Spring is almost in the air and golf courses will open soon. This is the invitation to the 2025 UNGC Match Play competitions. This year we are again organising two categories: Singles and Chapman doubles.
All details, rules and information relevant to the competitions can be found on the UNGC website: United Nations Golf Club - Matchplay Rules (ungc.eu)
Please note that although the highest permissible handicap index is 36, players with higher index are welcome to participate. They will, however, be given index 36 for this event.
Registration is online and you can access it here. Please note that this is the only way to enter the Match Play. Please enter all requested information, in particular your mobile phone number. Registration deadline is 1 April 2025 at midnight.
If you would like to register for the doubles but have no partner, or if you have any other queries, please feel free to contact me on goeran.ungc@gmail.com and I will try to help.
If you have participated before, I hope you will sign up again. If you still haven't played this event, give it a try!
Finally, please make sure you have paid the 2025 UNGC membership fee before you register!
I look forward to your registrations.
The United Nations Golf Club (UNGC) in Vienna is once again organising singles and doubles match play tournaments during the 2024 season. The draw for the handicap competitions will be made in early April and the competitions themselves will run from mid-April until approximately the middle of October. Depending on the number of participants, there will be 5 or so rounds in each competition for the successful participants. The UNGC Singles Match Play Championship: The winner of this tournament can proudly call himself or herself the UN Golf Club Match Play Champion. It is a singles match play competition, so it is based upon holes won rather than strokes taken. It is a handicap competition, so everybody has a chance! The 2024 singles tournament was won by Mark O’Connell, who beat Tony Westwell in the finals. The doubles tournament is the UNGC Chapman Match Play. Like the Singles Championship, the Chapman Foursomes is a match play competition based upon handicap. It is a fun format where you and your partner play alternate shots with the same ball from the third shot onwards. The 2024 champions were Daniela Duduleanu/Audun Fostvedt-Mills, with Irene Huber/Mark O’Connell coming in second. If you want to participate and have a partner, please let us know the name, handicap index and contact details of your partner when you register! If you do not have a partner, please contact the Match Play Organiser, Goeran Appelgren at goeran.ungc@gmail.com, and he will try to find one for you. Both competitions are open to all members of the UNGC. If you want to play in one or both of the tournaments, please register on our website, by midnight, 1 April 2025, indicating the competition(s) you want to play in, what your current handicap index is, and if you are signing up for the doubles, the name of your playing partner (Chapman foursomes) if you know already. For any queries, feel free to contact the match play organiser. We aim to announce the draw for both competitions early April. Please note that the same rules about deadlines used last year will be applied again this year, only the rules will be strictly adhered to. For each round, there will be a two-week grace period beyond the deadline of each scheduled match play round. This deadline is to prevent delays in subsequent matches and to ensure the final rounds are played in favourable weather conditions. A committee made up of the Match Play Organiser and UNGC Executive Committee members will determine which (individual or team) will proceed into the next round in the event a scheduled match has not been played before the end of the two-week grace period. To avoid unnecessary complications and to ensure fairness, please copy goeran.ungc@gmail.com when you make your match arrangements!

This year’s golf weekend trip will take us to one of the most changeable landscapes of Austria in the midst of the Alpine foothills (they are seen from most of the holes) around 2.15 hrs from Vienna. We will golf for 3 days (18-20 July 2025) at two championship courses. On the way to the Resort we will play a round of golf at one of the partner golf courses, GC Linz Luftenberg. The other two rounds will be on the 27-hole course Kremstal located directly at the Resort. The Resort was renovated recently and offers accommodation in the OG’s Apartments in Greenvillage or OG’s Rooms in the Clubhouse (all with air condition and free WIFI).
