Lipiny Golf Resort:

Excited about the 2020 Season

21,000 golfers: that is the summary of the previous season at the golf resort near Karviná, surrounded

by the ČSM, Darkov, and ČSA mineshaft towers. The Lipiny Golf Resort had a very good year

as manager Mr Pavel Malina confirms.

“The last event of our eighth golf season was the Lipiny

Cup 2019 open tournament, which took place on

a fantastic sunny day with excellent attendance,” Malina

said. Many newcomers appeared, and beginners to the

game competed in a special nine-hole category.

The course’s dominant feature, a replica of a mining

tower, saw tee offs and winners’ announcements to

tournaments and other events for the public “…from ninehole tournaments for beginners, entertainment, social

events, ladies’ days to eighteen-hole tournaments for

skilled golfers,” Malina explained. Then he emphasized

the operation of the Driving Range and Public Course

which is classified as the best public golf course in the

Czech Republic. It has become the most popular place

for amateurs who enjoy coming to play a few holes in

a fine, relaxed atmosphere with good prices.

“How the public perceives golf has changed for the

better in the past eight years. We are very busy working

with the young, organizing day camps in cooperation

with the Lipiny Golf Club association and supported

by the OKD Foundation (Nadace OKD). On the other

hand, we know that the recruitment of new players is

a long-term programme, which in our case includes

Saturday introductory lessons with instructions at the

public course in the basics of golfing etiquette,” Malina

said. Beginners with our training (whose number has

exceeded 5,000 since starting these lessons in 2012)

receive a so-called Start Card. The Lipiny Golf Resort also

attracts players from Poland. Fifty boys and girls have

regularly attended Kids’ Golf School. The gentleman’s

sport is listed as an optional subject at the Elementary

School Dělnická in Karviná. “Pupils who choose the

subject take lessons at our course,” said Malina.

“2020 is going to be a busy year, too. We have planned

sixty events and public tournaments so far. We will

start with nine-hole Friday tournaments from April 17th.

Let me thank everyone for their favour and support.

We are looking forward to seeing you again in the

2020 season,“ Malina concluded.
