Welcome message from the President of the EUSA
Dear Friends
I am happy to greet you at the 4th

Switzerland!
On behalf of the whole EUSA community let me express my appreciation
for having been invited here. I value
the opportunity to share with you the
upcoming emotions of joy and excitement, which all of us expect from
this event. It‘s a pleasure for me to see
that so many young people gathered
here are keen on sport and support the
ideals of fair play, equal opportunities,
volunteering and education through
sport, fostered by EUSA.
19 European Universities Championships to take place this year, the
biggest number ever in EUSA history,
give a great chance for studentathletes to test their skills and feel
a part of European university sport
community.
Being here we all serve a common
goal – uniting cultures through sport
and advertising the power of mind,
body and will. Thus, I want to thank
the Organising Committee and other
communities involved in the hosting
of the Championship for a great job
they have done. I also want to thank
all the Authorities for their support
and contribution to the event.
I’m sure, at this Championship
athletes will perform at their best,
competing in a fair play manner,
respecting the rules and the opponents
and will evoke admiration from the
spectators.
I hope you will enjoy your stay, I hope
you will be satisfied with your results,

and bring back home only wonderful
memories.
And I also hope to see you next year

About the country
Copyright: University of St. Gallen
Switzerland is a unique and most of
all picturesque country settled in the
heart of Europe. Boarded by Germany,
France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein, Switzerland is nowadays very
well known for the majestic Alps and
beautiful lakes, great chocolate and
strong cheese, expensive watches and
the four different languages spoken
within the country. German is by
far the most widely spoken language, apart from French, Italian and
Romansh. Some say Swiss German
is some form of dialect of German,
others argue that is a language on its
own, so far linguists have not come to
a conclusion.
But this is not the only puzzling thing
about Switzerland. Even though the
country is nestled in the middle of
Europe, Switzerland is not part of
the European Union and remains to
this day independent and neutral
in global political decisions (since
1515). The neutrality was possible to
develop because of the inaccessible
mountains which not only created
particular living conditions, but also
provided the area with protection and
a great deal of freedom. The state of
Switzerland as we know it today only
assumed its current form in 1848.
Geographically Switzerland is a harmonious tableau of beautiful images,
a slideshow of epic proportions that
is easy to step into, and travellers
have been seduced ever since the days
of the Grand Tour and Alpinism‘s
Golden Age in the 19th century, and
the birth of winter tourism in the Alps
in the 1930s. From the intoxicating
chink of Verbier glitterati hobnobbing
over Champagne to the reassuring
bell jangle of silky black Val d‘Hérens
cattle being mucked out in the Valais,
Switzerland mixes rural and urban
with astonishing ease, grace and
precision.
So when you ride a little red train
between peak and pine, soak in
mountain spa waters, snowshoe to
your igloo or scamper across medieval
bridges, you will soon see that this
small landlocked country is picture
perfect, with not a hair out of place

Host city – St. Gallen
With its 80’000 inhabitants,
St. Gallen is the largest city in eastern
Switzerland. Situated between Lake
Constance and the Swiss Alps, it is
easily accessible within one hour by
train or car from Zurich as well as
from the airport of Zurich.
A picturesque old town, a diverse
choice of cultural events and excellent
sports facilities: St. Gallen has
everything to offer for young people
who are looking for a charming city
without the relentless hustle and
bustle of an anonymous urban center.
You will find countless fashion shops,
restaurants, cafés, night clubs, bars
plus farmer markets. And if you need
some time to relax there are three
big swimming ponds on a hill above
town. In short, St. Gallen provides a
high quality of life.

City of St. Gallen/City tour, Friday September 18th
St. Gallen on your own
Guided city tour of St. Gallen
It’s easy to find the way from the Hotel
Säntispark to the City Center. The bus
is just in front of the hotel, take bus no
7 direction Neudorf and exit where
you like.
The bus leaves approximately all
10 minutes. It takes you directly to the
railway station of St. Gallen (in around
20 minutes) or to the Marktplatz
(which is even more in the city center,
23 minutes bus drive).
Way back: From the same two stations, directly to the Hotel Säntispark,
bus line no 7, direction Abtwil.
The last bus back leaves from Marktplatz at 00.25 and from the railway
station at 00.30.
The costs for a one way ticket is
CHF 2.90.
On Friday evening there’s a guided
city tour through St. Gallen to show
you the highlights of this beautiful
Swiss town.
Meeting point: Lobby of the Hotel
Säntispark, 19.20
Bus transfer to the City of St. Gallen
Approximately 1.5 hour of guided city
tour in St. Gallen
You will be back at the hotel latest at
22.30, unless you’d like to stay longer
and return on your own.
You will not be charged extra for the
tour – it’s all offered from the OC.
Please register for the guided
city tour at accreditation
Be careful: taxis are very expensive
in Switzerland. The taxi from the
city center to the Hotel Säntispark is
around CHF 30.– to CHF 40.–. Uber
does not exist in St. Gallen yet. Public
transport is much cheaper and are
very reliable.
22
Sustainability
It is important for us to run the week
in a way which is in accordance with
nature and to obtain sustainability.
Positive results can only be achieved
through cooperation of all people
involved. We therefore kindly ask of
you:
– Do not use personal vehicles. Use
the provided transport instead.
– Please refill your bottle at one of the
three food/snack stations: In front
of the club house, course yellow
tee 7, course black tee 8 (next to
green 5).
– Collect and separate waste. Use
specifically designated PET
containers.
– All indoor rooms are non-smoking!

Welcome message from Technical Delegate Golf
Welcome to the 4th European University Golf Championships at Waldkirch
Golf Club in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Both the Swiss and the Scots lay claim
to the development of early stick and
ball games that may have been the
precursor of modern day golf. Bored
shepherds hitting stones into rabbit
burrows are a long way from the beautiful surroundings, challenging layout
and fantastic facilities that today greet
you – the players – in these EUSA
European Championships.
The Organising Committee, Golfpark
Waldkirch, the Swiss Golf Federation
and the University of St. Gallen, have
done a magnificent job of bringing
you a championships that will test
your skill, challenge your abilities and
reward your daring shot-making. Performance sport is about setting
your goals and striving with all your
talent to achieve them; team sport
is about recognising that there are
elements of competition that reach
beyond the individual and embrace
both your university and your nation.
The 5th EUSA Golf Championships
will reward both individual and team
athletes – I wish you every success in
meeting your personal aspirations and
in representing your university and
nation with pride, flair and courage.
As Technical Director, it is my role
to ensure that the competition runs
smoothly and fairly. This Technical
Handbook will provide you with all
you need to know about the format
and rules of the championships; and,
with the help of the University of
St. Gallen and the Swiss Golf Federation, we have some of the best and
most experienced tournament referees
and officials you could wish for.
The course is set up for challenging,
competitive play – but it remains a
true test and will reward the most
talented golfers for their skill.
is a beautiful part of the world with
stunning scenery, great food and drink
and much to see and do. Enjoy your
golf, but do not forget also to take
time to make new friends; relax in
the hotel and its adjoining spa; or just
wander around the area admiring the
surroundings and drinking in the pure
alpine air.
I have always believed it is bad form
to wish a golfer „Good luck“ before
they enter competition, reflecting the
words of Gary Player „The harder I
practice, the luckier I get“. Instead, let
me wish you „Good golfing“. May you
play well and enjoy your St. Gallen
and Waldkirch experience.
Yours in golf
Rob Macpherson
Technical Director (Golf), European
University Sports Association
However, the event is about more
than just the golf. Switzerland, and
particularly St. Gallen and Zurich,

Am-Am Tournament
This provides the sponsors of this
Championship with the opportunity
to meet Europe’s up-coming Golf elite
golfers. The Am-Am Tournament – to
be held on Tuesday September 15th –
will provide players an opportunity
to play the course in competition
conditions. The OC expects all players
to participate in this tournament
as part of their pre-competition
practice; and each delegation is asked
to indicate any exceptions to this at
registration. Team coaches/managers
also are welcome to participate and
can indicate a willingness to play at
registration. Form of play: four ball –
two scores to count (stblf) followed
by small ceremony with finger food.
Teeoff around 11.00 (more detailed

registration for the Am-Am).
Additional information
Please note that it takes about 10
minutes from the club house to the
first t of the yellow course!
Be aware of the electric fences off the
course, as the course is embedded into
agricultural farmland.
The area is known for ticks which
carry the bacteria responsible for a
form of meningitis – whether a vaccine
is necessary is up to you. We advise
you to check your body parts for ticks
after each round. Insect repellent and/
or long pants are advisable.
As the course comes with slopes
which could be wet due to rain/fog
spikes in good condition are advisable
(metal spikes are not allowed).

the putting green and within two
club-lengths of the ball intervenes on
the line of play between the ball and
the hole; the player may take relief as
follows:
The ball must be lifted and dropped

obtain distance information by using
a device that measures distance only.
If, during a stipulated round, a player
uses a distance-measuring device that
is designed to gauge or measure other
conditions that might affect his play
(e.g. gradient, wind speed, temperature, etc.), the player is in breach of
Rule 14–3, for which the penalty is
disqualification, regardless of whether
any such additional function is
actually used.
Note:
a. Trolleys with a distance-measuring
capability: May be used provided
any other features, which are nonconforming, are disabled (e.g. ‘taped
up’or switched off).
b. Multi-functional devices such as
mobile phones with a distance-measuring application may not be used,
unless the application is restricted to
“distance only” and the device does
not have any other “non-conforming”
features or applications.(Because of
problems over whether a particular
phone conforms to the Local Rule and,
therefore, to protect players from the
risk of disqualification, EUSA strongly
recommends that mobile phones are
not used as measuring devices.)

SAFETY ADVICE FOR
DANGEROUS SITUATIONS
If you consider that an immediate dangerous situation is likely to occur due
to inclement weather conditions – you
are responsible for your own actions
and safety. Do not wait to be told the
37
situation is dangerous – use your own
judgment and common sense.
In the event of a dangerous situation
occurring, EUSA Officials will signal
a suspension of play for a dangerous
situation with one long note of
klaxons. That is the signal for everyone to evacuate the course.
If it is not possible to give sufficient
warning to clear the course before
an electrical storm, anyone affected
should comply with the following
advice. This advice is designed to
assist. It is not an instruction or a
Condition of Competition.
EUSA is not liable for any injury or
damage caused by following this
advice.
When the warning klaxon is sounded
to suspend play for a dangerous
situation:
– Keep as low as possible and, if
necessary, crouch in the nearest
bunker or other low point on the
golf course
– Remove any headgear which may
have metal in or on it
– Remove any other obvious metal
items e.g. pins, jewellery
– Do not stand under overhead
power lines
– Do not shelter under trees or on
high ground
– Do not take cover in wooden or
metallic shelters, unless the shelter
is fully enclosed, properly earthed
and designated for such a purpose
– Do not exit the course by walking
under trees if at all possible
– Do not use a mobile ‘phone
– Do not put up your umbrella under
any circumstances
– Do not stand near or carry your
golf clubs, they act as a magnet to
lightning. If leaving the course, you
are strongly advised to leave them
behind
