Distinguished Members of Istanbul Golf Club,
I have taken over the position of Captain of Istanbul Golf Club from Mr. Nüzhet Atabek with the great favor shown to me by our Board of Directors.
First of all, I would like to thank our Board of Directors for their trust in me.
I would also like to express my gratitude to Mr. Nüzhet Atabek for his dedication to the captain and his contribution to the unity and solidarity of İGK members.
Dear Members,
Last of the General Assembly showed that Istanbul Golf Club Although there is no field for 5 years, should the diligent work of the former management, as well as thanks to the full support of the stance of the altruistic and clubs of all members, still Turkey's largest and most important 'Golf is a club.
Our mission is to take over the flag we took over and make our 123 year old club one of the most prominent golf clubs in Europe and even the world with our new Riva MVK field.
Our other mission is to find new, young and talented golfers, to train them as good golfers and individuals with our contemporary training in our MVK field and to support these players proudly representing our club and our country in the world.
In the short term, our goal is to play as many golf courses as possible in unity and solidarity until the time it takes place.
While health professionals constantly recommend plenty of outdoors, according to the results of a 75-year study completed by Harvard University last year, it has been proved that those who establish close relationships and strong ties with friends and their community are happier and live longer, in other words, being happy and healthy. While describing 'Golf Sport' as the way, I think we should realize how lucky we are individuals.
The weather began to warm up and the spring season began to show its warm face. Then let's play golf together in Istanbul, Antalya, Ankara, Bodrum, Cyprus, Kusadasi, Samsun and even abroad.
I wish all of us a 'Good Games'…
Yours truly,
F. BERTAN GÜRKAN
