MyGolf SA

MyGolf SA, the Swiss golf events organizer (former name I-COMM SA) founded in 1994, MyGolf creates and organizes tournaments, competitions, clinics and gala dinners with a difference.

The objective of MyGolf is to hold unforgettable “bespoke” events by giving its participants and sponsors a wide range of possibilities within the context of “themed” day or evening.

Below is an example that MyGolf created and organised The IGOLF Environment Tour Event for the International Golf and Life Foundation in September 2009 at the Lavaux Golf Course at the Lac de Bret in Switzerland:

 
 
IGOLF Environment Tour Event, September 16, 2009.
At the Golf de Lavaux, Puidoux, Switzerland

IGOLF held its first Environment Tour Event at the Golf de Lavaux, adjoining the incomparable hillside vineyards on the Coast of Lac Léman. The vineyards and the surrounding countryside are a protected UNESCO Heritage Site. Golf de Lavaux is the first IGOLF Laureate Course in Switzerland (see the Laureate Course section of the website).

Precarious rain clouds threatened the event, but about an hour before the first tee-off, the sky transformed itself into the beautiful blue for which this region is renown and the temperature remained that of a perfect Indian Summer all day long.

Aside from the collegial greensome team format competition, the 40 pioneering participants were treated to unique tee gifts, including a one-liter SIGG ECO-LOGICAL aluminium bottle, WILSON Eco golf balls and wooden tees from ESPACE GOLF. The GIROUD VINS Champagne Bar provided a perfect 19th hole finish to the competition. The day was capped off by a sumptuous meal attended by about 60 players and guests.

The highlight of the event was the planting of a maple sapling just off of the fairway of the third practice hole by over twenty young juniors, supervised by the Head Greenskeeper Richard AuCoin. The tree will carry a plaque commemorating the special day.

A special thanks our sponsors, especially to our main sponsor: ci-square, developers of the IOGI software and to Wilson Staff, our equipment sponsor and to the sixteen hole sponsors whose generosity and vision made the event such a special day.

MyGolf has scheduled already 20 in 2012 – please see the our events page for details.


IGOLF – The International Golf and Life Foundation

At this time, IGOLF has over 50 Laureate Courses which are affiliated to its program and ideals. In the words of the IGOLF Chairman, Paul Sochaczewski, “IGOLF has something every club wants but none can buy.” (By the way you can read many of Paul’s articles in the GorillaGolfBlog.com Distant Greens section under Travel).

What is IGOLF?
IGOLF is an independent, non-profit, international organization headquartered in Switzerland. We promote environmental and social responsibility in golf.

IGOLF’s three Councils include global experts, other non-profit organizations with similar objectives, and corporations committed to IGOLF’s Vision: A healthy, sustainable golf experience.

Why was IGOLF created?
IGOLF was established by a group of people who are passionate about golf and equally passionate about nature conservation and social development.

We have noted that sometimes golf is criticized (occasionally with justification) for being detrimental to nature. We believe that a well-managed golf course can be a substantial force for good. A good golf course can act as a nature reserve for wildlife, reduce carbon from the atmosphere, filter air and water and reduce urban temperatures.

Also, a good golf course enhances the community in which it is located.

What does IGOLF do?
We strive to develop a situation where golfers enjoy their sport in an atmosphere of environmental and social responsibility, with appreciation of the health, spiritual, cultural and historic aspects of the sport, and in which golf course operators recognize their responsibility to maintain and enhance environmental and social values.

The IGOLF program is based on five interlocking thematic areas:

  1. Laureate Courses
Acknowledge courses which exemplify environmental and social responsibility.
  2. Sharing Knowledge
Exchange information among golf course operators about best practices; develop new educational and training programs.
  3. IGOLF People
Promote responsible individual behavior and golf etiquette, primarily through the “Share the green passion” program.
  4. Outreach
Spread the message of sustainability via the media.
  5. Awards
Reward excellence through a series of awards.
