On 21 July was held the first casting of lots in one of Latvian golf-clubs "Venturi" where the order of contestants' performances on the second day of the contest program was determined.

According to the rules of the casting of lots, every contestant had to hit a ball into a hole on the golf course.

A ball with a number that signifies the index number of performance was hidden inside of each hole.

Alessandro from Italy began the game accompanied by a storm of applause by those watching the spectacular sight and hit the ball into a hole where number 7 was hidden.

The casting of lots marathon was afterwards continued by other contestants with incredible excitement: some of them could hit the ball into a hole only after striking seven or eight times, whereas others were especially good at learning to master a club.

For instance, Anastasia Kochetkva from Russia, Kate from the Czech Republic and Kostas Martakis from Greece could get their balls with numbers in three strokes!
