Nomination of players and officials by WMF

Dear minigolf friends,

as already reported we got a great invitation by the Japanese and Asian Minigolf Federation to take part at the 4th Asia Minigolf Open Championship 2006.

The WMF board asked in the meeting of 25th and 26th March 2006 the president together with the sportdirector to nominate the players and officials, who take the offered free tickets to Japan.

The decision was done on the following base:

  1. The proposals from the Youth committee got a high priority, because unfortunately the juniors couldn’t get a nomination at the same situation for the 1st Asia Open in Yokohama 2000.

  2. We take respect to the decision of all countries, who gave us an award of honourable players from their national federation. So we could choose 10 players from 10 different nations.

  3. We point out with this decision, that the WMF board is representing the small nations as well as the leading minigolf nations to join all of us together to a big minigolf family.

  4. We would like to answer this great offer from the Japanese and the Asian Minigolf Federation with bringing 10 flags from 10 countries to their championships to say in that way at least a small THANK YOU and to make it to a great event with participants from countries world wide !

  5. We also offer with this proposal participants with a lot of International and National Titles, for example the actual World Champions in women’s and men’s competition, Corinna Reinisch and Michel Rhyn.

    Nominated by WMF are:

    Players female
    Andrea Hackl, Austria
    Astra Myglane-Stanwyck, USA
    Dace Kupce, Latvia
    Corina Reinisch, Germany

    Further details for the participants will follow later on.
