A modern and fast sport

As soon as the Puy golf was created, in the late 90s, the site was planned to play Pitch and Putt, a discipline that does not exceed 100 meters away. Each has two clubs and a putter. “It is a modern and fast sport,” argues Patrick Giraud, President France Pitch & Putt.

The Pitch and Putt has four golf courses in Haute-Loire, including that of Coutonzon in Bas-en-Basset which is completely designed for this sport.

A springboard for golf

This discipline, imported from England in 1999 by John Hudson, is also intended to be financially accessible, whether in the equipment or in the Green Fee, the price to access the green. “The Pitch and Putt is a formidable springboard for golf,” adds Dominique Tareriat, president of the Haute-Loire Departmental Golf Committee. “The Pitch and Putt is to the Golf what rugby at 7 is to rugby at 15,” compares Jacques Olagnol President of the Puy Golf Association.

On April 26 and 27, the 72 players will have three laps to win the Open International de France. It is at Puy that it happens and the public is invited to attend.
