Italian Open International Tournament Vergiate Review, 3 - 4 November 2001
There's only one thing you can say about this tournament - It's a must. Only the Italians can organise a tournament in such a way that you get dual playing satisfaction. You play minigolf during the day then they take you out to play in the evening! The 'toughest Betong course in Italy' during the day and wonderful food, entertainment and a disco in the evening - what more can you ask for. Well, a coach, and I was fortunate enough to have the best in Max.
The course is situated smack in the middle of Vergiate - it has a bar!! The cappuccino is the best I have tasted, the beer is excellent and the grappa - well I never got the chance as I had my fill at the meal on Friday. Delicious hot snacks are cooked on the barbecue outside and you get the added bonus of chestnuts.
The format: Two and a half days of practice, Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning. Believe me you'll need this much time, probably more. I only managed a day, as I arrived late Thursday evening and on Saturday morning I was slightly incapacitated. I wasn't much better by the first round in the afternoon. However I got my best score of the three rounds. The other two being on the Sunday.
The amount of minigolf talent on display was phenomenal, if you need to learn Betong or you just want to have a good time this is the place to visit. This has got to be the friendliest tournament I've ever been to.

A memento - a slice of the Chief of Police's tie. They know how to have a good time! |
Visit the Vergiate website now and make sure you're part of the fun next year (November 2-3 2002).
Special thanks to Max, Ermes and all of the people who organised and participated, thanks also to Thomas for getting me to and from the bar.
