It is on the magnificent course of the Albatross du Golf National that took place the 2nd stage of the 2018 edition of the “On the road to 2018” trophy organized by Open Golf Club. This course which hosts the French Open every year but which will host the Ryder Cup next September had been very well prepared by the teams of Alejandro Reyes, the superintendent and the players were able to appreciate the vertiginous speed of the greens! Four precision competitions as well as a Ladies drive competition and a Gentlemen drive competition enhanced this competition, all with 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 at each stage, a place to attend the Ryder Cup which will take place from 27 to September 30th is offered in the draw by Open Golf Club.
