I enjoy the place and I love the golf course. I expect the game be very competitive this year and this should provide the right impetus before my next competition in South Africa.” Gregory Havret said in an interview: « J’avais promis de jouer à nouveau cette année un tournoi de l’Allianz Golf Tour. Je tiendrai ma promesse et serai présent a l’AfrAsia Golf Masters, à la mi-décembre, pour ce tournoi qui va permettre aux 20 meilleurs joueurs de l’AGT (Allianz Golf Tour) de se mesurer à des joueurs invités. Il me tarde d’y être. Parce- que ce sera véritablement une semaine de fête. Et parce-que je pourrai aussi mettre des visages sur des noms de jeunes joueurs dont je ne connais pour l’instant que les résultats. J’aimerais me rendre plus souvent sur les épreuves, mais la densité du calendrier du tour européen m’en empêche. J’ai envie de les voir jouer, de parler avec eux, de connaître leur manière de voir les choses. Je suis pressé de rencontrer ceux qui, un jour, prendront ma place, pour que nous fêtions ensemble cette fin d’année ». Designed by Ernie Els, the Four Seasons Golf Club, Mauritius at Anahita, is a 7,440-yard, 18-hole, par-72 championship course with large fairways and five sets of tees. Six stunning oceanfront holes culminate in a final shot that is among the most spectacular in the world. Built to USGA standards, it is the first of its kind in Mauritius. Carefully woven into the tropical sanctuary, the course is set against lush mountains and fringed by the vast crystal-clear lagoon. Marc Amelot, Director of Four Seasons Golf Club, added: “the competition is really a highlight in the golf calendar, not only as a reward for an entire year of competition but also a golden opportunity for promising players of the Allianz Golf Tour to rub shoulders and exchange ideas with experienced professionals from the European Tour.” For registration purposes, golfers will be required to log on the website www.afrasiagolfmasters.com and make online booking. # # # AfrAsia Bank is a boutique bank that offers a comprehensive range of financial solutions while ensuring that customers benefit from a dedicated, personalized and unparalleled customer service.
