EGC/Vijf Margen Challenge 2026
The 2026 EGC/Vijf Margen Challenge will be played on Thursday 21st May (at ESTEC) and Thursday 28thMay (at Golf Centrum Noordwijk, Van Berckelweg 38, 2203LB Noordwijk)
This event has become an established fixture in our golfing calendar, and we will again play a pairs stableford scramble format.
On 21st May at ESTEC we will have a shotgun start at 14:00.
There will be 3 nearies, with prizes – 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 28 th May at Vijf Margen, EGC players will pay 25 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 and last year that was Vijf Margen. Let’s try to leave it with them again this year !
Registration is now open for both dates in Proware. Please register as soon as possible…..preferably for both dates.
If possible please register by 10th May, to ensure a place in this fun exchange with our nearest neighbouring golf club.
Issue with emails to members
Dear EGC Members
It has become apparent that an issue exists regarding emails from info@egc.nl (via Proware) sent out to the members which are in some instances ( to Hotmail, outlook.com and live.com in particular.) not always being received.
This issue is not under our direct control, but we have flagged it to Proware. We hope it will be resolved soon.
In the meantime we have found a “work-around” which we hope ensure that all members receive important messages by email
Additionally, so that short messages regarding course issues/status are available to all members quickly, they will now be posted on “Mededelingen” in Proware (visible just below Baan Status) Such messages can also be seen in the “Berichten” tab on the intogolf application (mobile Proware “app”)
Kind Regards
EGC Committee
Check-In Hut “treated”
On Saturday 12th July, a group of volunteers treated the EGC Check-In Hut with a transparent wood preserver (so you may not even notice any difference !)
Many thanks to those who volunteered – Sander, Rafael, Tommy Mattke (a brand new member) Joe, Clare, Will, Stephen – and a particular thank you to Joe & Clare for bringing along a lunchtime feast !
The garage will also be treated soon (date tbd)
