The Sainte Baume Golf Club, a true pillar of the golfing community in Nans-les-Pins, is opening a new chapter in its history with the appointment of its new president, Ms. Martine Viviant. This transition signifies both a commitment to the club’s core values and a determination to continue its growth in an increasingly welcoming and dynamic spirit.
First and foremost, it is essential to acknowledge the commitment and work accomplished by the former president, Mr. Jean-Pierre Achard. His dedication, his passion for golf, and his involvement in the association’s activities have greatly contributed to making the Sainte Baume Golf Sports Association an active, unifying, and locally recognized organization. Under his leadership, the association successfully brought players together, developed competitions, and strengthened the club spirit that is now its greatest strength.
Today, Martine Viviant takes the reins with enthusiasm and determination. In her message to the members, she aptly reminds us of what constitutes the very essence of a sports association:
“An association isn’t just about competitions; above all, it’s a human adventure:
encounters, laughter, challenges, and a joyful atmosphere.”
This vision places people at the heart of the club’s mission. More than just a place to play sports, the AS du Golf Sainte Baume positions itself as a true hub of community life, interaction, and shared experiences among golf enthusiasts, whether they are beginners or seasoned players.
Ms. Viviant’s arrival is therefore part of a positive, forward-looking momentum, while preserving the core values that make the club a success: camaraderie, sportsmanship, and the joy of the game. She also invites all members to continue embodying these values every day:
“To you, dear members, thank you for your enthusiasm and loyalty. Continue to uphold the sportsmanship and camaraderie that define us so well. And remember: in golf as in life, what matters isn’t just reaching the goal… but enjoying the journey!”
An inspiring message that perfectly reflects the spirit of golf: a demanding sport, but also one of enjoyment and shared experience.
