A successful first edition
Friday 2 June was a memorable day for all golf lovers gathered at the Blue Green in Bordeaux Lac for the first TERIA OPEN GOLF competition. This event was an opportunity for our customers and partners to get together around their shared passion: golf.
Here’s a look back at this great sporting and friendly event, which was unanimously acclaimed!
LET’S START WITH A BIT OF HISTORY
It would appear that the true origins of modern golf lie in Holland, under the name of “colf”. A game played in 1297 in Loenen aan de Vecht, during a commemoration that consisted of hitting a ball and sending it towards a specific goal.
In 1754, the sport was certified in Scotland by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of Saint Andrews, which published 13 rules that have remained virtually unchanged.
Golf did not really take off until the second half of the 19th century, with the arrival of professionalism and private clubs in Scotland and England. The first British Open to be contested by professionals was held in 1860 and again at the beginning of the 20th century.
Precision, endurance, technical skill and concentration are all essential qualities in this sport. Assets that TERIA also shares within its company.

GOLF FOR ALL
The day began in glorious sunshine, with an electric atmosphere of anticipation and excitement. To provide an experience to suit all levels of play, TERIA organised two exciting competitions.
The first, aimed at beginners and amateurs, offered the opportunity to receive introductory lessons from experienced professionals and to familiarise themselves with a 9-hole scramble course.
The competition consisted of an approach competition on the Pitch and Putt.
The main objective was to see which of the participants could get as close as possible to the hole in a single stroke, and then hit the ball in as few strokes as possible using the putter.
The second competition was aimed at experienced licensed golfers ready to demonstrate their skills and mastery of the game over an 18-holecourse.
Despite the friendly atmosphere, the spirit of competition was very much alive throughout the day, with participants competing against themselves. The competition was official in nature, with the results sent to the French Golf Federation at the end of the day.
So it was that for over 4 hours, our budding golfers and apprentice golfers took to the lawn of Bluegreen Bordeaux Lac, each with their own objective.
THE COMPETITION WITHIN THE COMPETITION
In the world of golf, the power and precision of the swing are essential for achieving impressive results. That’s why we’ve organised an exciting competition to see who can win the title for the longest DRIVE on the 4th hole.
The aim is simple: to go as far as possible in the opening shot on the 4th hole.
The 4th hole is renowned for its distance and its challenge, encouraging golfers to give their all to achieve a master stroke. So the participants teed off with gusto, hoping to see their ball reach spectacular distances while keeping the ball on the fairway to avoid having it disqualified.
And to guarantee an accurate measurement, we used the French GNSS receiver PYX, operated by the UNGE surveyors from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region who initiated the competition.
The PYX, a state-of-the-art professional GPS, was our ally in accurately measuring each drive. Thanks to its ultra-fast initialisation time, it enabled us to measure distances reliably without slowing down the competition. This enabled us to establish fair rankings and determine the most powerful golfers in the competition.
Thanks to the PYX’s quick, easy and efficient handling, our surveyors who were unfamiliar with the device were able to get up and running very quickly and produce very accurate point measurements.

A MOMENT OF SHARING
After an intense day on the green, an evening of sharing brought together all the participants and their companions. It was the perfect opportunity to celebrate the day’s highlights, exchange anecdotes and make new friends. The spirit of camaraderie and conviviality permeated every conversation, strengthening the bonds between the golf enthusiasts present.
A perfect moment for a prize-giving ceremony with top-quality prizes. Top-of-the-range golf equipment and accessories… Everything was carefully selected to delight the golf enthusiasts in attendance.
We would like to warmly thank all those who contributed to the success of this first edition of the TERIA OPEN GOLF.
