Just a signature away

Nearly 4 month ago in early October we asked the German University Sport Federation (ADH) what it would take to bring the Students Matchplay to the next level. Nothing more than an application to host an official German University Sport event, they said. So we filled out a four pages form, sent it over to the sports director, only to learn, that Catholic University wasn't eligible to host such a tournament. Because it wasn't a member university of the ADH.

Not.

Good.

So we went to the other university in Ingolstadt, the Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences, had a chat with their golf team captain (nice lad!) and their deputy president (fine guy as well!), and a gazillion emails later we tonight received a telephone call. Their university will sign the application form for us. Great, huh? That means, that with a bit of luck the Students Matchplay will be a "ADH trophy", which means that all German participants can ask their university sports department for funding. Students Matchplay thus will become the second official university golf tournament beside the German University Golf Championships.
