Karslberg Team Trophy 2007 : Golf Tournament in Germany

Each year the Karlsberg Brewery (Karlsberg Brauerei) in Homburg/Saar in Germany sponsors an excellent season-ending golf tournament, the Karlsberg Team Trophy for Jungsenioren ("young seniors", players who are 35 years of age and up).

It is a friendly competition among the participating golf club teams that play each season in the young seniors German golf leagues in Saarland and Rheinland-Pfalz (the Rheinland-Palatinate), which are 2 of the 16 German states.

The tournament takes place at the Golf Club Homburg/Saar, a championship 6527-yard par 72 golf course in Saarland at Websweiler Hof.

PROmotion Golfevents has many photographs of this year's tournament online, of which there is also a comparable Picasa Web Album.

One of those photographs shows our team from Golfclub Stromberg (the LawPundit is on the far right) (we have tweaked the photograph a bit to make it fit this page):

Karlsberg has a long history of sponsoring cultural and sporting events. Karlsberg provided the players with food and drink (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages) during the two days of the golf tournament while Flamenco dancers provided the evening's entertainment, as a gratis flamenco lesson was also given to one selected player from each golf team. Thankfully, the LawPundit was able to remain among the spectators (the LawPundit is in the middle of the photograph, third from the left) (we have tweaked the photo a bit to make it fit this page):


The idea of forming golf leagues for golf club teams might be worth importing to other countries. It is a great deal of fun. See Sample Golf League Rules
