Photos of Bordeaux event

I have placed 94 photos of the WAGA event in Bordeaux, France, on the website. To view these beautiful photos click on the album

They contain a mixture of the golfers, the final dinner and then some of the areas we visited after the event.

It was a great event, made better by the GM of the hotel, Henry Martinet and his staff.  Golf du Medoc Hotel and Spa is definitely a place to visit and just enjoy yourself in the Medoc area of France. If you have a comment about the tournament, please email it to me and I will have it published.

We are still accepting entries for Cairns, Sun City and Lake Taupo.

Planning is in progress for 2012 events with options on Mission Hills, China; Buenos Aires; Monterey and Gold Coast.

Happy golfing,

Brian Lassen; WAGA

The weather is perfect and both golfers and non-golfers are enjoying the French

ambience. The hotel is most comfortable all are enjoying their stay. Today, Wednesday, golfers

play The Vines course and non-golfers visit local vineyards and enjoy lunch.

The Vines course proved easier than the Chateau course and scores were higher. Best of the

day was Lynne Malone; Joy Sampson and Stanley Rothman who had 41 points each. Joanna Ambron  won a NTP as did Derek Gascoine.

Non-golfers returned from their vineyard visit and lunch in a quite relaxed mode.

The scores shown above indicate how close is the competition and play today at the

Chateau course will be tough: Weather is clear and warm. Final results will be on

the web-site later today.

The last day of competition was held on a cloudy and cool day. The NTP prizes went to Jim Smalley and Derek Gasgoine. Mal Conden from Australia had a hole in one on the 5th.

Winner on countback was Christine Beattie and Jack Schrandt was runner-up. All scores are shown above.

En-route to Bordeaux

After an early morning start, WAGA left on Jetstar for Sydney and then Qf to Jarkarta. Here we are for 6hrs waiting for connection to Dxb and the Cdg and then Bod…I think Jen and I will be a little weary by the time we arrive.

All is good I feel, no cancellations and weather appears kind. Scores will be on the website each day…

Happy golfing, Brian Lassen; WAGA

Bordeaux Golf Tour with WAGA – May 2011

May 2011 – France Golf Tour with WAGA Bordeaux 16 – 20 May 2011

The World Airline Golfing Alliance invites golfers and their partners to their Bordeaux, France tour in May 2011.

In association with the Golf du Medoc Hotel and Spa, this tour will
offer 3 games of golf, two wonderful dinners and for those that would rather tour than play golf, a memorable tour of Bordeaux with lunch and a separate day of visits to the major wineries of the area.

WAGA have toured France several times previously and have always found it to be good fun, good value and an event not to be missed. So plan your holiday, book those flights and come to Bordeaux in May 2011.
