Every year since 2005, Missing Children Europe has held a golf competition, accompanied by an award ceremony, reception, and dinner, to raise funds to support our work.

In 2023, the event will take place on Friday 9 June at the renowned Royal Golf Club of Belgium (Ravenstein).

Programme

This year the competition, a Canadian greensome as usual, will be played in a shotgun format: all golfers will begin simultaneously, with each group of 4 (2 teams of 2) starting from a different hole. This will require all participants to strictly adhere to the timing.
