October 2, 2020 – Lumine Golf Club<\/strong>, Europe\u2019s Best Golf Venue, have agreed an exciting new partnership with the Swiss Golf Association<\/strong>, that will see the club become the winter training base for the country\u2019s national amateur and professional golf teams.<\/p>\n Starting in January 2021, Lumine will play host to Switzerland\u2019s elite golfers for three months and will provide them with the opportunity to train and practice daily on the club\u2019s two top-quality championship courses, The Hills<\/strong> and The Lakes<\/strong>; with the latter designed by World Hall of Famer and golf course designer Greg Norman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As part of an extensive tender process, the club was chosen ahead of several other European destinations ticking all the boxes the Swiss Golf Association<\/strong> required. It\u2019s short proximity from Switzerland, first-class courses, modern practice facilities, and all-year-round warm climate, provide the national teams with the perfect setting to their improve their game during the winter months.<\/p>\n The association aims to bring Swiss professionals to play successfully on main Golf Tours over the next few years, starting with an extensive winter programme at Lumine. Hosts to the European Tour\u2019s Q School<\/strong> final stages, Swiss players will gain the best possible preparation for the gruelling test they may face later in the year. In recent years, Swiss golfers Mathias Eggenberger, Raphael de Sousa and Perry Cohen<\/strong> have all competed at Lumine just missing out on their tour cards.<\/p>\n As well as its two quality championship courses, Lumine is also home to two state-of-the-art clubhouses, a premium restaurant offering, beach club and a unique nine-hole golf course, The Ruins<\/strong>, as well as a Toptracer<\/strong> driving range.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are delighted to have agreed a partnership with Lumine Golf Club to become Swiss Golf winter base for 2021. It is an impressive destination with first-class facilities and it\u2019s everything we need to help our players develop and push them onto the next level. We are really looking forward to the experience and staying at Lumine next winter,\u201d <\/em>said Barbara Albisetti, <\/strong>Director of Sport at Swiss Golf.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cWe are really excited to welcome a group of highly-talented golfers to the club this winter. It has been a very strange year for the golf industry, and we hope that this exciting news can help the Swiss Golf Association reach their ambitions, driving a record-number of players to the Q School Final Stages, and hopefully gaining tour card status,\u201d <\/em>added Andy Gordon, <\/strong>Head of Golf at Lumine Golf Club.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The professional Swiss Golfer and LET Tour player, Kim Metraux <\/strong>(at the first picture), further stated: \u201c<\/em>I think this partnership is a great opportunity for Swiss players! We have cold and snowy winters which lead to most golf courses being closed for several months. Having the opportunity to come to Lumine and be able to practice outside on the golf course and on the practice facilities instead of working on a simulator will be extremely beneficial and a lot more realistic!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThis will help us develop our games more efficiently which will increase the chances of Swiss players performing at the highest level. My sister and I had already chosen Lumine as a winter practice base when we came several years in December to practice with our coach. I love this golf club and am thrilled that Swiss Golf and Lumine have created this partnership for the Swiss Elite players. I am very much looking forward to coming to Lumine this winter.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/hundreds-wordpress-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/mygolfway\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Swiss-National-Team-Kim-Metraux-Foto-Tristan-Jones-LET.jpg\")
