IT ALL STARTED 20 YEARS AGO!!
 

 

A GROUP OF GOLFERS FROM MY CLUB THE HAARLEMMERMEERSCHE IN THE NORTH HOLLAND

CAME UP WITH A GREAT IDEA, THAT WAS TO KEEP  PLAYING COMPETITION GOLF EVERY WEEK ON SATURDAY MORNINGS  IN ALL WEATHERS, THAT'S INCLUDING ALL THE ELEMENTS

RAIN, WIND, ICE & SNOW.

IF THE COURSE IS OPEN WE PLAY, SOMETIMES  PLAYING IN REALLY COLD DUTCH WEATHER WITH

WIND TEMPERATURES OF 7 BELOW ZERO,  YES WE ARE CRAZY??? BUT WE LOVE IT, 

 A  COVETED GREEN JACKETS IS THE PRIZE FOR THE WINNER OF SEASON,  IN AUGUSTA, GEORGIA  U-S-A THE PROS PLAY FOR THE SAME THING, THAT IS WHERE WE GOT THE IDEA FROM

WE ALSO HAVE A SCORE CHART FOR BIRDIES, EAGLES, AND THE HOLE IN ONE,  AND WITH  ALL THAT INFO IT GIVES EVERY ONE SOME IDEA HOW THE COURSE IS PLAYING, AND WHAT HOLES ARE HARDEST TO SCORE ON 

AT THE END OF THE FIRST 9 HOLES WE PAUSE FOR HOT CHOCOLATE WITH RUM ,( VERY TASTY )

THEN ON TO THE SECOND NINE HOLES, THE COURSE IS A PAR 73

THEN IT'S BACK TO THE CLUB HOUSE TO CONTROL THE SCORE CARDS, 

 ITS  JUST A LITTLE WAIT FOR THE END SCORES AND RESULTS TO BE ANNOUNCED

THEN IT'S CARDS , BILLIARDS, AND A FEW DRINKS .TO FINISH OF A GREAT DAY 

AT THE END OF EVERY SEASON WE ALL GO AWAY FOR OUR LAST THREE MATCHES , 

WE HAVE BEEN TO ENGLAND THREE TIMES, ALSO BEEN TO
GERMANY, TURKEY, BELGIUM  AND TUNISIA, BUT THE LAST FEW YEARS ITS BEEN  HELD IN  BELEK .TURKEY,   

THE LAST EVENING OF THE TRIP IS WHEN THE GREEN JACKET IS PRESENTED TO THE WINNER OF THE SEASON

IT'S ALL GOOD FUN, AND NICE TO PLAY WITH SUCH A GREAT BUNCH OF GUYS
