What is the GOLFBALL3OOO Rally?
Well, the clue is in the name… it’s a 3000 kilometre car rally that stops in Dijon, Cannes, Barcelona and Murcia and ends up with the mutha of all parties and the golf tournament of all golf tournaments in one of the finest 5 star hotels in Europe… The Hyatt Regency La Manga Club Resort.

A sense of adventure, party spirit and camaraderie are the buzz words on our lips and they’re all you need to be a true GOLFBALLER and join in the party!

Only 100 cars will be allowed in this year’s rally, so you really need to be quick if you want to get involved. All the information you need is enclosed within these pages and we can’t wait to jump in our car and head off on our epic journey…click here to reserve your place now!

How does it work?
First and foremost, it’s not a race and there are no prizes for getting there first. We can’t stress this enough!!! We want everyone to get there safe and happy.

The rally itself works on a points system, the exact details of which will be announced to all GOLFBALLERS just before the rally kicks off in September. You’ll be able to pick up points by stopping at golf related landmarks on route and taking photos, hitting some balls etc. Points and prizes will also be awarded for the oldest/worst car, best dresser uppers, team sprit, and endurance amongst others.

The team that wins the rally will win £1000 in cash to be handed out at La Manga. We’ll confirm all the other prizes as soon as the places are filled.

Where do we start?
The rally starts in Calais. We all meet on the morning of September 25th 2008 and head off from there. You can stay the night in Calais the night before if you like or just get up early and bundle across the channel, what ever suits you and your pockets.

Where do we stop?
We’re stopping in four cities this year Dijon, Cannes, Barcelona and then finishing up at La Manga, Murcia.

What car do I bring?
You can bring any car you like but it will affect your rally points. Basically, the older the car you bring, the more points you get at the start of the rally. Exact details of which will be announced once all places are booked but you get the general idea.

What are the Golf Challenges?
The challenges involve all sorts of things including stopping at driving ranges in France and Spain to hit a few balls, to getting your photo taken with the barman at La Manga without him/her knowing. Again, full details will be released just before the rally.

Do I have to play golf?
No, you don’t have to play golf, you can swap it for selected spa treatments (subject to availability), or a game of tennis. You must let us know in advance if you want to do this though.

How many people will there be?
It’s impossible to say at this point but we expect there to be around 250 people in total as some cars will bring more than 2 people. What a convoy!

What do I wear?
Golf stuff is a must and teams who make the most effort will be awarded extra rally points so get those plus fours out!

However, there is talk of going to a casino in Cannes so you may want to dress up that night in order to get in. We will inform you of this further when all the places are booked.

The final night Gala Awards dinner will be a black tie event, so bring your tucks or cocktail frocks, not your stinky 3 day golf socks!
