Christel Boeljon Won Turkish Airlines Ladies Open in Belek. 08-05-2011

Christel Boeljon has held her nerve to claim her first solo Ladies European Tour, title at the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open at National Golf Club in Belek, Antalya.

The 23-year-old from the Netherlands held a one stroke lead going into the final day and closed with a level par round of 73 for a five under par total Sunday.

She finished three strokes clear of her playing partners Florentyna Parker and Becky Brewerton, who double bogeyed the last.

Becky Brewerton had birdied the 16th and 17th to get within two strokes of the leader, only to find the water twice on the ultimate hole.

Last year's Turkish Airlines Ladies Open winner Melissa Reid had a one-under 72 in the final round and took fourth at the tournament.

Christel Boeljon opened with three birdies in her first four holes to move three clear of Florentyna Parker and despite dropping a shot at the par-four ninth, she remained three shots clear at the turn.

She opened up a five stroke advantage after 11 holes, having holed a curling five-footer for birdie on the 10th. Despite a shaky finish – with four bogeys and a chip-in birdie over the closing seven holes – she had the cushion she needed to walk away with the 37,500-euro first prize and trophy.

“It feels great. My mind is doing over hours right now. It’s great,” said Christel Boeljon. “You put so much hard work in it and to finally come out on top is an amazing feeling.

“I was a bit nervous for sure and the back nine was a bit messy, maybe, but the wind picked up as well and you could see it from the scores. They all went up. I was happy to keep my head down and keep grinding and it was enough.”

Ladies Europen Tour Commercial Director Axel Kaulmann said that although it was his first time in Turkey, he absolutely loved the atmosphere. “With its difficult set-up and the quality and beauty of the course, it has already made my top ten favorites list,” he said. He also said that the players really enjoyed playing here. “The hotel, the service, the quality of accommodation and the atmosphere were all praised by the players,” Axel Kaulmann said.

THE NEW TEMPLE OF GOLF ANTALYA BELEK

Our modern world often produces stressed, awkward, misdirected, unhappy and restless people as a downside to the advances. Unfortunately, I know of many people who have collapsed spiritually, have reduced self-confidence  and unwittingly taken to negative thinking. All is not lost however, there is a way of changing this!

Do you want your blood circulation to accelerate, the stres in your muscles to reduce, the control over your body to increase and want to feel good about yourself? If the pace of modern life is taking its toll, my advice is to make time for sports, but which one to choose? The choose is of course yours, but my suggestion is golf. To spend time in a beautiful  green place full of oxygen is relaxing and peaceful, with natural beauties to enjoy as you walk, it is often a great way to relax both spiritually and physically; a great way to increase your peace, harmony and happiness whilst getting that exercise that is so important.

HOW TO PLAY GOLF?

Golf is a game which played on a specially desingned course using golf clubs and a small hard ball. The golf course can be on a number of different terrains, but typically takes up around 75 acres of land, offering and average walk during an 18 hole game of circa 6500 meters. The goal is to make the first stroke from the starting point, the “Tee” and to get the ball into the hole, located on the “Green” a distance away, using as few turns (strokes) as possible. There will be a number of obstacles along the way to the hole to avoid, such as bunkers (sand traps), trees and water.

Each track consists of four main parts. The starting point (Tee); Fairway, this is the well kept short grassy area you will aim your tee shot towards; The Rough and Hazards on both sides of the fairway area with long grass, trees, shrubs, ponds, and sand traps; The Green ( Putting Green )  is covered with a high-quality grass, where the ball will be aimed into a hole, with a flag marked in the middle of it. Once the ball is putted into the hole, the score is recorded and play moves to the next tee. When all 18 (or 9 for a short game) are completed, the game is over and in the normal version of the game the player who has made the least strokes is declared the winner.

THE GOOD WEATHER OF ANTALYA-BELEK IS DEFINITELY A GOOD ADVANTAGE TO PLAY GOLF. BELEK IS BECOMING A NEW GOLF CENTER OF EUROPE.

If you want to take the first steps in this sport, Belek may will be the right choice for you. New investments are being made each year and the high-qualitly and desing of the golfcourses lure many enthusiasts from overseas to Belek, which naturally helps the economy abd further development of this region. There are some simple advantages that have helpedBelek to become as a golfing center.

In Belek there are currently 10 Golf Clubs along the 13 km coastline and a total of 14 Golf Courses (Links) between these clubs, desingned by famous golf course architects. In the “ 100 Best Golf Course in Europe “ list by Golf World Magazine, 3 links in Belek made in onto the “100 Best Golf Courses in Europe “ list by Your Golf Travel a renowed UK online golf travel company. 

BELEK NOW LOOKS FORWARD TO BEING THE VENUE FOR THE2012 WORLD AMATEUR GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP.

Even though golf courses are  desingned within the framework of certain standarts, no course is the same as another as the natural environment forms part of the play. These differences between courses cause constant challenge and allows player to choose the excitement and pleasure that variety, or familiarity with the “home” course, can bring. Belekallows an easy opportunitjy to experience a number of courses.

THE BEST GOLF TOURISM CENTER

Belek hosts an average of 50 golf tournaments annually, including some key events, and on reputation was honoured as “ Europe’s Best Golf Tourism Center “ in 2008 by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO). Belek now looks forward to being the venue fort he 2012 World Amateur Golf Championship. Belek is a garden of paradise, just 30 km from the airport and has been gifted with magnificent natural beauty.

I hope you will be able to say “Yes”, if someone asks you “Have you ever played golf in Belek?” because if golf is indeed a sacred thing beyond just a sport fort he players then new temple for worshipping the game can be found at Belek.
