A total of about 100 SPIEF participants and guests from 9 countries took part in the tournament. In addition, about 70 people attended two master classes by Maria Verchenova.
The tournament was opened by Viktor Khristenko, the president of the Golf Association of Russia. “It is very important for us that the golf tournament has become one of the sports traditions of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Golf is not only a wonderful sport, but also a special environment, a special atmosphere that favors any kind of contact: personal, business, sporting, cultural. Cooperation with the Roscognress Foundation is an important step for developing golf in Russia. In addition to the tournaments, itis an opportunity to present investment projects related to golf and promote golf clubs. Now this option is being considered in Vladivostok, where the course is being built, and where the Eastern Economic Forum is held,” said Viktor Khristenko.
