WORLD OF LEADING GOLF AWARDS<br />
On Nov. 25th <strong>2017</strong> the Aloha <strong>Golf</strong> Club Marbella<br />
and <strong>World</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Leading</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> CEO Claus<br />
Feldt welcomed members and guests to<br />
celebrate this year‘s best member clubs and<br />
present them with the <strong>World</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Leading</strong> <strong>Golf</strong><br />
Award <strong>2017</strong>. In perfect accordance with the<br />
host club‘s philosophy, the event was characterized<br />
by its distinguished and vibrant<br />
yet relaxed atmosphere.<br />
The classy holiday refuge <strong>of</strong> Marbella on the<br />
Costa del Sol was the perfect destination<br />
for the fourth annual <strong>World</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Leading</strong> <strong>Golf</strong><br />
Awards. And the private Aloha <strong>Golf</strong> Club the<br />
perfect setting for such an almost intimate<br />
event due to the fact, that very selected<br />
clubs match up to the <strong>World</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Leading</strong> <strong>Golf</strong><br />
standards at all.<br />
Although the stunning Aloha <strong>Golf</strong> Club is a<br />
private venue, it is cherished by many for its<br />
combination <strong>of</strong> a wonderful course, attentive<br />
service and excellent food with a friendly<br />
and unpretentious atmosphere. It is a prestigious<br />
social hub with numerous popular<br />
events and everything that goes with it, so it<br />
is no wonder, that guests coming to attend<br />
the <strong>World</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Leading</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> Awards <strong>2017</strong> felt<br />
more than welcome there.<br />
Being host and moderator at the same time,<br />
<strong>World</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Leading</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> CEO shared his task <strong>of</strong><br />
presenting the nominees and winners with<br />
his partner at International <strong>Golf</strong> Research,<br />
Keith Haslam. Of course, the day and evening<br />
also served as a chance to connect and<br />
bring everyone up-to-date.<br />
As Claus Feldt explained after the affair: “There<br />
were many excellent networking opportunities<br />
while guests also used the occasion<br />
to renew acquaintances with people they<br />
have known for some years. Evenings like this<br />
are particularly valuable in golf, for it is a relatively<br />
small industry in terms <strong>of</strong> the people in<br />
it – they move around but tend to stay within<br />
it – and they value social occasions such as<br />
this where they can catch up with people<br />
they may have known from previous roles.”<br />
Looking at the awards ceremony itself, he<br />
added: “The fulcrum <strong>of</strong> the evening will have<br />
been the presentation <strong>of</strong> the WLG awards<br />
and we’d like to congratulate all the winners<br />
on their individual successes. But we should<br />
also, emphasise that, in being a member <strong>of</strong><br />
WLG, each venue has already demonstrated<br />
a commitment to being one <strong>of</strong> the best<br />
destinations in world golf.”<br />
