The year 2011 is linked to Caddie with EDIE Foundation, which was founded in 1956 by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The programme was introduced in 1993 in the Czech Republic and the aim is to motivate young people to achieve sporting and life goals. At the moment there are involved more than 30 Czech schools and 5 million children around the world.
NGT has decided to support this program so our players are provided with "caddies support" throughout the whole tour. The program includes certified courses for education, training and sporting skills of Czech children in extracurricular activities. The aim is to educate future caddies with emphasis on golf etiquette.
NGT Partners and players could be part of this support. We have prepared an embedded competition "Trouble Shot", where a player buys a golf ball for 50 CZK and not only competes on the exclusive golf trip for two people but also contributes to the realization of golf dreams of youth.
An another interesting activity is the "Best Beach Shot", when a hole is selected and so-called beach shot is served fto our players for the amount of 80 CZK. The winner, which will strike out from the bunker at the closest to the hole will receive an price from the General Partner of the Tour.
The total amount of both competitions will be donated to the programme Caddie with EDIE. We believe that the programm will raise the best caddies that Czech greens ever experienced.
