MULLET BAY:--- The St Maarten Golf Association SMGA started preparations for the 23rd annual St. Maarten Open Golf Tournament that will take place on Saturday and Sunday April 18 and 19, 2015 at the Mullet Bay Golf Course.
The last couple of years the St. Maarten Open attracted a large contingent of local players from St. Maarten and St. Martin, as well as some of the most talented and highly competitive golfers from our neighboring islands like, Anguilla, St. Lucia, Nevis, Curacao and Guadeloupe as well as players from Canada, United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Last year a record of 101 players participated in the 36 holes stroke play tournament and the SMGA has high hopes to top that number this year.
This two day tournament is made possible due to our year round major contributors Mullet Bay Resort and Golf Course and B&C Beverages, combined with the tremendous annual support and sponsorships the SMGA received from the St. Maarten Tourist Office as well as a huge amount of local and international businesses.
As always, the net proceeds from this event will benefit multiple local community organizations. From recent Opens, donations have been made to organizations including: LAB Sports Academy, the Generation New Status STM Band, No Kidding with our Kids Foundation, Imbali Dance School, the I Can Foundation, Mental Health Foundation, Key to Freedom, Repair of Broken Walls Community, Art Saves Lives Foundation and in addition the St. Maarten Golf Association Junior Golf program which teaches kids the basics of the game in an after-school program and provides professional instruction.
If your company would like to be a sponsor in this event and have great exposure for your brand and products do not hesitate to contact one of the board members of the SMGA or visit our Facebook site
