What a nice King’s Day to play golf, sunny no wind and temperature around 14 Deg. C. This alternative “tee time” King’s Scramble event was played as three-balls from red tees and from scratch by 27 players representing 9 teams. The best team score and winner of three bottles of Appassimento Wine was Ben/Garry/Angelika with a score of 57 strokes, followed by Geoff/Ineke/Ton with 58 strokes. Congratulations to the winning team, however, no winning team photo with prizes could be taken but the wine will be available from the check-in hut coming Sunday. Hope all participants enjoyed the event and all team scores can be found attached.
