The top golf tournament for the shipping community “Greek Maritime Golf Event“, following its four successful years and its great appeal in the field of Greek and global shipping industry, returns for the 5th consecutive year at Costa Navarino during 8-9 June 2019.
Golf enthusiasts activated in the Greek shipping industry will have the chance to compete in the two signature 18-hole courses, The Dunes Course and The Bay Course, in a landscape full of centuries-old olive trees with stunning views of the Ionian Sea and the historic Bay of Navarino.
Participants will form teams of four golfers and compete at both team and individual levels in a shotgun scramble that will take place on Saturday, June 8th. Teams participating will claim the prizes for the top three positions in the overall standings; while special awards will be given to individual players who will achieve the best scores in the special categories “Longest Drive“and”Closest to the Pin“.
The 5th Greek Maritime Golf Event will reinforce the union “Mazi gia to Paidi” (“Together for Children”) in two ways:
a) During the shotgun scramble, to be held on Saturday, June 8th, morning, players participating in the tournament can offer the amount they wish to support the good cause of the event. Specifically, golfers will be able to buy up to 3 extra efforts at the 10 hole of The Dunes Course.
b) During this year’s award ceremony participants will have the opportunity to contribute directly the amount they wish at the specially designed area.
The amount to be collected in total will be given to the union of non-profit NGOs “Mazi gia to Paidi” that works since 1996 and supports more than 30.000 children, on an annual basis, including more than 10.000 direct beneficiaries. Its main aim is to support children and young people in need, particularly those facing poverty, social exclusion, domestic violence, chronic diseases, mental or physical disabilities or the sickness or death of an immediate family member.
The “Greek Maritime Golf Event“, is organized by Golf Events 18, an initiative of the recognized Greek PGA golfers, Mr. Panagiotis and Mr. Thanos Karantzias. The top golf tournament is exclusively addressed to distinguished executives of the Greek shipping community.
