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. Finally it was fine to see 6 lady players participating, unfortunately out of the 4 drop outs, 3 were ladies. In the April 2025 Monthly we had 4 ladies to participate.

Sunday 16 March 2025: CRT-1 Scramble, Report and Results.

We had 30 player on the 2025 Colin Rolls Trophy “Scramble” start list for Sunday 16th of  March 2025. Unfortunately one player got injured so eventually 29 players turned up for the first CRT events of the year. Each of the four teams had nominally 4 pairs playing which included 3 single players. The weather for the first CRT-1 was sunny with temperatures around 11 Deg. C.

The best pair score was recorded by Ineke and Francis with 49 St. P. followed by Garry/Piet with 46 ST.P. and Clare/Ronny with 45 St. P. The best team score counting the two best score per team, was recorded by the “Babes and the Boys” with 91 St.P.” followed by the “Mulligans” and “Andy Caps” with 87 St. P. and finally “Friday’s Men” with 81 St. P. All pair and team results can be found attached.

Highlights:

In this year’s CRT-1, the first 10 pairs had scores between 40 and 49 St. P./pair and the average score for all 16 pair flights can be reported to be 41.4, somewhat close to the number of 41,7 reported in 2024. Interesting here is that the pair average handicaps, number of strokes received, increased again in 2025 to 21.0 compare to 19.5 in 2024 and 18,4 in 2023!!! However as we nearly had the same group of player as in later years, we may conclude that the WHS is nice to most of us and possibly that we all got  one year older! Finally it was great to see 10 lady players participating, until now, other EGC events in 2025, only had one or maximum two ladies to participate.

2024 Presentation Tournament & Dinner

The 2024 Presentation Tournament & Dinner were planned for Saturday 18th January 2025, but unfortunately the tournament had to be postponed by a week to Saturday 25th due to forecast freezing temperatures.

The Dinner;

The Presentation Dinner was once again held at Pitch restaurant at the Golf Centrum Noordwijk, on Saturday 18th. Many (but not all) of the winners of competitions & tournaments throughout 2024 were present. A short “review” of 2024 was given, and engraved trophies were presented to the winners present whilst we enjoyed a nice dinner in good company.

The review is attached, now containing photo’s of the winners receiving their trophies.

The Tournament;

Unfortunately only 8 players participated in the re-scheduled 2024 Presentation Tournament. The forecast rain did not materialise, and the small group had an enjoyable afternoon. The winner on the day was Sander Borst.

A short report is attached

Thanks to everyone who supported the 2 events !
