More than 100 leading executives from the maritime industry will play at the two new 18-hole signature courses and cross their golf clubs to win the top three positions in the overall standings, whereas special awards will be given to individual players who will achieve the best scores in the Longest Drive and Closest to the Pin categories. The final results will materialize after the completion of the event’s second day of competition on Saturday, September 10.
Golf & Maritime Industry join forces for a good cause. The Greek Maritime Golf Event is a tournament that is always distinguished for its social work, amongst other things. This year, the leading golf event will strengthen through its actions the Non-Profit Company HOPEgenesis. More specifically, during this year’s award ceremony to the winners, and winning teams respectively, on Saturday, September 10, participants will have the opportunity to directly contribute with their desired amount at the designated area. The total amount to be collected will be given to the Non-Profit Company HOPEgenesis, operating in the health and social welfare sector, which aspires to reverse the trend of declining birth rates in Greece with the aim of providing complete medical care to women, from the moment they become pregnant until the day of their birth.
