Since the winner from the last two editions, Kenneth Thomas, couldn’t join this time, the shiny President’s plate would be passed on.
Conditions started a little windy, but later on the weather was perfect. Everyone agreed that besides the sanded greens, Royal Hainaut is in very good shape already in March. We played Etangs+Bruyère.
Back in on the 19th hole terrace it emerged that no less than 4 of the top 5 players had scored 30p, and two even have the exact same hcp. They needed to be separated, but how?? According to our club tradition (confirmed by Lars-Ove Roos, as always when in doubt – thank you!
), we checked most points on the last 9. This meant Dan Garellick came 2nd and Hans Iredahl 3rd, and Jan Boecker Johansen and Jan Nielsen also got Order of Merit points. Well done all four! However, after all that drama for places 5-2… one player still had more points – congratulations to Elina Yrgård on 32p!

Torbjörn Sahlen won Longest Drive. Jan B Johansen took Nearest 
on a 160m par 3 – very elegant shot, only 80cm from the hole.
See you next time 5 April on L’Empereur for Captain’s – the flag competition!
