EGC / Vijf Margen Challenge 2025

This years EGC / Vijf Margen Challenge will be played on Thursday 8th May (at ESTEC) and Thursday 22nd May at Vijf Margen (at GolfCentrum Noordwijk, Van Berckelweg 38, 2203LB Noordwijk)

This event was really enjoyable last year, and we will again play a pairs stableford scramble format.

On 8th May at ESTEC we will have a shotgun start at 14:00. There will be 3 nearies, with prizes of bag towels – and also there will be a prize for the best pairs score on the day. After the golf we will meet in Escape for a drink & snack (1 drink per player will be “on the club”) and for the prize-giving.

On Thursday 22nd May at Vijf Margen, EGC players will pay 20 euro for 18 holes of golf (normally 29:50 euro) and it will be a “tee times” start (details will follow) and again we will gather (hopefully on the terrace like last year !) for a drink. The sum of the best 3 pairs scores for each team, on each day will determine the winning team. Unusually, the losing team takes away the trophy (see photo) and last year that was EGC. Lets try to give it back this year !

Registration is now open for both dates in Proware. Please register as soon as possible…..preferable for both dates. If possible please register by 22nd April, to ensure a place in this fun exchange with our nearest neighbouring golf club.

Sunday 13 April 2025: CRT-2 Greensome, Report and Results.

Again a well-attended second 2025 Colin Rolls Trophy round “Greensome” took place on Sunday 13 April 2025. Initial we had 32 players registered (4 pairs per team) but unfortunately, 4 players from the Mulligans dropped out, so eventually 28 players or 14 pairs or 7 flights enjoyed the nice sunny golf weather with temperature around 16 Deg. C. The best pair score was recorded by Clare & Ronny with 43 St.P. followed by Ben & Ton and Ineke & Francis, both with 41 St.P. The best team score counting the two best score per team, was recorded by the “Babes and the Boys” team with 83 St.P. followed by “Friday’s Men” team with 77 St.P., then the “Andy Caps” team with 76 St.P. and finally the “Mulligans” team with 67 ST.P. All pair and team results can be found attached as well as the updated 2025 CRT leaderboard.

Highlights:

In this year’s CRT-2, 13 pairs out of 14 had scores between 32 and 43 St. P./pair and the average score for all 14 pair can be reported to be 36.4, somewhat better than the number of 34.1 reported in 2024.
