Qualification of Canadian Team for

 2008 World Cup of Pitch and Putt

The Federation of International Pitch and Putt Associations (FIPPA) has invited Canada to send a 3-person team to The 2008 World Cup of Pitch and Putt.  

The 2008 World Cup will be played at the Papendal course, Arnhem, The Netherlands, on October 15-18.  Nineteen teams are expected to participate in FIPPA’s third international event, including:

The Canadian Pitch and Putt Association (CPPA) is administering a competition to select a 3-member team that we will submit to represent Canada.   The team must be available to travel to the World Cup in October and able to cover their own travel costs.  The host committee in The Netherlands is working on reducing costs for accommodation for the team.  CPPA is a non-profit organization and does not have the funds to pay for the costs of the Canadian team, but we are actively seeking sponsors who can help offset the team’s expenses.

To qualify get your 3-person team organized and play a minimum of 3 rounds together at any of the participating courses.  Several Pitch and Putt facilities across Canada are participating in this competition:

• Beban Park Pitch & Putt Golf Course – Nanaimo, British Columbia
• Central Park Pitch & Putt - Burnaby, British Columbia
• Kensington Park Pitch & Putt - Burnaby, British Columbia
• Kinsmen Club of Edmonton - Edmonton, Alberta
