The Challenge Series 2013 - Episode Eight

This week The Challenge Series goes behind the scenes in France as the next generation of World class golfers gather to compete for the inaugural Le Vaudreuil Golf Challenge.

It’s a chance to meet the latest in a line of Gallic success stories; Victor Riu. Victorious in Switzerland a fortnight earlier, the 28 year-old delivers an insight into life as a touring pro.

Alongside all the action from that dramatic event we’re showcasing all the highlights from the Finnish Challenge, held an hour north of Helsinki.

Leading the home charge there is Tapio Pulkkanen. Widely regarded as the hottest prospect in Finnish golf and recognisable from a distance for the unique trilby hat he regularly wears.

During some rare downtime from competition the 23 year old invited our cameras along on a shopping spree, as he set about sourcing some new headgear.

Speaking of hot prospects there’s also an introduction to a young South African with a bright future – Dylan Fritteli. Ultra-competitive on and off the golf course, we join him as his caddy challenges him to a race at the local karting track.

Tune in to see if Dylan can make it across the Finnish line. Finnish, get it? Brilliant.

Scheduled for broadcast throughout Europe from September 3rd. Distribution details attached; check local listings for further information.
