The most successful golf tournament for the shipping community, returns for its 7th year from 3-5 September at Costa Navarino, in Messinia.

After winning the Gold award at the 2020 Sports Marketing Awards, the best golf event in Greece and Cyprus is expected to bring together more than 80 leading shipping executives, forming 20 teams.

Participants will compete at a team level, in a shotgun scramble that will take place on Saturday, 4 September. Golfers will have the chance to play in the two signature 18-hole courses, The Dunes Course and The Bay Course, in an idyllic landscape full of centuries-old olive trees with stunning views of the Ionian Sea, the historic Bay of Navarino and the picturesque port of Pylos.

Teams have the opportunity to claim significant 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 “Longest Drive” and “Closest to the Pin” categories.

The tournament’s organiser Thanos Karantzias said he is excited to get back after running a successful tournament last year.

“After the highly successful and safe implementation of our event in 2020, in the Golf Course of Glyfada, with the realisation of the strict health measures we had set against the pandemic, we begin our planning in September, at Costa Navarino with the Greek Maritime Golf Event,” he said.
