Well the season is finally starting, and what better way to start than to pick up a set of brand new custom fit Mizuno irons.  And what about picking them up for €20…

The Masters is always a great tournament to watch, and we’re adding an extra bit of fun to it this year.  Drive Golf Performance & Cork Golf News are teaming up for a monster Masters buster competition with some pretty sweet prizes on offer.  The Mizuno JPX 921 Hot Metal Pro irons are the top prize for the winner, and Padraig will include a custom fitting session to make sure you get the most from your new weapons.  What’s more, the irons are in stock and ready for fitting.

The competition is based on the Masters Tournament, you pick a total 11 golfers from four groups, and the entrant with the most aggregate prizemoney on Sunday night wins.

Just like the Masters, the winner takes the biggest prize, but there are number of other prizes.  The entrant with the second highest prize money will get a limited-edition tour bag and the third place will take home a new custom fit driver.

We’ll have a few spot prizes along the way, so everyone can be part of the fun right up to Sunday night.  €20 for €1,000 worth of gear, now that’s nice.

Entry is quick and easy through the link below.  Pick four players from group 1, three from group 2, three from group 3 and one player from group four.  Payment can be made by PayPal, Revolut or by dropping into Drive Golf Performance before the 7th April.  Multiple entries are allowed, just pick the players and pay for them.

Entries are now open through this link, and we’ll have a spot prize or two for the early entries next week.
