The tournament will be played in the Poängbogey (Stableford) format, where players collect points on each hole based on their net score in relation to par. This format creates an enjoyable and inclusive competition where golfers of different levels can compete on equal terms.

Fun Golf Clinic – Beginners Welcome
Curious about golf? Alongside the tournament, we are pleased to offer a fun and social Golf Clinic for beginners and less experienced players.
Led by professional golf instructors, the clinic will last approximately 1.5 hours and introduce participants to all aspects of the game in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. Equipment and instruction are included, and the session may conclude with a light-hearted team competition.
The clinic is designed for all levels, making it the perfect opportunity to try golf for the first time together with colleagues, friends, or fellow members.
Participation fee: €36
Experience required: None – beginners are very welcome.
Whether you are competing on the course or discovering golf for the very first time, we look forward to celebrating midsummer together with you for an enjoyable and sociable afternoon!
