It was on one of the most renowned courses on the Côte d'Azur that the 1st edition of the new TEAM CUP competition, organized by OPEN GOLF CLUB.

The 74 participants were able to compete under a blazing sun and try to win their place for the grand final! As a reminder, each stage of the TEAM CUP is also a qualifying stage for a place in the final organized with Christian Cévaër on October 26 and 27 at the Yvelines golf course and at the National golf course!

The players were also able to appreciate the numerous contests organized for them (3 mixed precision contests and the Ladies and Gentlemen's Drive contest). The Team Cup was a great success for its 1st stage, partly due to the champagne animation hosted by one of the competition partners: Pommery.
