text: Matchplay Event
  
  "As we all look out of the windows and see the snowdrifts and feel the icy wind it is difficult to believe that the time of year has rolled around again for the HowDidiDo match play event to be open for business. Registration for the event has been open now for around two weeks and traffic and registrations are building.
  
  The event this year will follow the same format as previous years and following the initial knockout competitions we will be running the regional finals at the MacDonald hotel venues that have supported us in the past. The Championship Finals, played over 5 rounds, will be held in the Algarve early in 2014 and we all hope for the same week of sunshine that we had this year.
  
  Alex, Alistair and Neil will all be on hand at the regional and the final events to give the same high level of support that all National Match Play golfers have become used to.
  
  So register now and make this the biggest, as well as the most enjoyable amateur event of the golfing season."
