Street Golf Hits the Champs Elysees
Golf in France is generally a sport for the elite, but an organisation known as Le 19ème Trou (the 19th Hole) aims to change this conception. This group of young sports fans have invented a concept known as Street Golf, and organise events and tournaments, including this Saturday the Paris Pro Tour Master Classic ’10.
Teeing off from the Place de la Concorde at 12.30, the competition will involve 100 players from all over Europe in teams of five who will play a round of nine holes on a course which will only be revealed at the last minute.
At 8.30pm the evening, a party has been organised at Point Ephémère, an art cafe and music venue in the 19th arrondissement (pictured), where the trophies will be awarded, and the night will continue with sounds from DJs from around Europe.
