Gary Player, winner of 9 Majors in his long career and renowned designer of golf courses, was last week visiting two of the most beautiful and exciting Italian golf courses, the Antognolla Golf Club and the Royal Golf La Bagnaia, both present in our Experiences in Umbria and Tuscany.
Many people do not know this, especially abroad, but the Italian golf system is excellent in environmental sustainability. A result that was possible thanks to a far-sighted path that began in the 80s, demonstrating how the problem of sustainability was considered in Italian golf well before it became the topic widely discussed today.
Last Friday, April 30, the Italian stage of the Alps Tour at the beautiful Antognolla. A really exciting course and for this reason already present in one of the most interesting Experience Italy4golf.
If the exact origins of golf are not entirely known on an international level, let alone those of golf in Italy! On the other hand, it is possible to tell its story through certain key moments, cult figures and locations in which golf appeared halfway between the 19th and the 20th centuries.
Joakim Björkman won the 2018 Italian Open for the Disabled – Sanofi Genzyme with a splendid on-course performance at the Golf Club Crema Resort, only a few kilometres from Milan in the marvellous rural setting of the Podere d’Ombriano.
As from today, Franciacorta Golf Club and Gardagolf Country Club are part of the Italy4golf network!
We are very proud to have initiated a collaboration with these two important Italian golf courses and together with the Matilde di Canossa Golf Club and the Villafranca Golf Club Le Vigne, they bring prestige to our network, contributing towards making it increasingly consolidated.
The 42nd edition of the Ryder Cup started on 25th September 2018 at the Le Golf National course in Paris. The Ryder Cup, irrefutably the most famous and exciting golfing event in the world will this year see Italian Francesco Molinari on the field, after his amazing victory at the British Open.
Is it due to the advent of the Ryder Cup in Rome, because Molinari won the British Open or perhaps because something is finally happening in the world of Italian golf?
The Turin-born golfer made history as the first Italian to win a Major golf championship, the British Open in Carnoustie, Scotland. Francesco Molinari, who came very close to achieving such an important result last year when he came second in the PGA Championship, finished the Open Championship, perhaps the most prestigious of all four main golf events, with a flawless eight-under-par total of 276.
The 51st edition of the Rino Golf Show is being held on this Saturday, 2nd June 2018. An exceptional event open to everybody and organized by the famous PGA master Rino De Gori.
