Registration
The number of players per tournament is limited to 110 (Golfclub Interlaken-Unterseen, max. 99 players). In past years, the available places have been booked quickly. Registrations are handled in the order in which they are received. You may register for more than one tournament. We strive to confirm participation in at least one tournament per golfer.
In early April you will receive your own personal overview showing your status for the various tournaments. You will receive a final update two weeks before the tournament begins.
