After several months of work in preparation for the 2018 Ryder Cup, the Albatros Golf National course will reopen on May 1. On the eve of this event, all licensees are invited by the French Golf Federation to a large festive operation, Onz'bouge.

20160414_OnzBougeGolfNational_01The funding model for the 2018 Ryder Cup is based on a clever mix between a public-private partnership but also and above all on the support of licensees. A model that has been qualified, by rights holders, innovative and decisive for the success of the French candidacy.

As the FFGolf prepares to remove the last barriers that lead to the start of hole number 1 of the Albatross, Pascal Grizot, President of the 2018 Ryder Cup Commission absolutely wanted to thank all license holders in a concrete way: " The day when the Extraordinary General Assembly of the FFGolf voted overwhelmingly for the contrib> on of licensees to our Ryder Cup project, it was a turning point in the history of French golf. So the day the Albatross displayed its new clothes in the face of the world, it was obvious to us that the licensees had to be among the privileged. We had to offer them the first. This is why we have decided to organize an event dedicated to them ”.

Onz'bouge was born. A name whose here is the meaning. If the Albatros du Golf National has not undergone any major changes in terms of its original design, a hole today has a particularly attractive new face. This is the 11.
