8th ESA Cup

The
8th ESA Cup Tournament took place this year on the Acquasanta Golf Course in
Rome. Built in 1903, the golf course is the oldest in Italy. The picturesque
views, the high pine trees and the mild weather made it a perfect place to hold
the ESA Cup. Thanks to our ESRIN hosts, all had a wonderful time playing golf,
having dinner at the Hotel Villa Mercede and the Acquasanta Gold Club.

In
total, 16 ESTEC players, divided into 3 teams participated, and 16 ESRIN
players showed up. Unfortunately, all other ESA establishments did not send any
teams this year. That was a real shame. Nevertheless, we battled it out with
old and young players throughout two days of golf. In the end, ESRIN teams B
and C won second and third place, while ESTEC A team took the trophy home! The
highest top scores of the ESTEC Team over two days went to Vincent Regis (74),
Alan Thirkettle (63) and Alberto Novelli (58).

Next
year it is ESAC’s turn and we hope that as numerous as we were this year, we
will be even more next year.
