VICEVERSA Challenge - The Prestigious Scottish Tournament Comes to Three Continents
Abu Dhabi, February 22, 2008 -- Second edition of an unique event in its genre, container of sport, art, solidarity and charity. A jackpot of more than 50 thousand euro with a silver club designed by the architect Tobia Scarpa included.
This year, too, the Royal Silver Golf Trophy arrives with a new formula, but retaining its original philosophy. The final of the VICEVERSA Challenge will be held on the magnificent course of the Pevero Golf Club on Sardinia's Costa Smeralda (ITALY), and will be played in "reverse".
Viceversa Challenge, a bold contest
The Royal Golf Silver Trophy is a sporting contest unique of its kind, and this year once again it offers all the special emotions of a great spectacle. With three world stages and an all-Italian final in Europe, this new edition starts off with a hitherto unique challenge of an extremely audacious character, the VICEVERSA Challenge. The first stage to be held on the course of the exclusive Abu Dhabi Golf Club (capital of the United Arab Emirates), the second at the exotic course of Miami Beach Golf Club, Florida, and the third and last one in the enchanting setting of the Pevero Golf Club on the Costa Smeralda, north-eastern Sardinia's "buen retiro", pearl of the Italian coasts. The final will also take place at the Pevero Golf Club, but with an unusual formula called VICEVERSA Challenge.
The finalists will play on the regular course, but in reverse: that's to say, they will start from the flag at hole no.18 and go round VICEVERSA, ending up at the starting tee. It's an unusual contest, even for the most expert players, summoning golfers from every part of the globe for the thrill of performing on one of the world's most prestigious courses, in this unique, almost impossible way: in REVERSE. Three of the world's most exclusive courses, a historic trophy; a fascinating ambience drawing thousands of people, for a spectacular event quite out of the common. An event of the highest prestige that underlines the importance of the sport-culture combination for purposes of solidarity.
Besides the Historical Trophy created by SAN LORENZO and revisited by Tobia Scarpa, there will be six other Technical Trophies: ACQUA DI PARMA Nearest to the Pin - Lady Trophy; BORSALINO Longest Drive - Man & Lady Trophy; BVLGARI nearest to the Pin - Man Trophy; HOTEL CRISTALLO Best Birdies Score - Lady Trophy; E.MARINELLA Best Birdies Score - Man Trophy; KATANA Straightest Drive Trophy; and 4 Finalists' Tournament Trophies: HOTEL CALA DI VOLPE (Costa Smeralda); PINEIDER (Florence), G..LORENZI cutler in Montenapoleone (Milan), Technogym (Gambettola FC).
Sport but also art, entertainment, solidarity and charity at the Royal Golf Silver Trophy VICEVERSA Challenge 2008, an event conceived and realized by the Salvaterra brothers (Giancarlo concerning the sports area and Gianni for the cultural one) and the participants will be active in the fund raising in favour of Foundation Legato Dino Ferrari, which has been engaged for more than 25 years in the research concerning muscular dystrophy
The cultural program is also intense and significant; it features promotion of the book "The art of Golf - Brassie" the second of eight volumes of Part 72 series (Artestampa Arte Editore) devoted to the art of golf. The book, realised by Gianni Salvaterra, comprises artwork by some of the most important modern and contemporary international artists who dedicate or have dedicated their reflection to this sport. The volume includes an exclusive interview with Philippe Daverio concerning golf and an art multiple signed and numbered by the Swiss artist John Armleder.
