Competitions

Sunday August 28, was Captain’s Day on the Estec Golf Course. It was a beautiful sunny, but a bit windy day. We had 26 players for a shotgun start.

We went round in 3 hours, which shows how little waiting there has been. The flights followed each other smoothly. The scores were quite good as well.

There was a neary for all on hole 1. It must be mentioned that no lady managed to hit the green… but both Vincent Regis and Raffaele Tosellini did, Raffaele was closest to the pin.

On hole 3 was the longest for the men, also won first by Vincent, and improved by Raffaele. Raffaele thought his length might have given him the advantage…

The ladies longest was on hole 7, first marked by Christine Sanders, a new member of the club, and then improved by your captain, Helma Nollen.

The best Lady was Marja Allen with a  score of 40 stbf points and a handicap of 41.7. And the best man was Rob Jansen, also with a score op 40 stbf points and a handicap of 25.5.

After the competition the aperitif was offered by the captain, and then a wonderful walking dinner was served.

All in all it was a really nice day!

Dear Club Members,
The first round of the club championship will happen on Saturday September 10th, and will be combined with the Walker cup.

Club Championship
The club championship is  our annual Stroke Play competition, with no handicap compensation, and played from yellow tees. This year we are back with the usual format with 3 rounds. There will be a cut, only the players with the 18 best scores will be qualified for the 2nd and 3rd round on Sunday 11th.

Walker Cup
The Walker Cup is our annual Category 2 championship. Only players with a handicap of 24 or more can participate (from any tees). The competition format is Stableford. Participating in both competitions is possible for cat 2 players, as long as the yellow tees are used.
Sign up is open in Proware: https://estec.prowaregolf.nl/match/index/id/932

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!
