The ranking counts the 10 best cards of each club of the 12 played. … the details of the scores below.The third day sees Royal Bridge fight in match-play against Frégate, the winner now in the 2nd division and the loser descendant in the 3rd division …. the same Frégate who we had beaten Valcros a league ago in the league championship! Our four best players are focused on the “simple” (4 points possible). Frégate wins the double … and Pont Royal wins 3 singles and shares the last single. .. to win the victory and achieve its goal of maintaining the 2nd division for 2020 !!

Margriet and Imelda, the “Dutch fairies” of the success of Koningsdag

Hole 9, no wood allowed … Hole 17, exchange the putters with his partner … and without forgetting the approach competitions at 13 and drive at 14!

A meal under the sign of the gaiety and a true moment of conviviality.
