Golf News joins the Virgin Swingers Club!
Golf News has become the official UK media partner of Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Swingers, the airline’s loyalty golf programme. Now in its ninth season, the unique online golf league provides Flying Club members with the opportunity to test their golfing skills against likeminded golfers on a global platform. Club Golfers from Europe and the Rest of the World compete in their own leagues entering scores from club competitions and matches against other Swingers, with the ultimate aim of climbing the leaderboard and qualifying for either the European or Rest of the World team in an end of season ‘Ryder Cup’ style final. This year the final will once again take place overseas in November, and it will offer qualifiers the ‘money can’t buy’ excitement that team competition provides in abundance - whether it’s holing the winning putt for your team or taking three out of the bunker to cost your team a vital point. What’s more, if you are not a club golfer and don’t have an official handicap, but still like to hit the course when you can, there are additional ‘fun’ leagues where you can earn a Swingers’ handicap and also have the chance to qualify for the Final.

There is no other golf programme which provides as much variety and value for its members as Swingers, and we are delighted that our new partnership with Golf News, the UK’s No.1 free golf publication, will see our unique competition promoted to the UK’s amateur golfers.” As media partner, Golf News will be featuring monthly updates on Flying Club Swingers.
