I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the 2015 World Corporate Golf Challenge at the Oitaves Dunes Golf Club here on the beautiful Lisbon coast in Cascais. It’s shaping up to be a great week and I’m sure you’ll meet and make new connections with plenty of like-minded people from all around the world.

Having been a successful Ryder Cup captain on three occasions, I’m all too aware of the qualities required to lead teams to the very pinnacle of achievement. It takes strategy, vision, perseverance and no small measure of intelligence and quick-wittedness and, as high level business leaders yourselves, I believe you all have these attributes in abundance. For those reasons, I can tell you alrea y that thi e ent ill e a ercely contested as ever.

With that in mind, I wish you all the very best of luck - may the best team win!

It is an honor to once again be a Global Ambassador of the World Corporate Golf Challenge.

I would like to welcome you all to Cascais, Portugal. I am sure you will all enjoy what the local area ha to o er an ta e a ay with you some unforgettable memories of the week.

Golf in a unique sport and all of us, here at the World Final, will undoubtedly enjoy what this wonderful game of golf has to show us; that people from all aroun the orl ith i erent culture and playing abilities can come together with the same passion for both business and golf.

I wish you all the best of luck.

Congratulations on qualifying for the 2015 World Corporate Golf Challenge! You are about to experience an amazing an uni ue gol ng ee You’ll love Oitavos Dunes and I hope you will also enjoy the competition which is always exciting albeit nerve wracking for the competitors representing their companies and countries. Playing in front of TV cameras and some large galleries will take many players out of their comfort zone but will be a great experience to look back on - no matter how it goes! It has been my pleasure to be an ambassador for the WCGC for many years and it is a tournament that stands out in many ways. The WCGC organisation is second to none, the golf is always fantastic but, most importantly, the event brings people together from all corners of the globe who otherwise would never meet. Enjoy the competition but also have fun getting to know your fellow competitors, sponsors and guests. Good luck!

hole PAR 4 / SI 5 / METRES: 380,365, 307, 276

A friendly opening tee shot, where any quest for lenghtadds to the demand for accuracy as the fairway narrows beyond 250 metros. The second shot is to a bowl shaped green surrounded

y une ell ighte hot carrying on to the green i the best option, but the absence of bunkers allows you to begin your Links experience with a running shot. Play a little left as the ball will run in from

hole PAR 4 / SI 15 / METRES: 311, 294, 263, 234

Driving from an elevated tee, a bunke on the right centre of the fairway at 220 meters is a good line. Trying to miss this trap on the left does not make an easier second shot, so a driver is not a must here. The green recei e the all nicely an a goo lo te approach houl o er a birdie chance. Take it if you get it!

hole PAR 3 / SI 11 / METRES: 184, 157, 133, 112The most straightforward par 3 on the course. Driving out of a chute of pines, there are rough and bunkers to carry. The ability to hit a high fade will make this shot easier. The wind and the pin po ition in thi long green can ma e a e clu i erence o make sure you have the yardage right


Another birdie chance! The bunkers down the right warn the player to eep le t o the tee an thi i the e t line in ut o not hook too far left, as the Driving Range, well left, is out-of-bounds. A small green protected by clever mounding requires good feel for length and trajectory with the short iron approach. Beware no to 3-put on this deceiving green


The challenge begins and after a good drawn tee shoot over the right fairway bunker, you will feel the full force of the prevailing North wind. A low running shot will be required to reach the green in two. A bogey is a good score in this long, stroke index 1 par-4.


There is much more room to the left than appears from the tee at this dogleg right hole. Keep away from the bunkers on the right which are not visible from the tee. Either hit a running shot onto the green or a lofted iron, as this approach is hard and fast

OK_R_WCGC.indd 32 17/6/15 20:19

33


The wind will determine if you can get home in two. Favour the left side of the fairway and check pin position before club selection on this long green. Take advantage of this birdy opportunity


Back to back par 5s, this one is the true test. One of the toughest holes in the course with the prevailing wind, so play safe and guarantee the bogey. Aim your tee shot to the keft side where you ill lea e your el a o nhill lay-up- hot im to the at area from 100 metres in to the green, past the undulations.


The shortest hole on the course but a testy one! The green is concave and a ball hit to the front section can easily spin back o the green orrect clu election an control o tra ectory i vital. It may be worth hitting a less lofted club, held down the grip and played beneath the ever-present wind. Do not let the spectacular view of Cabo Roca break your concentration.

hole PAR 4 / SI 4 / METRES:406, 369, 332, 290

Turn for home and admire the view on this tough uphill par 4. Despite the back wind take an extra club on your approach to ma e ure you on t lea e your el hort ong i pre era le to hort e cept hen the ag i on the right ront corner o the

green, when short is better.

OK_R_WCGC.indd 33 17/6/15 20:19

A true “risk and reward” tee shot. The long hitter will consider the possibility of driving the green, if the wind is behind. Otherwise a long iron or fairway wood to the left centre of the fairway will leave a testing pitch to a very severe green, with extreme slopes. Make sure your approach onto the right level of green or it will be impossible to two-putt. This can be a birdie hole, do not let your chance slip!


he r t o the three great par 3 on the in ar nine ith ma e tic views of the Atlantic Ocean and natural links environment. Play a shorter iron or fairway wood and let the wind work the ball.


Aim at the bunker and favor the right side of the fairway. Lay up short of the left bunker and leave an uphill approach of less than 100 metros. Allow for the change of height between fairway and green, worth at least one club more.


ne o the e t par 3 in the orl he in ill play a igni cant factor in club selection. If the wind is against, a low drawn three iron works well. The green is ideally shaped for running a ball down the green contours. Only the perfect shot will secure par.

hole PAR 3 / SI 18 / METRES:170, 127, 107, 73

ery e cour e o er ac to ac par 3 he 5th i a elight ul contrast to hole 14. This time a long one down a sheltered valley in the dunes. Whichever way the wind blows, it will help on one hole and hinder on the other. The fade shot works best here and the shot to the upper tier of the green is best run in. The banks can help the all on to the green o e ol an play up to the ag


The elevated tee, with a superb view of the ocean, gives a chance to let the all y he right i e i the e t line or the r t an the second shots. The second shot, landing centre right of the fairway, can leave a third with no bunker to carry. A little out of position and the large bunkers will be a threat. Carry them and putt back up the green.


he r t o t o great ni hing par he ri e to the right centre of the fairway with a touch of draw, will set up a mid or long iron gently downhill to the green. The hollow to the right and bunker to the left will nearly always cause a dropped shot, so short is not a bad option.


he nale an hat a great hole he e t player in the orl have been brought to their knees on this demanding hole. Again a draw, around the central island of one strategic pine, is the best shot. The green is raised in a dune and will play at least one club more than you think. If you hit the green, the severe slope from back right to front left, will give you a lot to think about. Many games will turn completely around on this outstanding

ni hing hole

Golf has always been a great leveller, not only in terms of its handicapping system, but also in the way that it enables people rom i erent culture an ocial cla e aroun the orl to

communicate through their passion for the game and importantly compete in an open and fair environment.

The World Corporate Golf Challenge (WCGC), launched in 1997, i an e ent that e empli e thi uni er al language o gol an it spawned from the UK’s The Times Corporate Golf Challenge.

This was a simple yet highly successful concept established four years earlier when the founder, John Mitchell, recognised that golf and business combined exceptionally well, and that corporates at every level were holding golf days to entertain their top clients.

Mitchell tapped into this market when launching The Times event and quickly expanded the concept overseas (on a license basis), orming an hol ing an annual orl nal in ol ing the

national winners of each licensed country. By linking the event ith uality me ia oth print an roa ca t the pro le o the

national events (and WCGC) grew, and in doing so generated a commercial and sponsorship value in those territories. In the early days the UK event was based on teams of four players, male or emale uali ying or regional nal ith a ie to ultimately winning an all-expenses paid overseas trip to contest their national nal

In 2007, the Spanish group Netco Group bought the majority shareholding in the British company WCGC and have developed the e ent igni cantly particularly ith trong me ia an marketing support from TIME and Fortune magazines, plus tele i ion partner ol ng orl

The method that each individual licensee employs to arrive at securing their yearly national winners to compete against other nation in the annual nal i largely le t to them hat has not been compromised is the very high standards that were originally set and the determination remains that each country team has to qualify for the WCGC Final on merit.

ac in u t a o en countrie atten e the r t orl orporate ol hallenge nal hel at a anga lu in pain

Almost two decades on, this unique tournament has grown con i era ly an i no licen e in 5 countrie acro e

continents around the globe, and the World Final has since taken place in Jamaica, Mauritius, South Africa, Scotland and Spain’s Sotogrande.

WCGC is greatly enhanced by several emerging territories like Kazakhstan, Angola, Czech Republic, Chile, Panama, Poland and Russia and that, all said and done, can only be a good thing for the game of golf. These days, with the cosmopolitan mix of the event, each of the annual national champions are delighted to put another ate in their gol ng iary the challenge o ta ing on the world!

Since 2007, in addition to securing prominent media and marketing support, there have been some other key changes and developments to heighten the tournament’s reputation even further.

he mo t in uential o the e change a the re uction o the number of players in a team fromfour to two, as this has enabled the event to expand its boundaries into more countries. This revised format still protects the camaraderie of team play that was a key value in its conception, but from a commercial perspective, the event can now accommodate more teams and also allows global growth.

John rough a ormer orl nali t encap ulate the true pirit of the event and how it addsvalue and prestige to a journey that begins with a company golf day and leads to representing your country in a World Final. your country in a World Final. “When we heard that we would be going on to represent England in the world event, it quite naturally your country in a World Final.

WCGC HISTORY

“When we heard that we would be going on to represent England in the world event, it quite naturally gave us an even bigger boost than winning our national fi nal. The biggest thrill to come out of it is that we are going to be representing our country. As club golfers we would never have the chance to do that.”

WCGC understand that there is nothing more powerful than word of mouth marketing, and for that reason appointed a handful of global ambassadors including professional golfers Tony Jacklin, Manuel Pinero, golf instructor and Sky Sports pundit Simon Holmes, trick shot king Jeremy Dale, and the latest recruit i ormer uropean our r er o erit inner onan a erty

ho ill atten thi year nal at ita o une a cai rom 30 June to 5 July.

Tony Jacklin CBE, the WCGC global ambassador 2011-2013 said:

Throughout the history of this event the world has witnessed e eral change in particular on the glo al nancial ront yet all

in all, corporate golf has survived against such downturns and continues to thrive and grow.

hil t the e ect a elt in oar room an on gol cour e around the globe, perhaps the most encouraging sign is that WCGC is now engaging with a whole new audience in countries where the sport had previously been treated with suspicion or in i erence he tournament to ay i greatly enhanced by many emerging countries, and that, when all is said and done, can only be a good thing for the game of golf. This is a testimony to WCGC and the remodelled format as the event has not only survived during tough times, but it has expanded as well.

“I was delighted to be involved with the WCGC as the global ambassador. It’s a great event for businesses to entertain customers and network with decision makers across a variety of industry sectors both domestically and globally. The event has a great heritage and I was excited about my role in helping to raise the profile ofthe event and to expanding thetournament into new territories around the world.

OK_R_WCGC.indd 41 17/6/15 20:19

It’s apparent that another key area in which WCGC excels is their understanding and use of new media, which has without doubt helped to grow the event and enhance its reputation. The value of ha ing the a ility to lm an roa ca t the orl inal to an au ience in over 60 countries and using the latest platforms and applications, really does justify the meaning as a ‘World Final’ tag.

Clearly the original concept of combining golf and media in a competitive international environment is a winning formula and appeal to pon or that ie the u ine e ecuti e pro le and associated media on a global basis as an extremely cost-e ecti e attracti e an great alue in ol ement

In a troubled world, one thing always shines through and that is the value of sport bringing everyone together. WCGC can be very proud of its achievements, as there is more to play for than just trophies with pushing back the boundaries of international understanding at the top of the list. Here’s to the next 20 years!

THE BEST GOLF DESTINATION IN

PORTUGAL Portugal is the perfect destination for all seasons. Among other rea on ecau e it i locate only a hort ight a ay rom mo t

uropean capital citie ecau e it ene t rom 3000 hour o sun per year and it features almost 1000km of the most idyllic beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. Portugal is located on the western edge of the European continent, which gives it all the conditions to have one of the friendliest climates in all the Old Continent. The aura of mystery is, undoubtedly, constantly present whether you are in the city, in the mountains, the beach or by the coastline. With a unique Heritage, Portugal has the oldest geographic boundaries of Europe. The ancient and the modernity blend in perfect harmony. The numerous leisure activities, beautiful landscapes on a short distance, gastronomy, great wines and the warmth of the Portuguese people make it one of the most sought after destinations.

GOLF One of the great aspects of the Portuguese golf courses is that we have such a variety of atmospheres that golfers can really choose their preferred ambience. Lisbon counts more than a dozen courses easily accessible from the city, including Tróia Golf Course, considered, by many, to be

KINLOCH ANDERSON

Since the World Corporate Golf Challenge came to Scotland, the home of golf, to hold their event in 2013 on the banks of Loch Lomond at the Carrick Golf Course, their own exclusive tartan, has

ecome pro oun ly lin e to thi on er ul international gol ng occasion. The WGCG tartan trousers proudly worn by all the official no create a truly pecial i entity hich i a mire y all

Deirdre Kinloch Anderson OBE is passionate about tartan and has dedicated a great deal of her time and expertise in order to preserve the integrity of tartan and its value to Scotland. Deirdre says “Tartan is the pride and glory of Scotland. It belongs to Scottish cultural heritage and to the National Dress of Scotland; yet tartan is a gift that we have given to the world. Tartan is not just a colourful checked pattern, tartan is a design with a meaning and has a real sense of belonging.”

So, as with all tartans designed by Kinloch Anderson, the WCGC tartan has a rationale and a background story. The Carrick Golf Course was designed by Doug Carrick, a name associated with the Kennedy clan. So the Kennedy tartan is the basis of the WCGC tartan design. The colours of the tartan are a tonal mix blues an grey hich re ect the corporate colour o the logo an a ne hite line pa e through altire lue to repre ent the

cotti h ag he tartan ha een officially regi tere in the Scottish Register of Tartans.

Deirdre and her husband Douglas Kinloch Anderson OBE, hairman o the ompany repre ent the th generation o

family management. John Kinloch Anderson, their younger son, is Chief Executive and manages the Company as the sixth generation supported by his brother, Peter, his sister, Claire and his wife, Jo.

Celebrating nearly 150 years at the forefront of Scottish clothing and textiles, and particularly renowned for kiltmakiing and Highland Dress, Kinloch Anderson has been based in Edinburgh since 1868. From modest beginnings as men’s bespoke tailors the global company is privileged to hold Royal Warrants of Appointment as tailors and kiltmakers to HM The Queen, HRH

The Duke of Edinburgh and HRH The Prince of Wales. Kinloch n er on r t upplie the oyal amily in 03 ut it a in

The Queen’s Royal Warrant was granted in 1955, The Duke of Edinburgh’s in 1960 and The Prince of Wales in 1980. The Royal Family have their own exclusive tartan, the Balmoral tartan, which was designed by HRH Prince Albert for Queen Victoria in 1857.

Over its long history Kinloch Anderson has proved to be innovative and internationally minded.The Kinloch Anderson

ran i entity re ect the heritage o the ompany an the lifestyle of Scotland. The Company currently manufactures under licence in the Far East where there are over 300 Kinloch Anderson shops with merchandise ranges including menswear, ladieswear, childrenswear, shoes, leather goods, household textiles, gifts and accessories.

As a step further into the rich development of the Kinloch n er on ran the ompany ha e pan e it pro le ith it

own range of high quality whiskies. Each whisky is synonymous ith one o the ou e tartan re ecting the ame eman or

excellence and luxury which has remained within the Company throughout the generations.

Traditional yet modern, Scottish yet British, Kinloch Anderson is a Company which never stands still, which strives to form the best partnerships across the globe. Kinloch Anderson is therefore extremely proud of its links with WCGC and looks forward to growing this collaboration in the coming months and years.

Tartan is not just a colourful checked pattern, tartan is a design with a meaning and has a real sense of belonging.

GOLF LIVE SCORING?

YES!

PRODUCT BACKGROUND

In 2006 a collection of keen golfers and tech savvy individuals came up with the idea for live golf scoring. A prototype app was developed and the response was exceptional. Long before the iPhone and term app was common currency, live golf scoring became a phenomenon at many corporate events across the UK.

The product is simple, using unique handheld scorepads, players can track their progress through live leaderboards, enabling them to check out the competition, and see what’s happening elsewhere on the course, in real-time as the game unfolds.

All the action is also broadcast live on VPAR’s interactive touchscreens, as well as the club’s own screens, in the clubhouse. Spectators can even browse the scores live online, as well as viewing statistics during and after the event.

Ultimately, the overriding vision for VPAR is to change the world of golf on two fronts, “to be the driving force behind the live golf scoring phenomena’’ and “to develop the ultimate golfing app - providing everything a golfer needs from scoring to performance tracking, GPS to scorecard history”, words of Julian Sykes, VPAR founding partner.

THE VPAR APP

Building on the exceptional feedback received at managed events, VPAR realized early on that the appetite for a golf app was the obvious next step for the business. As many groups play in a fourball or less it was clear that live-scoring alone would not be enough to capture the imagination of the app user. What was needed was something far more integrated into the requirements of the golf experience, including such things as GPS course planner, performance tracking, venue information and social aspects as well.

he i ion or the app i to pro uce the complete gol ng app encompassing all these features. A bold project but one that VPAR is already a long way to achieving and won Best Sports App at the Sports APP at the Sports Technology Awards in 2014.

VPAR is the global leader of live golf scoring. It´s technology is trusted by hundreds of golf clubs and event organizers across 20 countries and five continents and supplies over 900 events each year ranging from

Corporate and Charity Golf Days, Club Championships, Pro, Amateur and Pro Am tournaments.

NEW COURSE PREPARATION

AND HANDLING TOURNAMENT

NERVES

Playing a new course always has challenges. I think this is especially true for tee shots where it is too easy to be distracted by all the hazards, and it causes you to become focused on all the things you don’t want to do. Negative thoughts such as ‘don’t hit it right on this hole’, or that little voice that appears from nowhere as you stand over the shot and tells you ‘if you don’t hit a good one here you’ll be in trouble’, can be eliminated with the right mental approach. No matter what handicap you have, a typical round of golf contains good shots and bad shots as well as good holes and bad hole e all tan on the r t tee praying or the e t roun of our lives, all we are doing is increasing tension and increasing our expectations. Miracles rarely happen in golf, especially on a new course and after a late night!

he r t hot in a roun count the ame a all the other an although it i a relie to get a goo one in play on the r t hole, it isn’t the end of the round if it goes poorly. When Annika Sorenstam, the number one lady in the game, played the PGA Tour event at Colonial, she came up with the strategy of allowing

hate er happene on the r t tee u t to happen an then make a plan for the rest of the hole from wherever her tee shot landed. Accept that you are going to be nervous when your name is called out and you wobble over to try and tee up your ball. Your hands feel tight and your swing momentarily deserts you. Your brain is thinking of the increasingly long list of all the things you shouldn’t do and you panic!

ter hole you nally ettle o n ut the roun i alrea y lo t If you think about it you hit some good shots and bad shots and no one has much control over which order they arrive. Expect that you will play 6 good holes, 6 average holes and be in trouble

for 6 holes. This is a better expectation and a far easier attitude to a opt than tan ing on the r t tee an telling your el that this is an important competition and you had better play the best 18 holes of your life.

a e a trategy o playing into the igge t pace o the tee o don’t hesitate to leave your Driver in the bag more often than you would at your home course. Take aim at the middle of the green an on t e oole into aiming at all the ag he ag only shows you where the hole is and doesn’t mean you have to take dead aim at it from everywhere. Know all the holes where you have your shots and adjust your par accordingly. So if you ha e a hot on the r t an it i normally a par play it i a par 5 an ta e the pre ure o your el It will be a great event on a great course. I am looking forward to meeting you an come an n me on the range i you ant a tournament tune up. Good luck,Simon

Have a strategy of playing into the biggest spaces off the tee, so don’t hesitate to leave your Driver in the bag more often than you would at your home course.

If you have a shot on the first and it is normally a par , play it is a par and take the pressure off yourself.

1. It is clear that Cascais is one of the best golf destinations of the world, not only due to the climate but to the quality of the courses. What do you think marks the difference? First of all, and if I am allowed, I would like to give a warm welcome to golfers from all around the world that will join us soon in Cascais. I would also add that it is a great pleasure for Cascais to welcome such distinguished event as the WCGC.

Regarding your question, Cascais is the best place to live a day or a lifetime as we like to say. For that to be true, Cascais has also to be the best place say it to write a book, draw a painting or play golf. The climate and the unique courses are certainly a distinctive feature of Cascais. But I would add some more: the history of a place that has just entered in its 650th year; the charm of a Village that throughout centuries was a meeting point for royals and nobles, artists and common men; the unique golden sand beaches and the luxuriant natural parks – some of them UNESCO World Heritage – at the westernmost point of continental Europe.

Last but not least, people of Cascais welcome guests in an incompara le arm ay oull n it all ery oon n uch a glo ali e

orl e are not a rai to tre our i erence our i entity

2. But, Cascais can offer many other things.Indeed. Culture lives in Cascais – we are proud to host some of the leading museums in Portugal in our ‘Museum Quarter’, such as the reckon Casa das Histórias Paula Rego. Sports live in a cai our regatta el i ran e among the top 3 in the world by the most prominent sailors and that’s why we staged the America’s Cup World Series back in 2011; for almost ten years in a row, riders choose to organize the Global Champions Tour (the famous 5-star show jumping event) in our glamorous Cascais; and our beaches stage world leading surf events. Quality of life lives in Cascais – our carefully planned and tippically

ortugue e illage i prou to o er our citi en an gue t rom all around the world high standard health services, education and nature.

We have a FIA race track, a private airport, thirteen 5* hotels, 30 m o an y eache an ome o the ne t gol cour e n all this just 20 min away from an European Capital.

Cascais is a perfect place to visit but it is even better than that if you choose to be one of us, if you choose to live here. 3. If you were new in the city, which places would you love to visit?

ith only one ay in a cai hat i clearly in ufficient one must visit the stunning Cascais –Sintra Natural Park and Guincho; Boca do Inferno; the Museum Quarter and old town. And of cour e on t mi a meal ith the e t h you pro a ly ha e ever had.

We had the opportunity to have a really interesting chat with the Mayor of Cascais, where he not only spoke about the virtues of his city, but also how Cascais is looking

forward to hosting the 2015 World Final.

4. Do you play golf Mr Carreiras? If it´s a yes, do you think it´s necessary a mixture of knowledge, leadership, team player skills and a bit of humour to get to win a championship? Is it the same recipe for corporate / politic issues? Unfortunately I don’t. Maybe one day, who knows? But certainly it works that way in politics. Both for Golf and Politics the smaller the handicap, the better you succeed.

5. Apart from it´s versatile facilities, perfect climate, a diverse range of cultural offerings and a wide choices of infrastructures and accommodations, which do you consider may be the best opportunities of investment in Cascais? We are making a strong investment in several areas. I would point out only three of them. First, the Sea. With a vast shore, and still waiting for the UN evaluation of the extension of Portuguese continental Platform, our Atlantic is plain of opportunities for companies and entrepreneurs. Only maritime biotech and maritime bioresources have an estimated potential value of 3bn euros in 2020.

In Cascais we have just launched the BlueBio Alliance, a group of 80 companies that have just started to exploration of our sea. Second, I would mention the tourism industry. With more than 1 million tourists staying in our hotels in 2014, and leading the touri m oom in ortugue e economy a cai o er a lot o opportunities in industry clusters such as Housing, Business, Food and Health and Ageing. Third, our case for a smart city. We are investing in a new model of city where knowledge, not capital, is placed at the center; where technology serves citizens; where rationality an humanity outpace inefficiency an i tance

6. Why do you think Cascais is being so successful in hosting corporate events over the last years? n one or e are a premium e tination o ering premium services for premium events.

7. Not long ago you presented the event plan for 2015 and World Corporate Golf Challenge had a place in that calendar (which really delights us). Is it a Cascais objective continue organizing events of this nature in the future? Yes, certainly. Major sporting and cultural events are crucial for u in e eral ay r t they are ri er o local economic gro th and job creation; second, they spot Cascais in decisive markets; an nally they are uni ue contri utor or the international notoriety of Cascais.

Tony Jacklin hit the first televised hole-in-one in Britain at the -yard th at Royal St. George’s.

At the beginning of April, WCGC received a great news: legendary golfer and Ryder Cup Captain Tony Jacklin was coming to this year’s World Final in Cascais, Portugal.

n or o thi icon or a generation o gol ng giant “I am delighted to be involved with the World Corporate Golf Challenge again, more specifically at this year’s World Final in Cascais. It’s a great event for businesses to entertain customers and network with decision makers across a variety of industry sectors both domestically and globally. The event has a great heritage and I am excited to continue my role in helping to raise the profile of the event and to expanding the tournament around the world.”

n 0 ony ecame an fficial lo al m a a or to the e ent where he attended World Finals in both South Africa in 2011 and Scotland in 2013. He will once again be returning to the 2015 World Final where competitors and guests will be treated to ‘An Evening with Tony Jacklin CBE’, kindly hosted and sponsored by Estoril Casino.

This tribute to his career will be packed with full inspirational stories from Tony Jacklin CBE, arguably the powerhouse behind European Golf, responsible for engineering the greatest sporting revolution of the 20th century.

the greatest players of the day Tony Jacklin proceeded to attack everything else in life with the same enthusiasm that he had once committed to golf, but it wasn’t long before his passion was reignited. In 1983, Jacklin accepted the role of Ryder Captain, embarking on the next chapter of his golf career.

While Jacklin’s individual record is exemplary, he is perhaps better known for elevating and transforming the Ryder Cup to its current status. Jacklin set the wheels in motion to end the

In 1985, he was the in pirational non-playing captain or urope r t ictory in the Ryder Cup in 28 years. The toothy grin on Jacklin’s face as he wrapped his arms around the trophy was almost as big as the Ryder Cup itself.

World Corporate Golf Challenge Chairman, Jose Guerra said “We are delighted Tony has once again agreed to support the tournament as our Global Ambassador, he is the ideal person for the role. His achievements and values both on and off the course mirror the event perfectly. As a player, dedication and passion were fundamental to his success and as Ryder Cup Captain he insisted on everything being first class from the team uniforms to flying Concorde. These values are integral to the WCGC and our ambition to deliver a world class event and a once in a lifetime experience.

A the beginning of 2015, the International Chamber of Commerce ecame the fficial lo al artner o the orl orporate

Golf Challenge (WCGC). The new venture is set to expand international participation, branding and media attention, making the event the “must-play” golf tournament of the year for business executives around the globe.

An established event, held consecutively for 20 years, now plans to launch new tournaments in emerging and established markets across every continent to increase the number of business executives taking part worldwide. The ambition is to host events in over 60 countries and recruit more than 40,000 high level executives, representing approximately 25,000 companies year on year.

The International Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1919 to serve world business by promoting trade and investment, open mar et or goo an er ice an the ree o o capital y that time, the world had few working international structures in the imme iate a termath o the r t o the 0th century glo al con ict here a no orl y tem o rule to go ern tra e in e tment nance or commercial relation hat the pri ate ector houl tart lling the gap ithout aiting or go ernment

was ground-breaking. It was an idea that took hold.

he original nucleu o u ine men rom e countrie ha expanded to become a world business organization with hundreds of thousands of member companies in more than 120 countries. Members include many of the world’s biggest multinationals as well as small- and medium-sized companies.

ICC Secretary General John Danilovich said: “This exciting partnership is not only a union between two respected organi ation ut al o a r t-rate opportunity to eli er alue or our members and our global network of ICC national committees in over 90 countries.” Traditionally the tournament has appealed to senior business executives but Jose Guerra, WCGC Chairman, believes the future may see a shift in the players’ demographic. “By the very nature of the event, until now senior executives have pre ominantly participate in the competition ut our e ort no are focused on expanding participation to C-Suite management, business owners and entrepreneurs. Our goal is to make WCGC the “Who’s Who” of executive sporting events,” he said.

ith the i e cope an pro le o the tournament et to reach new heights, the event will intensify interest from business media and multiply corporate sponsorship investment from multinational and blue chip companies across multiple industry sectors.Oliver Dury, WCGC’s Business Development Director said: “The combination of ICC’s global executive membership and WCGS’s world-class event and media partners, will accelerate the event and take it to another level.”

The 2015 World Corporate Golf Challenge Final takes place in Cascais, Portugal at Oitavos Five Star Hotel and world-class Oitavos Dunes Golf Course, 30 June - 5th July 2015.

Last month I was invited to compete in “The Villages Entertainer of the Year” tournament in The Villages in Florida and, as you can see from the photo, I managed to win the event and picked up a nice (jumbo Happy Gilmore style!) cheque too.

I did perform well despite the nerves that come with these events, ut it might ha e een uite i erent ithout a con er ation

with two friends at a local golf tournament earlier in the month.

They are both excellent players and between them had won over 50 pro e ional e ent in the region an i er a el

I assumed that having won so much, they would both feel uite con ent a out their game oul e com orta le in

a competitive situation and would have absolutely no nerves at all – ever.

They also (quite wrongly) assumed that because I performed shows in front of large audiences all over the world that I would also be equally comfortable in a competitive situation.

How could we have all been so wrong?

Don’t worry, the other guy feels it as well.....

One of them said that every time he went to an event he reached the car park and wanted to turn the car around and go home! The other had said he hated the feeling before the round but it o ten i appeare a ter the r t hot ha een playe

I told them I felt exactly the same way for any golf competition no matter how small but, that I had absolutely no nerves at all when

I was performing a golf show UNLESS it was in a competition – and I was being judged.

It made me realise that sometimes you simply cannot avoid nerves – you’ll often just have to try to use them to your advantage.....

The Villages Entertainer of the Year competition

I said to myself, if the nerves are going to happen anyway, my reaction to them would be very important.

It was helpful that I expected some nervousness so it did not make me panic and then I used what psychologists call “self talk”’ to re uce their in uence on my per ormance

Nerves are all about control.

I decided to just have some fun with the audience and not worry about the judging...which Icould not control anyway.

I asked myself which interpretation of the nervous feeling I preferred...

“Crikey, I am so nervous that I am going to fail!” or “I have seen thi e ore an ll e ne

I discovered that being nervous might make you FEEL that you cannot perform – but it does not actually MEAN that you cannot perform.

He woke up on the Sunday morning and felt that terrible feeling we all know in the pit of his stomach. He felt like he had to win, otherwise people would say he could not handle the pressure BUT he was so nervous that he thought they might be right.

That day, he used his experiences the previous year to conquer his nerves, played beautifully and won the tournament.

It is a lesson that anyone can learn

Whether you’re making an important sales pitch to a potential client ta ing an e am or teeing o in ront o your rien on the

r t tee thi atur ay the chance are you ll e eeling it

The trick is to know that it is still possible to perform well AND that everyone else feels exactly the same way.

The most fully prepared and knowledgeable student in an exam will still feel incredibly nervous......but he or she is still the best prepared student and is still likely to do very well.

It is a lesson I remembered just in time for the competition in Florida last month. I was able to ignore my nerves and ended up really enjoying the performance.

The outcome took care of itself and, before I knew it, I had become The Villages Entertainer of the Year for 2015... it is not the Ryder Cup or the US Open but it still felt pretty good!

I will try to remember it next time I feel nervous.

Anyway, I hope hearing this has helped you in some way – I know tal ing a out it ith other ma e a real i erence to me

Best Wishes,

“At the start of the day, I would have traded places with any form of life on the planet... but by the end of the day, I would not have traded places with anything!”

Tony Jacklin – Ryder Cup hero

Ryder Cup legend and two time major champion Tony Jacklin said exactly the same thing when I spoke to him at the World Corporate Golf Challenge World Final.

He told me a story that illustrated the point very well.

Competitive-golf-makes-me-really-nervous-02He played in the last match of the 1969 Ryder Cup against Jack Nicklaus and with a hole to go both their match AND the whole Ryder Cup was tied.

As they were walking up the fairway, Nicklaus said to Tony “How are you feeling?”

Tony replied that he was feeling ‘nervous as anything’ and Nicklaus, sporting and generous as ever, said to him;

“Well, if it is any consolation, so am I!”

After the famous concession of a short putt at the last by Nicklaus, they halved the hole, their match and the Ryder Cup.

Jacklin concluded that everyone has nerves but, actually, it was a great thing to know that you could still perform when you had them.

He used that idea to win the 1970 US Open at Hazeltine in Minnesota where, after three days, Jacklin had a four shot lead.

Sogrape was founded in 1942 by the visionary Fernando van Zeller Guedes. From the earliest days, the company’s mission was to introduce and promote Portuguese wines to wine-lovers all around the world. Today, more than 70 years on, Sogrape is still a family company, innovative yet respectful of tradition. The company owns more than 1 500 hectares of vineyards in Portugal’s main winegrowing regions, as well as in Spain, Argentina, New Zealand and Chile. The prime objective is still, today and tomorrow, to produce wines of excellence. With an international reputation for market success and innovation, the company has a long track record of responding to the requirements of consumers and trade partners alike. Vital to this mission has been the development of Portuguese brands with global reach, such as Mateus Rosé and Sandeman – the two

ran that are offical pon or o the nal roun in a cai of the World Corporate Golf Challenge 2015. Sogrape’s portfolio al o inclu e pre tigiou ran uch a ey erreira an Casa Ferreirinha.

– Mateus Rosé. The resounding success of Mateus in more than 120 countries proved a decisive impetus for growth, and a vital core round which the company has developed into a market leader.

Sogrape has always been very much open to innovation, keen to o thing i erently ri en in ee y thi principle throughout

its evolution. The company has managed to remain true to the founder’s vision while all the time adapting to the inevitable changes brought by time. It has boldly pressed forward into international markets, and acquired other leading brands, such as Sandeman, which joined the company’s portfolio in 2002. Sandeman is the best-distributed brand of Port in the world, also incorporating top-quality Sherries, Madeira and Sandeman Brandies. Sogrape’s impressively wide portfolio of wines is a demonstration in itself of how extensive the company has become. It also gives an insight into just how much know-how has been accumulated o er the eca e in o many i erent place in the orl hi wide-ranging experience has enabled Sogrape to adopt, adapt and develop the best possible practices in vineyard and winery.

Conte of Florence brand was born in a little shop opened in Florence on the right bank of the Arno river in 1952. Originally o ering la ie clothing ma e e clu i ely y han y ome o the city’s best-known dressmakers, the shop was soon converted into a ski hat manufacturer, particularly well known for the dawn hat which became an icon in ski-ware in the ‘70s and worn by hundreds of thousands including Pope John Paul II. In the early ‘80’s, Conte of Florence introduced the golfwear collection an com ine r t cla talian e ign to one o the most true British sports, that continues a tradition started from the strong English community populating the Tuscan Capital at the end of the XIX century. Following the brand motto “Always with the Winners” many great champions have worn Conte of Florence garments in the past. Among them skiers Gustav Thoeni, Alberto Tomba and Herman Maier and golfers in the league of Costantino Rocca, Thomas Bjorn, Robert Karlsson and Diana Luna. Conte of Florence is today a proud sponsor of several great athletes and the “C” with the lily is visible on greens worldwide and in many owned branded shops, always combining style with a touch of Florence on a true sportswear collection.

MIGUEL CHAMPALIMAUD

3. How did The Oitavos estate develop from its original idea to what it is today? Origins, mission, vision, values. The long short story, give or take, goes like this…In 1908 Carlos Montez Champalimaud (great-grandfather) discovered this magni cent piece o the ortugue e lan an r t ac uire it in 1922 – 700 hectares west of Lisbon. His vision to that piece of land!? To develop what he used to call the Garden City – a luxury residential and tourism destination with sports facilities infra-structures. When the property was bought there were sand dunes, shrubs, rocks, cows and some traditional agriculture. Because sand dunes move with the wind my great grand-ather ha the nee to ta ili e them ence hi r t or a

the stabilization of those sand dunes and the plantation of the Pine forest (the one that still exists today). During the 20’s the Equestrian Center was established (great-grandfather project). In the 30´s a master plan was ordered in the UK for the development of the property. This master plan included hotels, golf courses, sports facilities, real estate development. In the late 30’s my great grandfather died and left the property to his four children (Antonio, Henrique, Carlos and Ana). The property

a then i i e into i erent companie y gran ather Carlos Sommer Champalimaud, the 3rd son of great-grandfather, secured in this division the Equestrian Center and the nicest part of the property (sea views, forest and sands dunes). Although a master plan existed, from the late 30’s through the late 70’s no major visible developments took place as the Second World War started and there was a lack of capital for all the developments. Importantly during this period though water wells were drilled in the adjacent hills, roads were opened, permits were secured, sand dunes kept being stabilized and the

1. Who is Miguel Montez Champalimaud? I’m the fourth generation of the Champalimaud family. Happily marrie an u t ha my r t chil hich name arlo onte Champalimaud (the 5th generation) as a tribute to both my grandfather and great grand-father. I’m a sports man since my early teen ith a unior competiti e career in ur ng ol came into my life when the family built Oitavos Dunes in 2001. Currently I’m the General Manager at The Oitavos hotel where I have the opportunity to work with both my family and with a great operational teams.

2. How has your grandfather, the successful Portuguese entrepreneur Carlos Montez Champalimaud inspired you? Well…, Carlos Montez Champalimaud was my great-grand father, and although I never had the chance to meet him he surely inspired me through his vision back in the 1920’s. Imagine this: a gentleman, doctor of profession, but with an entrepreneur personality buying 700 hectares of land with sand and rocks and away from civilization. Back then it would take you 2 to 3 hours to get to Cascais from Lisbon. The vision to his purchase!? He knew that with time the country would bring development to the west of Lisbon and that those 700 hectares would become immensely valuable. His mission was to develop what he used to call the Garden City – a luxury residential and tourism destination. My grandfather Carlos Sommer Champalimaud, the 3rd son of Carlos Montez Champalimaud, inspired me in many ways both personally and professionally. His perseverance, fairness, kindness to others and free spirit are some of his personality trait that in uence me a a per on

OK_R_WCGC.indd 86 17/6/15 20:19

Pine forest increased. These works were essential to the future development of the property as it is today. In terms of a residential area, in the beginning, only the Champalimaud family established their house and made use of the immense property. But at one point in time friends of the family bought one or two plots and started establishing their weekend and summer houses. The family used to invite friends for family meals, hunting and riding horses in the property and along Guincho beach. If my grandfather secured the best part of the property during its division with his brothers it was up to my father, Miguel Champalimaud, to continue the initial dream and complete the mission. Under his leadership were established Oitavos Dunes golf in 2001, the Health & Racket Club in 2004 and The Oitavos hotel in 2010. The Oitavos hotel completed the mission of Carlos Montez Champalimaud.

4. Always surrounded by sea views. Did your love for surfing have anything to do with this? elie e that my pa ion or ur ng an the e ign layout structure of The Oitavos are both a consequence of part of what the area o a cai o er un light an the tlantic cean These three characteristics make you want to be outside and enjoy the active life. Surf came into my life through my father. He

a an till i a each a ciona o an hen my rother an I were young (7 to 10 years old) he wanted to have us enjoy the time with him, so he bought the family a surf board!

5. It´s notorious that The Oitavos hasn´t left any detail to chance: its architecture shaped letter “Y”, sunrises and sunsets in the rooms at the both ends of the hotel, the selection of colors, which reflect the nature surrounding the estate ... Is this representative of The Oitavos hotel’s business culture?

Indeed! The Oitavos hotel is one of four businesses the family runs in the property. The Equestrian Center established in 1922 is still the best reference in the country, Oitavos Dunes is the best reference in the country and one of the best in the world and the

ealth ac et lu i the e t re erence in the tne area in the country. In all of these four businesses no detail has been left to chance. That’s a consequence of the family owned, family managed business and passion for what we do. At The Oitavos hotel I make sure that as the General Manager every guest is well loo e a ter ttention to etail ma e all the i erence in the hospitality business.

6. Talking about golf, how did Oitavos Dunes become one of the best golf courses in the world (this is not only considered by WCGC, but also by Golf Magazine 2013 edition, positioning the course at 65 in the world ranking and 2nd in Europe)? Location, location, location…. Arthur Hills, the golf course architect says: “Miguel Champalimaud blessed us with one of the

ne t piece o gol ng hea en any here in ontinental urope

ir t o all the etting i ramatic ith magni cent ie o the Sintra Mountains, the Atlantic Ocean and the westernmost point of Continental Europe - Cabo da Roca. Secondly we disturbed little of the environment as we routed the golf course in harmony with a piece of property sculpted by nature. Umbrella pines planted more than 70 years ago are a feature

on many of the outward nine and the sand dunes preserved by my family over generations provided a true Links experience.

If you add the above with a special care and attention to details by my father, the Head Green Keeper, and his team you have a winning formula.

7. There are only a few courses (two actually) that have achieved Gold Audubon Signature Sanctuary. What did this award/recognition entail for Oitavos Dunes? Above all it entails a responsibility to the environment and to the ecosystem of the area. It is also with pride that we carry such international i tinction in the en ironment el y great-gran ather a the r t per on in the area to pre er e the an

dunes, today these same sand dunes are an important part to the ecosystem of the Sintra – Cascais Natural Park. Oitavos Dunes was only possible because it not only respected the environment but it also added to it by bringing the Audubon environment standards and procedures to the area of Cascais.

8. As a golfer, what advice can you give our participants at the World Final 2015? Oitavos Dunes plays like a links course on most holes. Control the tra ectory o your hot y playing a lo all ight a e ure you understand where the Atlantic Ocean is closer to the green when you are putting! Remember Oitavos Dunes sits on a peninsula!

9. As a successful entrepreneur, how does it feel to welcome the 2015 World Corporate Golf Challenge World Final to Cascais and in particular at The Oitavos hotel and Oitavos Dunes? It feels very good and it makes me proud! At the same time this prestige event brings a sense of readiness and enthusiasm to every team member at both The Oitavos hotel and Oitavos Dunes golf. 10. To finish, we know the Hotel has one of the best cuisines of the area, the Ipsylon restaurant. Which is your favorite dish of the chef de cuisine, Cyril Devilliers? You know that an important part of recovering energy after a tough tournament, in addition to the spa, jet pool or a gym session, is a full stomachs! Chef Cyril Devilliers and his team are excellent at the Ipsylon restaurant! It’s impossible to choose one dish only…. From the Bistro menu I would highlight Fried egg, Iberian chorizo and pepper ctopu ala li e oil eep rie cuttle h garlic and coriander; Potato and cheese croquete. For dinner I would highlight the daily “Diner du Chef” which is the daily dinner suggestion of Chef Cyril. To round up I would suggest pheasants broth of the dishes Cyril and his team have on the Gastro menu.

GHIBLI, A DRIVING PLEASURE

It shares much of its core architecture, including its crash safety, its chassis, its suspension architecture, its engines and its LED headlight technology, with the larger Quattroporte, though it is 50 kg lighter, 173 mm shorter in the wheel base and 291 mm shorter overall. The Ghibli’s design team was challenged to produce a sedan that emphasized its more dynamic driving characteristics through a more aggressive visual personality, yet still maintained discernible visual links with the Quattroporte.

The grille takes its inspiration from the current GranTurismo and it can draw a line back to the classic 1950s A6 GCS. It also maintains Maserati’s distinctive C-pillar treatment, which delivers much of the coupe-like stance and carries the classical Saetta Maserati logo, carrying on a tradition dating back to 1963.

Inside, the Ghibli sets itself apart from the Quattroporte with a unique dashboard design that perfectly matches its sportier and more youthful character without losing any of the luxury expected from Maserati. The Ghibli also delivers a sporty design combined with all the spaciousness expected in an executive sedan from Maserati.

The Ghibli, the Ghibli S, the Ghibli S Q4 and the Ghibli Diesel all utilize an eight-speed automatic transmission to deliver their performance, providing seamless comfort with fast gear shifting for hard acceleration.

It also delivers new standards in quality in every area from design, development, fabrication and process controls. It is produced in a new plant that combines Maserati’s traditions of craftsmanship with cutting-edge technologies that are able to guarantee outstanding quality by controlling even the tiniest details. The Ghibli has entered the E-segment sports premium market with a marked advantage in cabin craftsmanship and detailing, including luxury features like the Maserati Touch Control screen, adjustable pedals, reversing camera, Poltrona Frau leather interior and the 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkes audio system, as well as WLAN-based WiFi and compatibility with most modern mobile phone systems.

MANUEL DI PIETRO

Portugal has long been associated with the World Corporate Golf Challenge, however for the first time in the history of the event, the annual World Final will take place along the

wonderful Lisbon Coast in Cascais.

1. Where does your interest in golf come from?

My passion for golf is a consequence of my sporting life, the coincidence of a business project and the creation of my company 10 years ago. Portugal Golf Show, Lda, was created in order to produce a golf fair in Portugal and to also run golf events. Since then my p assion for business and golf has steadily grown over time.

2. How did you become a WCGC License Holder?

We knew about the WCGC project in Portugal for a long time, and ha in act participate in the ortugue e uali er un er the previous License Holder. The WCGC Portugal License became free so we met with Jose Guerra, Chairman of theWCGC, and within three days we had signed the contract and were starting to develop the event in Portugal. It has been a huge project with great success!

3. You have now been a License Holder for four years. What are the reasons that keep you working with the WCGC project?

The WCGC is a worldwide concept and for us, it is a huge privilege to organise this event.The size of the event, the business lobby and the professionalism of WCGC team, have reinforced the reason why we are involved. It is an honour to continue to have the license in Portugal.

4. This year will be the first time in the history of the WCGC that the World Final will take place in Portugal. What are the benefits for you as a license holder having the event in your country?

It is a great pride for us to have the license, so you can imagine how pleased I am to be able to help bring the World Final to Portugal and be part of the organisation of the event. Cascais is a great destination that has a strong focus on the success of this tournament. Our goal is to make this the best World Final in the history of the WCGC.

a icen e ol er the ene t are many rom the notoriety o the uali er in ortugal the increa e i i ility o the e ent to all national golfers, and above all the fantastic experience of working directly in partnership with the WCGC.

5. Where you worried there might be a negative effect on your national event as a result of having the World Final in Portugal?

Not at all. We have managed to once again, accomplish WCGC events in Portugal, that are of the highest standard and competitive level. We are constantly judged by the participatincorporate companies that play in our events, and the opinion of the players has been very positive. The corporates that play in the WCGC

We catch up with WCGC Portugal License Holder Manuel Di Pietro, to discuss his national event and the business opportunity that bringing a World Final to his own country can create.

are loo ing or uality no matter here e are con ent that at both our national events and at the World Final, they are guaranteed this quality.

6. What advice would you give to your fellow License Holders who may be thinking of assisting the WCGC organisation in bringing a World Final to their country?

The advice I would give to them, is to look at this as a direct employment opportunity with the WCGC. Bringing and helping organise a World Final has been an excellent business opportunity and has really helped grow my own event. As a result I am certain that the lasting legacy of hosting a World Final in Portugal will ha e huge ene t or the uture o ortugal ol ho an the WCGC in Portugal
