Ford’s partnership with Les Mielles has been very successful and their ongoing Hole-in-One sponsorship is proving extremely popular. Iain Carse, Managing Director of Ford in the Channel Islands, said: “It is a pleasure to work with Les Mielles in staging what we believe to be the biggest and best Open in the Channel Islands. It is due to the great teams in both organisations that makes the event such a success. It was particularly pleasing to see a junior coming through to win the Stableford event and shows what great opportunities there are for junior golfers in the Channel Islands".
