Golfer Evgeny Volkov: "The Raisa RT Charity Cup? Great idea"

      Famous Russian golfer and head of golf centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yekaterinburg, Evgeny Volkov, discussed the charitable mission of golf tournaments held in Tatarstan in an interview with "Tatar-inform" ahead of the III Stage of the Eurasian Golf League (EGL).

      — The question is settled, the incentive is indeed excellent. Let's turn to the history of golf in Tatarstan. You mentioned the "Sviyazhsky Hills," where the charitable Rais of Tatarstan Cup is held annually. What is your attitude towards this charitable mission?

      — Yes, I have played in this tournament more than once. I even took prize places. Charity is a wonderful goal. By the way, in the 20s of May, another charitable tournament took place in the republic – "Ak chäçäklär" ("White Flowers") – in support of a children's hospice. Gathering golfers to help those in need is a great idea.

      — The Rais of RT Cup traditionally supports the free family hotel "Home Away from Home" of the charitable foundation "Family Together." How important is the social component for popularizing golf in Russian regions?

      — I think it is a tribute to tradition. Golf came to us from the West, where it has historically been customary to hold charitable events within tournaments. This is a wonderful tradition that we have adopted.

      Let us remind you that the third stage of the Eurasian Golf League (EGL) will take place on June 15-16 in Kazan at the Ak Bars golf club.
