norge etter Golfsidens vurdering kommer til å ha en spiller med på laget. Her ser vi det 9. hullet på the PGA Centenary Course på Gleneagles.

29.10 Solheim Cup:
Gleneagles slo ut Bro Hof slott 
Norge trakk seg, Bro Hof Slott søkte, Gleneagles vant.

Det var stor skuffelse hos Annika Sörenstam som vokste opp bare noen kilometer fra Bro Hof Slott utenfor Stockholm. Eieren av banen Björn Örås var også skuffet, men han kan trøste seg med at Europa Touren for herrer spiller på hans bane når Nordea Masters kommer på besøk neste år.

Det ble med andre ord ingen tredje gang at Sverige arrangerer Solheim Cup.

Gleneagles er et fantastisk sted og vil helt sikkert gjennomføre et solid arrangement. Det spørs om Oslo GK og Norges Golfforbund egentlig hadde så mye å stille opp mot med de to nevnte banene som konkurrenter. Men det fikk vi aldri svaret på.

Gleneagles kunne love flere penger i kassa til LET. Det var nok den viktigste faktoren i dette spillet om valg av sted. I pressemeldingen blir det nevnt at Bro Hof Slott er en fabelaktig bane som LET ønsker å samarbeide med i fremtiden. Hyggelig sagt og et godt grunnlag for en søknad fra Bro Hof Slott ved neste korsvei.
 

Her er pressemeldingen fra LET:

Scotland to host The 2019 Solheim Cup

Gleneagles wins highly competitive bidding process

29th October 2015

Scotland has won the right to host The Solheim Cup in 2019 and the 16th edition of the greatest team event in women’s golf will be played at the world famous PGA Centenary Course at The Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire.

After an extensive and very competitive bidding process, the final decision saw Scotland’s submission up against a strong bid from Sweden, which nominated The Bro Hof Slott Golf Club as its proposed venue.

Earlier in the year, ten countries - Denmark, England, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and Wales - submitted expressions of interest in hosting the 2019 event, the next time it is held in Europe.

Following official site inspection visits to Gleneagles and Bro Hof Slott, the Ladies European Tour (LET) Evaluation Committee this week presented their recommendations to the LET Board for ratification.

Ivan Khodabakhsh, chief executive of Ladies European Tour said: “I want to congratulate the Scotland bid team for their work. It was an extremely close decision and our heartfelt thanks go to our friends from Sweden for their hugely impressive bid. The Bro Hof Slott Golf Club is one of Europe’s very finest courses and we look forward to working with them in the future.

“The competitive nature of the bidding process for the 2019 event is testimony to the growth in interest in women’s professional golf and women’s sport in general. The Solheim Cup has grown to be the biggest event in the women’s game delivering outstanding value to its partners at a local, national and international level.”

Commenting on the news that the Ladies European Tour’s Board voted in favour of Scotland, The Right Honourable Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland MSP, said: “This is tremendous news, not only for golf tourism and events in Scotland but for Scotland as a whole. As a nation we take a huge amount of pride in welcoming major events to our country and in women’s golf they don’t come any bigger than The Solheim Cup.

“The outstanding success of 2014 still looms large in the memory and I am delighted that Gleneagles and Scotland will once again play host to a major international team golf event. It will help cement Scotland’s reputation as the Home of Golf and the perfect stage for major golf events and help inspire a new generation of children to take up the game invented in their home country.”

Scotland’s bid, which was led by the EventScotland team within VisitScotland’s Events Directorate and backed by The Scottish Government, was submitted in August and received huge support from stars across the golfing, sporting and media spectrum.

John A. Solheim, PING Chairman and CEO, commented: “I am excited that the Solheim Cup will be returning to Scotland, home of Europe’s first win. Gleneagles is certainly one of the great venues in golf and will provide a wonderful experience for all. I’m sure that the members of the 2019 Solheim Cup teams will be up to meeting the challenges of this exceptional golf course.”
