EUROPEAN SPORT WEEK PROMOTIONAL EVENTS

23 -28 September 2024

After training 90 new instructors, the project entered the promotional phase, participating in events such as the “European Sports Week.” Instructors have been the protagonists spreading beach golf, involving people of all ages and social classes, debunking the idea that golf is elitist and not accessible.

Because golf does not create barriers, it breaks them down. It does not limit, but opens up possibilities.
