<p>The Pro-Am event itself offers the very best in food and travel experiences, centring around Oslo, Norway, with the chance to play on two of Norway’s finest courses, <strong><a style="color: #9f8500;" href="https://cp.golf/3SR5iwP" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miklagard Golf Club</a></strong> and <strong><a style="color: #9f8500;" href="https://cp.golf/3UG1b8d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kongsvinger Golf Club</a></strong>, while staying at the five-star <strong><a style="color: #9f8500;" href="https://cp.golf/3Cb3PM1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lily Country Club</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Following on from the Pro-Am itself is then the optional add-on to venture north, to the Arctic Circle, and discover one of the world’s truly incredible places to play golf. The Lofoten Islands have been buzzing in the travel scene in recent years, and rightly so: the purity of the air and sea, plus the mind-blowing natural backdrop are irresistible.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Stephen Gallacher will captain Team Europe at the 2023 Junior Ryder Cup, while Ryder Cup Europe and the European Golf Association have today confirmed the selection process for the European junior team.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Scot, a four-time DP World Tour winner, was part of the European team that defeated the United States to retain the Ryder Cup in 2014, winning 16 1/2 to 11 1/2 at Gleneagles Hotel.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Six boys and six girls will take on the USA in Rome from September 26-28, 2023, with the first two days of the Junior Ryder Cup being played at Golf Nazionale before the decisive singles matches are held at Marco Simone Golf &amp; Country Club, the Ryder Cup venue, on the eve of the 44th edition of the biennial contest between Europe and the United States.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Three boys and three girls will earn a place on the European Junior Ryder Cup team through a season-long ranking system, which has been organised by the European Golf Association, while the remaining six players will be selected by <strong>Gallacher</strong>, the European Junior Ryder Cup Captain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Scot set up the <strong>Stephen Gallacher</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> to help and encourage junior golfers in Scotland and he will now lead the European junior team in Rome as he continues to inspire the next generation of golfers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“I am absolutely delighted to be named Junior European Ryder Cup Captain for 2023,” said <strong>Gallacher</strong>. “It’s a privilege to be able to lead a team of the best juniors in Europe against America in Rome.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Playing the final day at Marco Simone will be a fantastic experience for our players who get the opportunity to compete in front of Ryder Cup crowds on the Ryder Cup course for the first time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“I’m really looking forward to getting to some events during the year and working with the most exciting future talent in Europe.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Players will earn points for the Rankings based on their finishing position in selected elite amateur events in 2023 and these points will be allocated using the World Amateur Golf Ranking system. The qualification process will end following The R&amp;A Girls’ and Boys’ Amateur Championships on August 20, 2023.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Boys and girls who are citizens of a European country as defined by the International Golf Federation’s Nationality Policy, under 18 years of age on January 1, 2023, and who are not enrolled to play college golf in USA during 2023 are eligible to participate in the 2023 Junior Ryder Cup.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Junior Ryder Cup has produced a plethora of golfing stars and once again in 2023 the best male and female junior amateurs from Europe and the USA go head-to-head in the mixed event.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Rory McIlroy</strong> and <strong>Nicolas Colsaerts</strong>, the recently-appointed European Ryder Cup Vice-Captain, both triumphed in the event before also winning The Ryder Cup, while <strong>Suzanne Peterson</strong> and <strong>Carlota Ciganda</strong> both succeeded as amateurs before lifting the Solheim Cup.</p>
