The unique nine hole, two flag tournament at Celtic Manor. A stellar field is expected, featuring Graeme McDowell, Paul Casey, Ian Poulter, Paula Creamer and John Daly.

Six months after hosting the Ryder Cup, the Celtic Manor Resort at Newport is to host a new version of golf. Organisers hope PowerPlay Golf hope could transform the sport in the way that Twenty20 has done for cricket. The nine-hole game features an extra flag on each green with which golfers can try to score double points. "We're not trying to replace 72-hole traditional golf," said co-founder Peter McEvoy ahead of an inaugural competition at the resort on 30 May. Mr McEvoy told BBC Radio Wales that the game, involving 12 competitors, had been designed after research suggested people were avoiding playing golf because it took too long. The new format has been trialled in 30 countries at 400 golf clubs, he said.
