Bonallack Trophy

The Bonallack Trophy is an amateur golf
competition on the model of the Ryder Cup
which opposes every two years a European team
and a team representing Asia/Pacific. The venue alternates between courses in Europe and Asia/Pacific. The 2010 competition in India was cancelled as a result of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano eruption in Iceland, which shut down European air space and isolated European players.
The first competition took place in 1998 in Perth, Australia.
