Highlights of MercedesTrophy – Vietnam Final

 

The MercedesTrophy is a worldwide series of  corporate tournaments now in its 20th year of which Vietnam has participated in the past 9 years. With over 60 countries and over 60,000 Mercedes customers participating, Vietnamese golfers as well as Mercedes car owners are keen to be part of this global event.

The MercedesTrophy  Vietnam has attracted more than 4,000 golfers with 21 qualifying golf clubs, two semi-finals and the Country Final. The series then continue to Australia and then onto to the World Finals .

This year for the first time in Vietnam, in a single tournament Mercedes-Benz offered 4 hole-in-one luxury car prizes comprising two CLS, one E350, 1oneGLK and a bonus 5th hole to win a newly launched C200 for a skills challenge held on the roof terrace of the Sealinks hotel which overlooks the ocean.

Martin Schulz Mercedes-Benz Vietnam Director of Sales & Marketing commented that the Sealinks link style golf course will help the Vietnamese golfers  be better-prepared to compete in ASIAN Final due to the similarity of Sea Links to the courses they will play in Australia’s Gold Coast!

The Sea Links Golf Club is located in Phan Thiet City, some 200km from Ho Chi Minh City. Sea Links lies in the heart of a breathtaking area of the countryside. It is built on an area of 160 hectares on a cliff with beautiful sand dunes. It looks over the ocean, with panoramic views of Mui Ne Bay, creating a particular appeal for golfers.

With a length of 7,700 yards from the tips, each hole has its own beauty and challenge. Notable are the long par fives and 2 island par threes. Heavy undulations are found on the greens and fairways making it as challenging as they come. Billed as ‘The Most Challenging Links Style Golf Course In Asia’, Sea Links is destined to become one of the best Vietnam golf courses.

In celebration of 125 years anniversary, Mercedes-Benz also rewards its golfer customers in Vietnam with an appreciation package of complimentary golf, gala dinner and 5-star hotel accommodation. The pampering remains for the duration of each leg, which means winners of the country final will also get the same luxurious package for the Astralia trip with round business class flights, all ground transportation, and 5-star deluxe rooms for four nights in Australia and the same standard for the Germany trip.
