On this Easter Sunday, 124 players met on the Rigenée golf course to participate in the 2 nd stage of the 2017 edition of the En route pour 2018 trophy organized by Open Golf Club. Christophe Descampe, the general manager of the golf course and his team had magnificently prepared the course with, in particular, very good greens and very interesting flag positions, even some new positions! And to the delight of golfers, 3 precision competitions and 2 drive competitions enhanced this qualifying competition for a place in the final organized on October 21 and 22 at the Golf National, on the course of the albatross and with the presence of Christian Cévaër.
