European Team Shield 2026
--
A proud moment for the Royal Malta Golf Club and for golf in Malta. Hosting the European Men’s and Ladies’ Team Shield Championships—our first major international championship—was a significant milestone for everyone connected with RMGC. It was a privilege to welcome players, captains and officials from 18 nations. The standard of golf was excellent, but even more impressive was the way the championship was played, with respect, integrity and camaraderie shown throughout the week. An event of this scale is only possible through strong leadership and genuine teamwork. Our sincere thanks go to William Beck, President of the Malta Golf Association, and the entire European Golf Association team for their guidance, support and professionalism. Our agronomy, catering, front-of-house and pro shop teams, together with our PGA Professional Henning Schulze-Doering, went above and beyond to ensure the championship ran smoothly. The commitment and teamwork shown across the Club was outstanding. A special thank you must also go to our members. Hosting the championship required them to give up their course for the week, while many also volunteered their time and generously loaned their trolleys to the participating teams. Their patience, support and willingness to help played an essential part in making the event such a success. Finally, congratulations to the Malta Men’s Team on an incredible victory, and to the Malta Ladies’ Team for a tremendous performance in reaching the final and securing second place. Both teams represented Malta with great pride and distinction. A massive thank you to everyone involved for helping put RMGC and Malta firmly on the European golfing map. This was a week we will remember for a very long time.
