Espiche Hosts Olympic Truce Peace Effort

Golf for Peace

The Algarve’s Espiche Golf Club is this year hosting the first Living Golf For Peace tournament. The event is in recognition of the Olympic role of golf as a means to reduce conflict by supporting the official UN-backed Olympic Truce planned for later this summer. The competition further aims to support implementation of the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals where global peace is now recognised as a priority for a sustainable world economy. More details and information on registration are available on the Living Golf website and at franz@livinggolf.com for Franz Rollnick (tournament details and registration) and also from Gordon Sillence of Olympic Truce Peace Campaign at gordon.destinet@ecotrans.de. The event promises to be a great success with organisers anticipating that it will further a genuinely noble cause in the true Olympic spirit.
