Dear golf enthusiasts,

We can look back on a few successful golf exchange days between the Estec Golf Club and Tespelduyn.

The first golf day at Tespelduyn took place under excellent conditions. A week later, the Estec Golf Club welcomed us hospitably once again; the weather gods were once again on our side.

We hereby send you both match results from April 17 and 25. These are split into a Tespelduyn (only) and Estec Golf Club (only) result, and there is a total day result indicating the combined result between both Golf Clubs.

The victory in these exchange matches went to the Estec Golf Club again this year. The overall result was clearly in favour of the Estec Golf Club. However, we are already looking forward to a rematch next year.

We, as organizers, enjoyed it and thank the Estec Golf Club for their enthusiastic cooperation and hospitality. Kind regards on behalf of the organizing committee

Again a very well-attended third 2026 Colin Rolls Trophy round “Better Ball” took place at the ESTEC golf course on Sunday 10 May 2026. Eventually 34 players or 16 pairs and 2 single players enjoyed a relaxed round of golf with sunny weather but with a cold wind and a temperature around 14 Deg. C. The best pair score was recorded by Gijs & Reno with 47 St.P., closely followed by Clare & Ronny with 46 St.P. and Elly & Graeme with 45 St.P. The best team score counting the two best score per team, was recorded by two teams “Friday’s Men” and “Andy Caps” both with 89 St.P. followed by the “Babes and the Boys” team with 88 St.P. and then the “Mulligans” team with 87 ST.P., thus only 2 points between the top and the bottom! All pair and team results can be found attached as well as the updated 2026 CRT leaderboard.

Highlights:

In this year’s CRT-3, all 16 pairs scores between 31 and 47 St. P./pair and the average score for all 18 pair (inc. 2 singles) can be reported to be 39.6 St.P. Finally it was fine to see 10 lady players participating, the highest number in 2026 CRT events (Greensome = 9 ladies, Scramble = 9 ladies).
