World Cup
CATALONIA - World Champions - again!
On one of toughest courses in the Pitch and Putt world, the locals used every advantage to their benefit to take their 2nd successive World Cup title.
Over three days of intense competition and in tough windy conditions, the Catalan players swept all before them. Unexpectedly their opponents in the final were from neighbouring Andorra who had, the day before, inflicted the first ever defeat on the Irish in international competition. In the final, with an estimated 2000 spectators on course, the local players showed greater calm and control to take their second World title and stamp their authority on the World Cup competition.
The win will no doubt be a tremendous boost for the sport in Catalonia.
The 2nd World Cup of Pitch and Putt was held in Barcelona, Spain, at the Teia course and won, again, by the team from Catalonia. Final Placings:
