The Bedrijfsleague has started very successful for the EGC. We had to play 2 matches in one week: Monday 9/5 against Shell at Burggolf Zoetermeer and Wednesday 11/5 home against BP. I am glad to say that both matches have been won by us. The results were:

Shell v ESTEC 2-4 (matches were won by Mary, Erik, Nico and Alan).

Very interesting match this was. For many it was the first visit Burggolf Zoetermeer and the long walk resulted in 2 flight finishing in the dark and a powerless buggy that had to be abandoned on the course which meant that the 2 occupants had to walk in on the last hole. Next match Shell will have to supply miners lamps for the later flights ;-p

ESTEC v BP 5-1 (matches were won by Andrew, Tony, Sylvain, Ronny and Jos).

With this start I am confident we can make this season a great success! Our next match will be on 2/6 against PIT at Bentwoud.

For people interested, it is still possible to register for matches in the Bedrijfsleague. Send me an email and I will send you the details.

In the attachment the draw for the 2016 Club Matchplay competition. Have fun and good luck to all!

On February 21, a very windy day, the Pea Soup Tournament was played. While all other courses in the area were closed because of rainfall the night before, the ESTEC course had recovered just in time to be open. In total 22 players decided to face the storm and play 18 holes. Because of the tough conditions it was decided that instead of the usual net strokeplay competition we would play a stableford competition.

After the round the participants were treated to very well deserved and tasty Pea Soup and bread, generously donated by Jos. Thanks Jos!!

Winner of the Pea Soup Tournament was Filippo Pinna with an impressive 37 points. Congratulations Filippo!!!

Please see attached all the results of the 2016 Pea Soup Tournament.

Best regards,

Dear Members,

Last nights rain unfortunately saturated the course with water causing big pools of water on the fairways and rough making it unplayable. Therefore I regret to inform you that the competition is cancelled.

Presentation dinner will go on as planned.

Cheers,
Erik
