Les Gets Golf Course
If you're arriving in Les Gets this weekend, what better way to end your first day on the slopes on the Portes du Soleil than a quick round of après-ski snow golf?
Street golfing started in the 90's in Germany and then started appearing in other European countries and in America. Les Gets gives it a new twist by playing on snowy streets from 5:30pm on Sunday, March 6th. It's the second time the contest has been staged.
Regular golf rules apply and golfers will to play in the centre of town and on a snowy golf course on a six hole golf course. There are two players per team, each team starts at different holes and there's the chance for beginners to take an introductory course.
What makes it an even more original competition is that it will take place in the evening with hollow golf balls which means they move slightly more slowly and the 'greens' will be lit up. Hot soup will be serving hot soup after the game.
"This winter competition is a fun way for golfers to discover a new way of playing." said a statement from the Association du Golf des Gets. For more info and to register email info@golf-lesgets.cominfoi
