A blue sky and some northern cool wind, a perfect day for a Dutch Day at SDM. A nearly full field of Orange dressed up golfers, arrived early on this Saturday morning at the Silves Golf Course to celebrate the Birthday of King Willem Alexander of The Netherlands. In a 2-best scores out of 4 competition, with each 4ball given an Orange ball to be played in turn which net score counts double, we were going to see some very high scores. After a Dutch quiz near Patricia’s and some Dutch Farmers golf at the 10th hole, the halfway house with some Dutch snacks and schnapps was well attended by everyone. After the competition everyone gathered cozy at the long tables on the terrace, waiting for the results:
1st prize with 126 points: Ian Williams, Maddy van Kleef, Berge Billiauws & Ilse Loncin
2nd prize with 124 points: Daniele Gambetta, Elena Funeta, Hans Linnet & Marit Linnet
3rd prize with 120 points: Wayne Sinfield, Mark Schmidt, Ian Wakenshaw & Anne Wakenshaw
Nearest to Pin on 3: Ladies: Heidi Schmidt & Men Hans Beukert
Nearest to Pin on 15th: Ladies: Elena Funeta & Men: Ian Willams


Thanks everyone for joining in another successful National day at SDM.
