MULLET BAY: The St Maarten Golf Association SMGA will host its 24th annual St. Maarten Open Golf Tournament on Saturday and Sunday April 16th and 17th, 2016 at the Mullet Bay Golf Course.
Proceeds from the event will benefit multiple pre-selected local community organizations.
The festivities will begin with registration on Friday April 15th at the Golf Course followed by an opening reception for all participants, sponsors, media and invited guests from 19:00h – 21:00h at Sunset Beach Bar. Guests will have a chance to mix and mingle and greet many long-time friends from other islands as well as meeting new ones.
So far the SMGA received a total amount of 89 registered golfers and they expect to go over 90 players when the tournament starts. Including a large contingent of local players from St. Maarten and St. Martin, there will be some very talented and highly competitive golfers from our neighboring islands like Anguilla, St. Kitts, Nevis, Curacao and Guadeloupe as well as players from Canada, U.S.A., United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
This 36 holes stroke play tournament will kick off with the first round of 18 holes on Saturday morning April 16th at 7:00AM. The second round will be played on Sunday April 17th. Following the tournament, an awards and recognition party will be held at SKY BEACH Rooftop Beach & Lounge in Maho for participants, sponsors, media and invited guests between 18:00h – 21:00h.
This two day tournament is made possible due to our year round major contributors Mullet Bay Resort and Golf Course and CC1, combined with the tremendous annual support and sponsorships from a huge amount of local and international businesses.
