Alex James will look to use his extensive knowledge of the Royal St David's course when the Ryder Cup Wales 2010 Welsh Open PGA Championship kicks off there on August 5.
The 27-year-old has spent the last four years working towards his professional qualification at the North Wales club and believes the fact he knows the course inside out will be a significant advantage.
"I've been based here for almost four years so I know it very well," he said. "I think that will really work in my favour and give me a big advantage over the rest of the field because just knowing the lines off the tees and knowing which spots to avoid will help a lot."
James is very pleased with how he has been playing this season and is looking forward to stamping his authority on his own backyard.
"I've had a couple of wins in the North Wales Alliance and I was the leading qualifier for Manchester Open," he said.
"I've got through most of the qualifiers for the Order of Merit events so it's been a good season for me and I've been playing really well.
"I'm making my Challenge Tour debut this week at the Vale of Glamorgan which is great but I only got the call yesterday so it's all been a bit of a rush organising it and I was supposed to be playing somewhere else this week so I've had to change the plans around.
I'm sure I will be nervous but I'm looking forward to it."
North Wales Golf Club's Matthew Tottey is another player looking to continue his fine form at Royal St David's.
Tottey is currently 36th in the North Region's Order of Merit and is relishing playing the impressive course.
"You look to win every tournament you play in and this one's no different," he said.
"I know the course very well, I've grown up playing links courses so it should suit me. I played a practice round there the other day and it's looking great. They've moved a couple of the tees around and I'm looking forward to it.
"I'm playing pretty well at the minute. I've been playing a lot of pro-ams and shooting one or two under every round so it's nothing spectacular but pretty steady and no problems.
"I've done well in Wales over the last few years. I came second in the Welsh Open Young PGA Professional Championship a couple of years running and did OK this year.
"I was second going into the last round at Anglesey but had had a bad second day and fell back down the field. Hopefully that won't happen this time."
Rob Holt, Chief Executive of Ryder Cup Wales, said: "Ryder Cup Wales are delighted to be supporting this event in North Wales, the second of our three PGA events in the area with the Young PGA Professional Championship in Anglesey earlier in the year. Our partnership with the PGA allows us to showcase some of the real gems that Wales has to offer and Royal St David's is a wonderful example of this with its championship links course set against a stunning backdrop."
