The 3rd stage of the 2018 edition of the “En route pour 2018” trophy organized by Open Golf Club took place on the magnificent Alsace Golf Links course. The course had been particularly well prepared by David Abercrombie's team, the general manager of golf and the players from France, Germany and Switzerland were able to appreciate in particular the quality of the greens and fairways!

3 precision competitions as well as a Ladies drive competition and a Gentlemen drive competition also enhanced this competition with the traditional halfway house which allowed everyone to eat and regain their strength, all under very good weather conditions. Each stage of the trophy on the way to 2018 is also a qualifying event for a place in the final organized with Christian Cévaër on November 3 and 4 at the Golf National and a place to attend the Ryder Cup which will take place from September 27 to 30 is offered by Open Golf Club at each prize-giving ceremony!

Congratulations to the winning teams and in particular to the team of Franck Billiote (index 4,6) and Stéphane Casoli (index 21,6) who wins the 1er Net prize with 46 points and to the team of François Sancier (index7,6) and Jean Charles Duriaud (index 9,4) who won the 1er Gross price with the very good score of 37 points.
