NINE DESTINATIONS FOR THE LDET 2015

Meanwhile players are already training. The LDET 2015 organization ensures a calendar full of emotions with a season that has scheduled the Netherlands and Estonia as new countries. The kick-off will be in Sweden next 10th and 11th of April, a scenario where the circuit was already present in its first season and where it now returns with great force.

Sweden is the first of nine destinations where hitters amaze us with their bombs. Golfers and long driver lovers will have the opportunity to see them in Estonia, Slovenia, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Spain, France, and a surprise destination outside Europe to finish the season.

The arrival of LDET to these new countries means that the circuit is conquering Europe at high speed. The tour continues its consolidation in many countries like Spain that are backing a championship of Long Drivers European Tour. The Spanish LDET Champ will again be held in Mijas Golf International (Mijas, Málaga) -one of the reference venues of the Costa del Sol- for the third year on 11th and 12th of September.

Among the surprises of the season there is The Masters LDET Cup, a final tournament that last year brought the hitters to Lumine Golf (Tarragona, Spain). This season it will probably be hosted in a country outside the European borders.
