PAUL Blackwell, from Rugby, has received a wildcard entry into the first-ever Blitz Golf West Midlands competition.
The event features professional golfers, celebrities and golf influencers with players competing for a £10,000 first prize.
Blackwell will play in a 24-strong field and enters the competition with a 7.2 handicap.
Golf enthusiasts voted for Blackwell to appear in the event which takes place at Gaudet Luce Golf Club in Droitwich.
Digital content creator Blackwell has more than 14,000 followers on Instagram.
The opening round features only six holes with scores reset before the field is cut down through further knockout stages.
The unique format combines three progressively shorter rounds, with each cut more difficult to make, leading to the ultimate sudden death hole.
The action revolves around a central stadium hole that is in play continuously with action throughout the event.
Players who finish second to fourth will all receive £1,000 in prize money.
Former footballer Jamie O’Hara features as a celebrity player in the competition.
Blackwell will play on hole two alongside pro golfer Tom Power-Horan, former European number one long driver Owen Meeds and advanced PGA professional Hannah Bowen.
The event takes place on Sunday, June 21 with the action to take place from 3pm to 6pm.
