And they will have their sights firmly set on twin targets.

The Northern PGA Pro-Am roadshow is due to roll into town on Friday, May 23rd.

And then the professionals will be battling it out for the prize money while helping their teams go all out for the other prizes.

But they will also be going all out to eclipse the professional course record at Marsden Heights.

The current mark of 61 – nine-under par – was set in 2004 by Clitheroe golfer Stuart Andrew in an East Lancashire PGA Alliance event.

The Alliance has only just returned to Nelson and so there have been few chances to challenge that record.

But with more than 30 professionals due out on the course on the same day next month, there is every chance it will be beaten.

The Pro-Am is for teams of three amateurs with a professional.

Played in a betterball medal format with the best two scores on each hole to count, entry costs £180 per team and the start sheet is filling up quickly.

Entry details and further information can be obtained from club professional Simon Eaton (617000).
