German Navy tees off: golf tournament started in Mennhausen!
The 39th German Navy Golf Open was ceremoniously opened on June 16, 2025. In the middle of the picturesque landscape of the golf course in Mennhausen near Wilhelmshaven, numerous participants came together to share their golf experience and support a good cause. The event, which was organized by the operational flotilla 2, is a major event among golf tournaments and combines sporting ambition with social commitment.
Captain Sven Beck, represented by Captain Andreas Wagner, accepted the patronage of the tournament and opened the event with a welcoming speech by Ingo Minkau, the district chairman. The support of the German Armed Forces Association, both financially and logistically, was crucial to the success of this event. Andreas Pötter, Jens Wohlgemuth and Stefan Beckmann were also on site to provide the participants with advice and support. Physiotherapist Stefan Beckmann also offered valuable help for players who were struggling with tension.
A sporting event with a heart for the community
One of the main goals of the German Navy Golf Open is to support the Soldiers and Veterans Foundation, which also makes the event a charity event. Charity golf tournaments, like the ones we see at this event, combine sporting performance with social commitment, as carolinemasson.de emphasizes. These tournaments promote charitable projects and strengthen a sense of community among participants.
The tournament format called for an 18-hole course run by the Wilhelmshaven-Friesland e.V. golf club. Over the distances of 7 to 10 kilometers, the golfers were challenged to give their best and achieve or even beat the course record of 69 shots. The goal was a “par” of 72 shots, which already challenged some of the most talented players.
The participants and their ambition
The German Navy Golf Open primarily brought together members of the Navy as well as players from other branches of the armed forces and alumni. Such events are not only a platform for top sporting achievements, but also an excellent opportunity to maintain old comrades and make new acquaintances. This tradition is upheld and is the core of the event, which emphasizes not only sporting but also comradely values.
As with the Golf Tournament of the Bamberg Business Club, which took place on July 8, 2023, the focus at many golf events is on exchange, coupled with a slight competitive spirit. This is reflected in the estimated entry fee and the warm offers made to participants.
In summary, the German Navy Golf Open is not only a sporting meeting, but also an important social event that brings joy and has a positive influence on the community.
