Aphrodite Hills Cyprus Open Trophy

A new perpetual trophy – a bespoke design created by Asprey, was a piece of art and beyond. The trophy features specialist hand engraved detail highlighting its Cypriot identity with the pierced-out outline of the island itself and olive branches, taking Asprey’s Master Engraver two days to complete. The gold-plated interior reflecting through the piercing to give added definition to the 65cm tall trophy, which stands proudly on a hand-carved wood base. It took 85 hours to complete and was expertly crafted by master silversmiths in the Asprey workshops.
The trophy is proudly displayed at Aphrodite Hills Resort Golf Clubhouse so everyone can have the chance to see it.

The impressed players

Thomas Detry (BEL): “The course is fantastic, the first time out here and the golf course is amazing. The greens are soft and gettable, and it is not blowing too much but if the wind picks up during the week and the greens firm up a little bit, it will be a good challenge”.

The impressed players

Joël Stalter (FRA): “It is amazing to be honest, this place is awesome. I was not expecting something that good, I think everybody is happy to be here. I think everyone is relaxed here and just enjoying a nice week.”

The impressed players

David Drysdale (SCO): “It is unbelievable. How you see this bit of land and design a golf course on it, it is incredible. The fella who designed it has done an amazing job. Some of the drives, the buggy ride to the tee shot on three and then the buggy ride to the seventh tee, it is incredible. “

The impressed players

Jamie Donaldson (WAL): “It is fantastic (Cyprus). It is great they have come up with all these new venues and brought back some of the British ones as well, so they are doing a fantastic job with what is going on, especially here. It has been lovely and warm out there and where better would you want to play golf right now.”
