I’ve traveled more than any other human being, I’ve seen a lot and I can say that there is no course like Thracian Cliffs anywhere in the world.” These are words of one of the most famous golfers of all times – Gary Player, who came to Bulgaria in the beginning of June for the opening of the second course designed by him on the Black Sea coast – Thracian Cliffs. Gary Player, accompanied by his Senior designer Jeff Lawrence, and the head of the Gary Player Design South African office Marc Tudhope, arrived in the late afternoon of June 3rd. Mr. Player once again proved that neither the years, nor the schedule matter when golf is in your heart. Almost immediately after he was welcomed in the complex, the Black Knight impatiently jumped in the buggy and went on a private tour around the course, which was scheduled to take place on the next morning. While stopping to examine each hole and to express his approval of the work done, the great golfer once more demonstrated his great physical shape, eloquence and emotionality. On the next morning the numerous guests of the event assembled at the Signature 6th hole, where Gary Player and the Bulgarian Prime Minister Mr. Boyko Borisov cut the ribbon of the new golf complex. “With the opening of such wonderful places, our coastline is now in no way inferior to the Adriatic coast. With the 150 million leva in investments, the 300 new work places and the completely preserved environment, Thracian Cliffs is a pride for Bulgarian tourism”, the Prime Minister said. “I came personally to make sure that the ecology of the region has not only been preserved, but also that a wonderful tourist site has been built”, said the Minister of Environment and Water Nona Karadzhova. Also present at the official opening were the Minister of Agriculture and Food Miroslav Naydenov, Kavarna’s Mayor Tsonko Tsonev, the Governor of the – Zhelyazko Zhelyazkov, members of the Board of Directors of CIBANK, businessmen from all around the world, and journalists. All of them congratulated the owners of the complex Krassimir Guergov and Georg Tsvetanski for the building of the first-class tourist site. “Thracian Cliffs is undoubtedly the pearl of the Northern Black Sea Coast. With such complexes Bulgaria has the chance of establishing a new look as a tourist destination”, said Petar Andronov, Chief Executive Officer of CIBANK and KBC Group Country Manager for Bulgaria. After cutting the ribbon Gary Player demonstrated his champion skills at the Signature 6th hole, which presents an extreme challenge with its 40-meter teeing ground to green

He heartily praised good shots and patiently showed players the reasons for their failures. The dead calm wind and the glowing sun seemed to cause him no trouble. “What, hot? The weather is very nice, you have to see what it is like in Florida”, joked Gary Player and kept showing all present in what perfect shape he is even at 75. After the end of the golf day came the time for the entertainment program. The guests, among whom were European investors, Bulgarian businessmen, diplomats, and partners, attended the tasting of the new wines of the Midalidare and Katarzyna wine cellars, which impressed the connoisseurs with excellent quality. At the gala dinner in white after that the guests enjoyed live jazz music and a fashion show apart from the gourmet specialties.
