ON BEHALF OF the European Golf Association it is my pleasure to welcome all competitors, officials and supporters to

I also extend my thanks to Halmstad Golf Club and its members for making their superb golf course available for this

The Team Championships are looked forward to with great
enthusiasm and are the highlight of the season for most players, it brings together the most talented amateurs in Europe
to compete at the highest level of team golf in a competitive
and friendly manner.

WELCOME
MOST WELCOME TO TYLÖSAND AND HALMSTAD GOLF CLUB
7 – 11TH OF JULY 2015
Halmstad Golf Club is very proud to host the 2015 European Amateur Team
Championship and we hope that you will find the beloved North Course
both challenging and beautiful. As the president of Halmstad Golf Club I
welcome all players, supporters, coaches and officials to our club.
Halmstad Golf Club was founded in 1930 and has been the venue for
numerous international and national championships. In recent years
Halmstad Golf Club has been the venue for the 2007 Solheim Cup and the
2011 European Amateur Championship.
In 1985 Halmstad Golf Club hosted the European Amateur Team
Championship and many of us have great memories of all the excellent golf
that we enjoyed. Among the players that participated in 1985 the most
recognized today are Colin Montgomerie, José Maria Olazabal and Jesper
Parnevik. They all battled against the course and each other to the delight
of the spectators. I am sure that you will provide us with the same thrilling
experience in 2015.
On behalf of the board, members and staff of Halmstad Golf Club I wish you
most welcome and hope to see you in July 2015.

HISTORY ABOUT
THE
TOURNAMENT
AND
HALMSTAD GOLF
CLUB
TUESDAY 7 - SUNDAY 11 JULY 2015
HALMSTAD GOLF CLUB, SWEDEN
TOURNAMENT HISTORY
The very first European Amateur Team Championship was played in 1959 at
El Prat Golf Club outside Barcelona, Spain. The winning Swedish team included two players from Halmstad Golf Club – Gunnar Carlander and P-O
Johansson. This and many other great accomplishments earned them an
almost iconic stature at Halmstad Golf Club, and Gunnar Carlander is an
honorary member. Sadly, P-O Johansson passed away in 2012. The Swedish
team from 1959 also included Göran Lindeblad, G A Bielke, Bengt Möller,
Ola Bergqvist, Elis Werkell and the team captain Nils Odqvist.
HALMSTAD GOLF CLUB
Halmstad Golf Club previously hosted the European Amateur Team
Championship in 1985, and there are still many fond memories of the
event, now three decades ago. In the end, the Swedish team could not hold
off the Scottish players, who after the final could take the impressive trophy
back to Scotland. The amateur teams back then included many great players who would go on to professional golf, and we were very fortunate to see
players like Colin Montgomerie, José Maria Olazábal and Jesper Parnevik
before they became golfing superstars. One of the best amateur players of
all time, Peter McEvoy, also played in the event, and showed the many spectators how to strike a golf ball.

A tie for any place in the match play order shall
be decided using the lowest total of the two noncounting scores. If a tie still exists, the sum of the
two lowest scores, one from each day, shall be
used. For further ties, the sum of the two second
lowest scores, the third lowest scores, the fourth
lowest scores and, finally, the sum of the two fifth
lowest scores, one from each day, shall be used.

the entire Championship. A substitute player is
permitted for any reason, but may not participate
in the practice rounds until he has been officially
substituted for a team member with permission
from the Committee. A breach of this Condition
may result in the substitute player not being
permitted to compete.
Note 1: If the Host Nation is not eligible under category

shall finish last. If more than one player is absent,
the team shall automatically assume last place in
the match play draw. The remaining players shall
be permitted to play their stroke play rounds,

will be the same as for Day 1.

Conditions of Competition
e) Absentee Players
In the event that one (several) registered team
member(s) cannot participate in a stipulated match
play round, that (these) player(s)’s match(s) shall
be forfeited at a position within the order of play
determined according to the following principles.
I. Foursome matches must not be forfeited and
must always be played.
Exception: in a medal-contention match, if a
team has three absentee players, one foursome
will be forfeited.
1.4 Practice
A Team Player, Team Captain or Team Advisor will not
be allowed to practice on the championship course for a
period of thirty days prior to the first official practice day,
unless he or she is a member of the golf club at which the
championship is being played.
Only registered team players will be permitted to practice
during the official practice rounds and in official practice
areas.
See Section 1.3 1 (d) for information on practice for
substitutes.
II. Non-Medal Contention Matches
i. If the “withdrawal” occurs before the official
deadline to submit the order of play form
has expired, the Team Captain will return the
order of play form with the absentee player
placed in the position of his or her choice in
the singles and that match will be forfeited.
ii. If the “withdrawal” occurs after the official
deadline to submit the order of play form has
expired,
• if the absentee player is listed to play in the
singles: his match shall be forfeited,
• if the absentee player is listed to play in
the foursome, he will be replaced by one of
the players listed to play in the singles. The
replacement will be determined by lot and
his single match shall be forfeited.

represent a team, that team must forfeit its
match.
1.5 Advice (Note to Rule 8)
Each team may appoint a “Team Advisor” who may give
advice to members of that team from either:
a) a Team Captain, who must be an amateur golfer in
accordance with the Rules of Amateur Status as
approved by R&A Rules Limited; or
b) another person who may or may not be a professional
golfer.
Penalty for Breach of a): Disqualification of Team.
Exception: The appointed person may not walk on a
putting green.
A Team Advisor must be identified to the Committee prior
to the start of the Championship and the position must
not be interchanged.
Note: A Team Captain may be named in addition to a

expired, the absentee player(s) match(es)
shall be forfeited.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
HALMSTAD GOLF CLUB is
located on the beautiful
west coast of Sweden,
about 2 hours from
Gothenburg, Sweden’s
second largest city.

Halmstad Golf Club was
founded in 1930, and the
North Course is constantly
ranked as one of the top
courses in Sweden, and
among the Top 50 courses
on the European continent.
Halmstad Golf Club has on
numerous occasions
hosted national and international championships. In
2007, Halmstad Golf Club
was the venue for the
Solheim Cup, and in 2011
the International European
Amateur Championship
was played on the North
Course.
During the first few years,
golf was played on a temporary course that had
been laid out on the
Halland Regiment training
grounds in Halmstad. The
construction of an 18 holecourse in Tylösand, designed by noted architect
Rafael Sundblom, began in
1935. The course was
approved by the Swedish
Golf Association on May
25, 1938. In 1963 the
Swedish National Forest
Enterprise gave the club
permission to use an area
for an additional nine
holes, north of the existing
course.
The new course was inaugurated on May 13, 1967.
Together with the last nine
holes of the old course, this
formed the new 18 holecourse which we today call
the North Course.
