Golf's very own Elvis impersonator will be refusing to 'Surrender' when he attempts to secure a hat-trick of appearances in the grand final of Europe's biggest pro-am.
Scarborough South Cliff pro Tony Skingle, as renowned for his performances in a white rhinestone suit as he is with his clubs, hopes to be singing 'The Wonder of You' to amateur partner Duncan Woodward-Hay at the end of their round in the PGA National Pro-Am Championship at York's Fulford Golf Club on Wednesday June 25.
Skingle and his 20-handicap partner will be one of more than 70 teams in the field looking to win an all expenses trip to the Sirene Beach & Hotel Resort and Antalya Golf Club, which is staging the grand final at the end of the year.
Having played in the 1995 and 2004 grand finals, Skingle would love to reach a third, especially having just savoured this year's venue.
"I've just returned from the Sirene Hotel having been on holiday there with the family and it was just fabulous," he said.
"I played both courses there and it's like you're in a garden. They're just great courses and it would be lovely to go back."
But Skingle admits that with just one place on offer, qualifying is tough, but believes he and Woodward-Hay could muster up a serious challenge.
However, Skingle will draw on his past experiences to avoiding piling the pressure on to his amateur.
"It's all about relaxing your amateur because it's nerve-racking having your name announced and playing with a couple of pros," said the 45-year-old.
"A lot of amateurs aren't used to that at all. But you can't go to these events with any expectations I aim to make it a good day out for them.
"If you reach the final, as I have done, it's great to be able to take your amateur away on what is a free holiday. That's a great prize and to be the pro that can give them that is something special, but with just one spot on offer it's not the easiest of tasks."
Hexham's Ben West came close to achieving that aim last year on his debut in the tournament with amateur Phil Reay - only to cruelly miss out on countback after dropping a shot two from home.
He returns a year on with 71-year-old Roy Cumisky, a 16 handicapper, looking to erase the memories of last year.
"It was very disappointing," said West, who returned to the UK last year after five years working in the Bahamas.
"We both bogeyed the 17th so we dropped a shot and coming down the last we could see the leaderboard and that we were level.
"When we came off I thought we'd lost out on countback because most of our scoring was on the front nine and when I asked that was the case.
"It was disappointing for my partner because they really only get a once in lifetime shot at this while we pros have a chance every year.
"But I'm going back this year with a good partner who certainly doesn't look his age as he's the fittest 71-year-old I've met.
"He's a got a few shots on the day, so let's see what happens."
West's misery was shared with Ganton pro Gary Brown, who also missed out on countback.
Brown, who won the tournament in 2004, is partnered by five handicapper Daniel Newbould.
A strong field also includes 2002 finalist John Oates (Hallowes), Paul Carman (Huddersfield) who finished third in the 2004 final and past PGA Cup players Michael Nesbit (Westerhope), Graeme Bell (Eaglescliffe) and Gordon Townhill (Brough).
The tournament, which attracts more than 100,000 entries, is now in its 24th staging and has been held in Portugal, Spain, Grand Bahamas and Sardinia prior to Turkey last year.
This year's grand final, played over the PGA Sultan course at Antalya Golf Club, has a professional prize fund of £30,000 and is being played from November 30 to December 4.
