Field Trip: Paris Golf Tournament - June 17th, 2024

The Inaugural Tournament

The inaugural "Field Trip: Paris" golf tournament unfolded with great success on June 17th, 2024, at the prestigious RCF La Boulie Golf Club in Versailles, France. Organized by Students Golf & Bodega in partnership with the renowned WRKS Agency based in Paris, the event marked a significant convergence of the emerging golf movement and key folks in the fashion industry during Paris Fashion Week.

The Tournament

Attendees were called for a 6:30 AM departure time from Crowne Plaza Republique and were shuttled in a bus to the golf course. The tournament featured an engaging "2-Man Best Ball" format with handicap indexes, where teams competed fiercely for a chance to advance to the climactic bonus round, "The Shootout." In The Shootout, the top 10 teams battled it out in a nerve-racking 2-man alternate shot competition, showcasing precision, strategy, and teamwork under pressure in front of their peers.

"We are thrilled with the enthusiastic response and high level of competition at the 'Field Trip: Paris' golf tournament," said organizers from Students Golf, Bodega, and WRKS Agency. "This event not only celebrates the sport of golf but also serves as a unique platform for professionals in both golf and fashion to connect and collaborate."

Charity Collaboration

In alignment with the city of Paris, we partnered up with Sports Dans La Ville of France, a local charity to help raise funds for the organization. "When we were brainstorming with Dan, Co-Founder of Bodega, he was adamant about making sure our golf tournament would benefit a charity. That is a no-brainer for us at Students, as we've continuously put efforts to find local organizations such as SCGA Junior to support. That's why we've aligned with Bodega to host the event," says founder of Students, Michael Huynh.
