New participant record at the Sparkasse Golf Trophy

The traditional Sparkasse Golf Trophy is becoming increasingly popular: over 130 golf enthusiasts did not miss the final tournament last Saturday. For the first time, the venue was the Verona Golf Club, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.

Players of all ages gathered on the 18-hole course for this tournament, which had a few special features to offer: It started with the “Shotgun” cannon start, meaning all participants start at the same time from different golf holes. The Hole In One was also exceptional: on hole number 9 you could win a sporty and environmentally friendly electric car, namely an “Audi Q8 e-tron” in the form of a Sparkasse car long-term rental. Unfortunately, no one managed to complete the hole in just one shot, even if they managed to get to within 1 meter.

The demanding course, which took just over 5 hours to complete, required precise play and risk-taking players. In the gross ranking, Luca Leoni (Verona Golf Club) took first place, and in the first net category, Alberto Azzali (Verona Golf Club) came first. In the second net category, however, Veit Angerer (Vinschgau Golf Club) won. In the 3rd net category, Cesare Dall'Ara (Petersberg Golf Club) took first place. In the “Nearst to the Pin” and “Longest Drive” categories, Roberto Bertazzon (Villa Condulmer Golf Club) and Luca Leoni performed best, respectively.

In addition to the sporting competition, which is not primarily about physical strength and speed, but rather about coordination and concentration, social exchange also comes into its own. The Sparkasse Golf Trophy is not just about success on the green, but also about socializing after the game. At the end of the day, the highlight of this exclusive and popular golf event was a dinner with prize distribution and a nice gift raffle with great non-cash prizes to end the tournament in a cozy atmosphere.
