Golf is included in coming 6th Pan-Armenian Games which will take place in August 2015, Yerevan, Armenia !!!
The idea of holding a Pan-Armenians Games (WCPAG) was first thought by Soviet diplomat Ashot Melik-Shahnazaryan. Today, the WCPAG is a non-governmental, international organization that collaborates with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), UNESCO, the Council of Europe and other international sport units and contributes in developing sport in Armenia.
The first Pan-Armenian Games took place from August 28, 1999 to September 5, 1999. Delegations from 62 cities and 23 countries participated in the games. The second Pan-Armenian Games took place in 2001, followed by the third one in 2003. In 2003, it was decided to transform the Games into once every four years (instead of once every two years). The fourth Pan-Armenian Games were held in 2007. The fifth Pan-Armenian Games were held in Yerevan, Armenia, from the 13th to the 21st of August 2011.
In coming 6th Pan-Armenian Games, on coming 2015 Golf will take place as an additional sport. We are happy to announce about that to all golf players around the world, and using the opportunity to invite them to take part in this great event!!!
The Pan-Armenian Games are complex competitions in individual and team kinds of sport among athletes of the Republic of Armenia and athletes of Armenian origin from other countries. The athletes from various parts of the world represent the cities in which they come from and not countries like other pan-games.
The Pan-Armenian Games take place mainly in Yerevan, Armenia. The sports played during the games are football, mini-football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, badminton, tennis, table tennis, chess, athletics and golf.
