REGESTA TROPHY, BETWEEN CHALLENGE AND GREEN CONSCIOUSNESS
For the fourth consecutive year, lovers of the green were able to compete in the Regesta Golf Cup. In mid-June, some 80 entrants, including amateur players, friends and enthusiasts, measured themselves at the Regesta Golf Cup Tournament on the 18 holes of one of northern Italy’s most picturesque courses. The stableford, single competition formula has become a ritual appointment for Tiger Woods amateurs who love the sport: clean air, lots of greenery and healthy competition are the ingredients that gather an increasingly large parterre with each edition.
Until last year, the competition was held on the Jack Nicklaus II course in Arzaga, in the beautiful setting of Calvagese della Riviera. This year, for the first time, the tournament was played at the Verona Golf Club in Sommacampagna; a landscape framed by delicate hills rising to the west of the city of Romeo and Juliet, where the Custoza vineyards are composed and poetic rows, in an area not far from Lake Garda.
The Verona Golf Club facility is in fact included in an ambitious environmental certification program called “Committed to Green,” a European project supported by the Italian Golf Federation, which aims to provide guidelines for a careful and correct environmental policy in the courses of this sport. The eco-friendly criteria and the awarding of the recognition are periodically audited: in Europe out of 14 nations only 19 clubs, including Verona’s, have been awarded the green flag, the coveted recognition.
Thus, Regesta’s involvement with the world of sports, in which some of the values with which the management systems company operates, such as a passion for challenge, demonstration of personal talent and the ability to focus on goals, continues.
