We, as the Turkish Golf Federation, are very proud to organize the 2012 World Amateur Team Championship in Turkey. This great success following the selection of Turkey as the “Best Golf Destination in Europe 2008” by IAGTO is an important indicator of world’s appreciation for the dedicated efforts of Turkish Golf Federation, established in 1996 as one of the youngest federations in the world of golf as well as golf in Turkey that has made considerable progress in a very short time.
Some of the reasons for Turkey’s selection as the country to host this important organization, among many others, are as follows; Turkey’s experience in hosting international sports events, the fact that golf is the most rapidly developing sports branch, the increasing number of perfectlydesigned golf courses, the selection of Turkey as the most rapidly developing golf country in Europe and our treasures of young population, cultural heritage and natural assets.
This event to be organized in Belek, the golf paradise of Antalya where numerous historical and natural treasures are intertwined, on uniquely beautiful golf courses designed by Nick Faldo, the unforgettable name of golf and Michel Gayon, the famous architect, as well as the leading architects of European Golf Design will be an unforgettable experience both for players and golf lovers.
I believe wholeheartedly that the 2012 World Amateur Team Championship to be organized in Belek will serve as a model for future golf events in all aspects from the candidacy and the process of becoming the host country to competition and hospitality during the championship and I would like to state that I feel honored to host you in our country.
