Mr Hosni KHALED is a Golf murdered after passing by Rugby and swimming.
His first journey was in December 1965 with some of the friends, MM Habib BOURGUIBA Jr and Mr Ali MABROUK.

Still at its beginnings in the 60s, he told us: “I always have a desire to discover all the sports, I found then that golf was by no means an old-fashioned sport as one might think, but it is a discipline that goes to the limit of everyone’s means … It is above all a great school of concentration, calm and relaxation, and a Golf course takes you 4 to 5 km.
It is indeed the most individual sport seen that you against yourself.
For all these advantages it is desirable to popularize this discipline by acquiring the necessary equipment, organizing days for schoolchildren and retrieving foreign teachers.
These ambitions were to reduce as much as possible his handicap which was 14.

The years 60s awards:

• Winner at Purfina tournaments in 2nd series.
• Winner of the “International Selection” cup where he marveled and triumphed, hence the birth of top level Tunisian golf.

• French university rugby champion with the national veterinary school of Alford.
