Open Championship

I have known Seth Underwood for 40 years & finally came to Bulgaria for the Seniors in May, I enjoyed it so much I came back for the main championship in September! Beautiful country, great golf courses & such a well run professional tournament. A special mention for Savina & Kosio.

I first came to play the BG Open in 2006 as a young player from my club in Sudbury London with a member who was living in Sofia at the time. 12 years later I have made an effort to return as much as possible having missed 2 or 3 years I think. Playing in the championship as a scratch player I have seen the international entries grow along with standard of play & of course still looking to win it one of these years!

I have been coming to Bulgaria to play the Senior championship for a number of years , 3 years ago I mentioned to the General secretary that the course was starting to play long for my tender age although I still play off 6 & the following year they introduced the “Legends Championship’ ! They treat us so well during the week & are always looking to improve year on year listening to feedback from the players.

I first visited Bulgaria in 2016 at Pravets , had a amazing time , such welcome & hospitality brought us back again in 2017 to Pirin in the mountains & 3rd time 2018 back to Pravets. The BGA run a very professional event & at the same time make everyone feel comfortable , making new golfing friends in the last 3 years spending an enjoyable week together. Really worth the long flight from Mauritius!

I have been coming to Bulgaria for 10 years & have witnessed the growth in popularity & being able to meet up with Friends made over the years. I cannot say enough about how well the event is run with such a small team of people.
