The season showed sustained interest in the Czech International Amateur Golf Championships

During this season, these Czech open golf championships attracted a total of 633 players. The number of foreign golfers is encouraging. A total of five domestic championships attracted 109 foreigners, representing an average of 17% of the starting field. The greatest interest was in the Czech International Senior Amateur Championship in Karlovy Vary, where the flags of other European countries decorated almost half of the starting field.
