The penultimate event on the 2015 European Senior Tour calendar is the French Riviera Masters at Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort, this week!

As the professionals get to the ‘business end’ of the season, the pressure begins to mount, especially considering the change in membership regulations and exemption criteria for the 2016 season. However, with Gary lying in 31^st position on the Order of Merit, he will need a big week to get as high in the rankings as possible, ideally breaking into the top 20 to secure a good playing card for next year, there whilst on the French Riviera, it will certainly not be a peaceful relaxing retreat for Gary, strictly down to business!

Despite a very bleak weather forecast and a course that is playing even longer than usual due to its soft fairways, Gary is confident of a strong week. He finished in a tie for 6^th place in the event in 2014 and has two further top 12 finishes at the same event in the past four years.

Gary begins his first round on Friday 1^st October teeing off the 10^th hole at 09.20 (08.20 UK time) alongside Jose Rivero, Simon Brown and Andrew Oldcorn, the same partners he will tee off with at the same time, but from the 1^st tee on Saturday for the second round.

As always a big thank you to all of Gary’s sponsors and supporters from throughout the 2015 season and previously.
