Vincent Regis

On Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th of September, the Walker Cup and the Club Championship were played under the best conditions we could hope for. The course was still soft from the rain that fell the days preceding the event, but the weather was nice and warm, with very little wind. Prefect scoring conditions. The scores were indeed good.

Walker Cup

We had 25 participants for the combine 1st round of the Club Championship and Walker Cup, 14 cat 1 players and 11 cat 2.

The winner of the Walker Cup, by 4 points, was Tony Rosmalen with the incredible score of 44 points (75 strokes, the 5th best strokeplay score of the day). In 2nd place went to Rod Allen with 40 points, just one point ahead of Piet Hillebrand, 3rd with 39 points.

Congrats to Tony !

Club Championship

On the Club Championship side. After the first round things were pretty tight at the top of the leaderboard, with Vincent Regis leading by one with a solid 65 strokes, over Erik van Ginkel with 66 strokes. In 3rd, David Binns was still in contention with 70 strokes, 5 behind.

And the second round, Vincent broke away with a great 61, 3 over par round, increasing his lead over Erik to 5 that had a solid 65, and to 10 strokes over David Binns with a good 66.

But on the 3rd round both Vincent and Erik had run out of steam and came back with some pretty disappointing scores, 72 and 76 respectively. David on the contrary was charging back with an excellent 64, overtaking Erik for 2nd. But the lead built by Vincent was too big and David fell short 2 strokes. So thanks to his great 2nd round, Vincent Regis has successfully defended his Club Champion title !

Standing per 05/08/2022
TEAM	Played	Won	Lost	Draw	For	Against	diff	Points
PIT	8	4	1	3	27.5	16.5	11	11
EPO	6	4	1	2	19.5	16.5	4	8
Misfits/Shell	8	2	4	2	22	26	-4	6
ESTEC	5	2	2	1	12	16	-6	5
BP	7	2	5	0	20	22	-2	4

Note that ESTEC had to concede a game to BP due to too many people dropping out at the last minute.

We still have 3 games to play: 2 home games on August 23rd August 30th (against EPO and BP), and another yet to schedule away game against EPO in RGC.

We still have a very tiny chance of winning the league this year, but that would require a clean sweep, 3 6-0 wins. Not very likely, but we have to try!

The Summer seasonal has been played at De Haenen golf course near Breda. The weather was nice, sunny and little windy. The course was beautiful with undulated contours, and many statues and artwork displayed around the course.

Unfortunately, what could have a perfect setup was a little spoiled as some extensive aeration had been performed on the all the greens, making them really difficult. For this reason the event was declared non qualifying.

A dinner took place at the club house after the round.

The winner with 31 points is Jan van Haarlem. 2nd with 30 points and a better back 9, is Stephen Durrant. 3rd with 30 points is Alex Jeanes. Elly Davis won the longest drive and Allan Thirkettle the neary.

Congratualtions to Jan!

Dear club members,

The Bedrijf League is back. All the usual teams have signed up: the Misfits (ex Shell), BP, PIT and EPO.

The Bedrijf League is a business evening league played with the aforementioned businesses/organisations golf clubs. Each game is played between 2 teams of 6 players, in individual matchplay with full hcp compensation. We play during the week with the first tee around 17:30. Each team plays every other team twice, once at home and once away.

BP is hosting in Kleiburg, The Misfits in Bentwoud, PIT in Leeuwenbergh, and EPO in the Rijswijkse. And with the last ESTEC site entry restrictions lifted, the EGC can receive on the ESTEC golf course again.

Players must be 36 hcp minimum to participate. There is no special priority, so we will do our best to ensure that everyone that wants to play gets to play.

For each round we will need 6 players plus one standby that will keep his evening free in case one of the players that was selected can’t make it at the last minute.
