Shorts: Selhurst Park, Sussex Cricket, Btcc
Stadium Golf Tour will transform Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park into a uniquely designed nine-hole golf course in June.
The South London stadium, with a 25,500 capacity is one of five venues to be included on the company’s UK tour circuit, following huge popularity in the US, which also includes takeovers at other iconic sports grounds such as Twickenham.
The experience at Selhurst Park will be held from 15th to 18th June offering players the chance to enjoy a golf challenge which sees them teeing off from all four stands of the stadium aiming for the greens on the Eagles’ pitch.
Each hole will be uniquely designed, with players striking balls from the Main stand, followed by tee-offs from the Holmesdale Road and Arthur Wait Stand before ending from the Whitehorse Lane Stand.
Sussex Cricket has extended its partnership SO Legal until 2025.
The renewal will take Sussex Cricket’s relationship with its corporate partner to 10 years.
Specialist law firm SO Legal first partnered with Sussex Cricket in 2016, holding its own Executive Suite located adjacent to Cow Corner at The 1st Central County Ground ever since.
Speaking on the extension, SO Legal Co-Founder Hamed Ovaisi, said, “As a local law firm, we are proud to continue our corporate partnership for another three years. Sussex Cricket has an outstanding reputation beyond what happens on the pitch.”
Sussex Cricket CEO, Rob Andrew, added, “It gives us great pleasure to confirm the partnership extension with SO Legal, who have been a mainstay at The 1st Central County Ground since 2016.
“The extension is just one of many that we have secured this season and only adds to the excitement and optimism that we have at this club moving forward.
“We look forward to welcoming the SO Legal team to watch Sussex play this season.”
The PMR Team has extended its title sponsorship deal with Pendragon ahead of the first race of the 2023 British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).
Kicking off at Donington Park with first race qualifying on Saturday 22nd April, Pendragon’s car brands, CarStore and Evans Halshaw, will gain exposure throughout the 10-race season.
The partnership will also deliver CarStore VIP hospitality, fan zones and onsite branding.
Kim Costello, Chief Marketing Officer at Pendragon, said, “We are excited to be heading into our second year as title sponsor of the PMR team – one of the foremost racing teams in the BTCC.
“For decades, the BTCC has been recognised as a racing series for all to enjoy. Unlike Formula One, which can be cost prohibitive for many to attend in-person, the BTCC is readily accessible for everyone. Our CarStore brand is built on similar values, and it’s these shared brand principles which make this a perfect partnership.”
