Next August 9 and 10 at Les Rousses, the Jura Golf Cup's will be born, a brand new golf and charity event with a bright future. 2 days, 2 golf courses, 2 formats: a powerful, user-friendly and innovative concept created by 2 passionate skiers, Vincent Gauthier-Manuel, Paralympic champion of alpine skiing and his accomplice John Michelin, Nordic trainer.

A concept that sees double!

> 2 creators: Vincent Gauthier-Manuel, Paralympic and world champion in alpine skiing, flag bearer of the French delegation last February in Sochi, and his 30-year-old friend (or just like), John Michelin, Nordic ski coach, both golfers of course.

> 2 days of competitions: Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 August 2014.

> 2 golf courses: the Jura Golf Cup's will take full advantage of the great originality of the Les Rousses Resort, which has 2 18-hole courses. The Saturday event will take place at the Golf du Mont Saint-Jean, that of Sunday at the Golf du Rochat.

> 2 formats: Scramble for 2 on Saturday (36 teams maximum); Stableford on Sunday (80 players max).

> 2 types of players: this new meeting is open to all licensed golfers (subject to availability of course), who will play in the company of less anonymous guests (see below), but just as passionate!

> 2 states of mind: (friendly) competition on the one hand, Jura conviviality and local spirit on the other!

> 2 beneficiary associations: this ultimately charitable event is organized in favor of the Vincent Team and MSC Events associations. The first is the Vincent Fan Club which is now opening up to the sponsorship and development of the next generation of disabled sports; the second is to provide material and technical support to young local sports prospects.

The stars announced: a beautiful Olympic plateau in perspective…
