Taking up its famous unique and innovative format, in 6-hole match play, the Beachcomber Golf Cup is evolving this year by accepting all doubles: mixed of course but also female and male, to allow everyone to participate and try their luck.

The aim is to offer clubs that have joined the concept the greatest freedom of organization. Some are setting up a knockout competition, where the pairs will compete this summer to qualify for the final. Others opt for a group model of 4 teams, which guarantees them to offer a minimum of 3 matches of 6 holes to each duo and allows to start the competition by bringing together all the competitors on the same day.

Antoine Robin, co-founder of come # together, the organizing company, justifies these choices: “One of the main obstacles to the practice of amateur golf is the lack of time. The 6-hole format allows you to play quickly at the end of the day or to chain several matches in the same day. Team match play is also a much more fun and stimulating way to play the sport. "

Usually launched in April, qualifying has been extended until the end of September to allow clubs to organize matches calmly despite the upheaval in their schedule.

Three highlights

The Beachcomber Golf Cup, en route to Mauritius still takes place in three phases:

• From June to September = a regional qualification in around thirty clubs, spread throughout France to open up to the greatest number of licensees.
• October 12 = a final on the prestigious Saint-Germain course (78) will bring together the winning teams from the selection organized in their club. The “Champions League” type formula (in groups of 4) creates a dramatic atmosphere on this exceptional day.
• From November 12 to 15 = A Grand Final in Mauritius for the 4 best teams at the end of the final.

The island of the Indian Ocean is a particularly popular destination for golfers. The Beachcomber Resorts & Hotels group offers 4 golf resorts:

• Le Trou aux Biches and Le Canonnier in the North, around the Mont Choisy le Golf course
• Paradise and Dinarobin in the South, around the course of the Paradis Golf Club.

It is within the magnificent Trou aux Biches Beachcomber Resort & Spa and on the course of the very recent golf course of Mont Choisy that the participants in the Grand Final will have the pleasure of making their way to victory. And to complete this exceptional experience, golfers will have the pleasure of sharing their passion with Julien Xanthopoulos. The former professional player and consultant for the Canal + group will be the sponsor of the event and will provide practitioners with his talent and expertise during clinics that are necessarily unforgettable for the participants.

The Beachcomber Golf Cup is also supported by Mont Choisy le Golf, Callaway Golf, Under Armor, Jabra, Le Figaro Golf, Golf Magazine, and Swing-feminin.com.
