Nordic Open Golf 2023

28 Feb

The 60 players geared up to the Nordic Open Golf at The Els Club, Dubai on Friday 24th February! A great day with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. The Swedish Business Councils hostesses, Christina, Helena and Johanna were honored to welcome the golfers wearing the Swedish designer J.Lindeberg golf dresses during the day, sponsored by eGolf Megastore.

With Polestar as the main sponsor, each player received their tournament shirt and branded Polestar golf balls in a goodie bag, as well as a bottle of Tetra Pak water and other great gifts from our sponsors.

Players enjoyed lunch at the courtyard while networking as well as practicing at the driving range before Upandrunning performed the important stretching prior to the game. What a group of flexible players we had...!

The shotgun tee off started at 1 pm. The 14 hole sponsors of the day created a great vibe on the course, including Polestar offering a weekend test drive in a Polestar 2 MY23 Long range Dual motor, Centaurus Yachts offering a Hole-in-One prize of a luxury yacht trip and many other activities that took place on the course. When the players got back My Dental Clinic sponsored the exciting putting competition.

With great energy and a happy crowd the awards dinner kicked off with all the players and their guests who enjoyed some Swedish food, raffle and great live music.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AND SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
