THE HOPPS OPEN DE PROVENCE: A famous, unmissable tournament
The Hopps Open de Provence is a European professional men's golf tournament, a must-see on the French circuit. It is unique in PACA, the three other equivalent tournaments in France taking place in the Hauts de France, in Normandy and in Brittany. It counts for the classification of the European challenge tour.
How is the tournament organized? 138 players play 18 holes per day on Thursday September 16, 2021 (1st round) and Friday September 17, 2021 (2nd round) and at the end of the Friday night "cut", the lowest ranked players are eliminated. The first 60 and tied are qualified to play until Sunday! At the end of the tournament, the player who wins 3 tournaments in the same season automatically enters the European Tour.
To fully understand and apply this method, here are the elements to take into account:
- Ying and Yang: two elements that oppose and complement each other at the same time.
- The five elements of nature: Water, Earth, Fire, Wood and Metal, which must be used in a complementary way.
- The orientation of the house: each orientation (South, South-East, West, etc.) releases different energies.
More than a decorative style, Feng Shui is a real way of life whose secrets we cannot tell you all in one article ... here are a few, however, so that you can start to soak up it!
1 - I select my land, my house
Avoid places that are too close to cemeteries, hospitals or prisons, as these are places with negative chi. Favor open places, close to nature and well cleared, for the good circulation of energy.
2 - I'm setting up my front door
The front door is very important in Feng Shui, because it is through it that one receives the energies. Ideally, the front door should be facing south, and the back of the house should be north. Feng Shui is also a harmony and a meaning of colors! Here is an example of how to choose the color of your front door: black, to enrich the home; green: for the good health of the household; red: for luck. The entrance should also be neat, and lead to a tidy and bright room.
Gaetan has a dream: to create a huge real estate complex around a golf course and decides to make it happen. A man of charisma, he manages to federate and inspire around his unique project and is inspired by the golf course of La Manga in Spain.
After many exchanges and negotiations, Gaetan collaborates with the mayor of Mallemort, Daniel Conte and with the support of Claude Roger Cartier, President of the French Golf Federation, creates a complex arrangement which leads to the creation in 1989 of the ZAC, a concerted development zone, an implementation agreement and a development plan for this zone.
Many plots are detached to bring this fabulous project to fruition! But to build, you must now surround yourself! It is the British company LONDON METROPOLITAN, developer, which takes up the challenge. The American architecture firm EDSA is retained to draw the first sketches of the project.
