In Aix-les-Bains, golf week is not in its first ranges, it has been over 25 years since each month of July it brings together around friendly competitions of many fans of the little white ball.

20140521_rockngolfAlthough assured of its success, the Golf of Aix-les-Bains wanted this year to put a breath of daring and modernity in the cogs so well oiled of its event. Supported in this project by the skills and creativity of three regional players in the fields of golf, music and events, the Golf of Aix-les-Bains will be, from July 20 to 26, the scene of the first ROCK'N'GOLF!

Detonating the mixture? Not really if you consider that sport and music are two areas that have always united crowds around common values. Maurice Suissa, one of the three instigators of ROCK'N'GOLF and manager of Louis Bertignac, has already demonstrated its harmony by creating in 2012 the Rock'N'Pétanque event which put 74th street in Manhattan in Provençal time.

It was enough for Cyril Dethyre, founder of the company Les Bonnes Etoiles, and Fanny Pontabry, the band golfer and manager of the company Green Tonic, to offer to develop the concept with golf to demonstrate a fun practice, accessible and open to all. The trio explains: "Our leitmotif: break conventions while respecting codes because if ROCK'N'GOLF is thought of as an innovative event, it is above all an event that makes sense".

And this is how golfers registered in the various competitions throughout the week will hear rhythmic music chords on their golf shots at the driving range, discover a piano on the edge of a green and many other surprises, during that the general public can participate in initiations or different golf workshops, always in music, and that all these little people can meet in the evening around dinners and concerts by recognized national artists and members of the local scene.

If on the Rock side, the programming will not be revealed until the end of May, on the Golf side, it is Gwladys Nocera, current n ° 2 in Europe, who as godmother, will put the skeptics in tune for so that in the end, that week on the Aix-les-Bains golf course, everyone is swinging in unison!
