2nd Annual Aegean Airlines Pro-Am Golf |
|
| Following the success of the First Aegean Airlines Pro-Am in Crete in 2006, the founder and title sponsor, “Aegean Airlines S.A.,” has announced the dates for the 2nd Aegean Airlines Pro-Am scheduled at Crete Golf Club in Hersonissos from 1-3 June 2007. The event last year attracted 52 teams from 13 countries and the winner-professional was Liam Bond from Wales, UK. The overall winning team was made up of Kyle Rushall, D. Dean, M Fortune and D. O´Neil from the Keele Golf Centre from Staffordshire, UK. |

The Pro-Am was an initiative of Aegean Airlines to contribute to the improvement and enrichment of Greek tourism and the advancement of golf in the country. The success of last year’s Pro-Am is the first step towards making Greece a golfing destination and a host of international calibre golfing tournaments. In association with Crete Golf S.A and the Crete Golf Club, the 2nd Aegean Airlines Pro-Am is fully endorsed by The PGAs of Europe, and supported by the PGA of Greece and the Hellenic Golf Federation. |

The 2nd Aegean Airlines Pro-Am is open to a maximum of 40 teams made up of one Professional and three amateur players. The purse for this year’s tournament is €60,000 euros and the professional winner will receive the Aegean Airlines Pro-Am trophy along with a check for €7,000 euros. It is worth noting that approximately €12,000 from the tournament income will be donated to a local children’s charity. |
