Another busy month has passed and another busy closing month is ahead of us. It has gone by so quickly \u2013 we feel like we have just started the season \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next month has more exciting matches and the decision in this year's OOM \u2013 and then this year's Old Boys Golf Trip in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We hope you will enjoy the last matches and we on the board are very much looking forward to meeting at this year's general meeting on the last Friday in October (see notice further down in the email).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

September 1 \u2013 Open Men's Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Registrations for this year's Open Men's Day were a bit slow and ended up with 68 players. The chairman had the day off and was therefore not registered for the match. Instead, he was happy that Live Scoring meant that he could follow the current positions in all 3 rows from home all day long - while he watched golf on TV \ud83d\ude42 That Live Scoring can do something \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was pleasing that many Old Boys participated in the award ceremony \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Old Boys results from the day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A-league: No Old Boys among the first<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B-series: Arve Sund wins with 37 points ahead of Erik Fabrin and Bj\u00f8rn Eliasen. There were 10 Old Boys among the first 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C-series: Poul Birch was tied for first place with 37 points, but had a higher handicap than the other participant from The Scandinavian, who won the series. Ulrik The Eagle Andersen-Alstrup was third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Congratulations to all winners!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to American Wine by Frederik Suhr (yes \u2013 that's the son) for the prize sponsorship!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
September 8 \u2013 Tee Championship Division 4 from Tee 49<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are approaching the decision of this year's Tee Championship and we have a very exciting end again this year. Who will win will only be decided after the match next month, it is that close!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chairman was very unhappy that some people spent WAY too long looking for balls. We have a drop rule E5 on all holes, so as not to slow down the game \u2013 use it \u2013 and don't piss off your Old Boys friends who go after your flight. Mikael Thorsen used E5 a full 4 times during his round \u2013 and there was one flight in particular that didn't use it at all or only when they saw that the flight behind them was ready on the Tee after much more than 3 minutes of searching \u2013 that's too bad. We will keep an eye on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chairman spent 4 hours and 27 minutes on 18 holes \u2013 from TEE 49!<\/strong> No other round this year has taken nearly as long! You simply cannot know that. If we hadn't used Live Scoring on the phone, 2-3 teams would have been disqualified for not submitting scorecards on time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today's winners were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
18-holes: Bj\u00f8rn Eliasen with 38 points ahead of Ulrik The Eagle Andersen-Alstrup also with 38 points and with Michael Gerlif in 3rd place with 35, same as Erling Kj\u00f8lhede in 4th place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9-hole: Torben Hagfelt with 16 points ahead of Christian Ravn with 15 and Erik Hamre also with 15 points. The 9-hole players received wine prizes despite the fact that we had a prize sponsor \u2013 but the prize from the sponsor went to the Old Boys Club and will be raffled off at this year's general meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Today's sponsor) \u2013 Thanks to PJC Sport (XXiO, Cleveland and Srixon)<\/strong> for the prizes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
15 September \u2013 this year's excursion to Lund's Akademiska Golf Club<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
15 old boys had chosen to spend the day in Sweden and we had a wonderful day in Kungsmarken in beautiful sunny weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The result of the match was that Ditlev Bondesen won with 38 points ahead of Formanden with 34 and Michael Laursen with 33 points. After that, 3 players followed, all with 32 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

September 22 \u2013 4-7-9 x 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This month's clap prize match was played in dry weather, even though it was raining just as we were about to leave. Despite playing from tees 57 and 52, no one ran into any time problems like when we played the match 14 days earlier from tee 49 \u2013 thought-provoking! We had closed the result of the match so that you couldn't see the score after the 15th hole played. That makes it a little more exciting and it will continue in the future. Today's result was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A-rank: Erik Fabrin won with 33 points ahead of Michael Laursen and Ib Jacobsen with 31. The wine was won by: Jens Frederik Hansen, Ulrik The Eagle Andersen-Alstrup (who donated the prize to the club fund) and Mikael Randel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B-row: Steen Mahneke won with 31 points ahead of Carsten Buhl Trosborg and Christian Geisler with 28 points. Wine was won by: Ditlev Bondesen and Poul Hansen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C-row: Erik Hamre won with 19 points ahead of Anders Scheuer Nielsen with 16 and Niels J\u00f8rgen J\u00e6ger with 13 points. Wine was won by: Henrik Pedersen, Christian Ravn and Torben Haghfelt. Torben also chose to donate his prize to the club treasury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
September 29 \u2013 Old Boys Ryder Cup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the real Ryder Cup taking place in Rome this weekend, we of course also had to take a look at the Ryder Cup format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a different match and it took 5+ hours to complete \u2013 but there were also 4 players on each team. Again there were players who did not comply with the rule of max leading in the rough for 3 minutes. That is too bad! It affects other Old Boys who play behind them. The chairman had written to everyone how the match should be completed and still there were some who were not completely on board with it \u2013 but everyone came in and was handed scorecards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, there were fewer than eight 9-hole players registered, so their Ryder Cup match had to be cancelled. Instead, they played a normal round from tee 49.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winner of the 18-hole series was: Erik Fabrin with 26 points ahead of Hans Henrik Leschly also with 26 points and with Mikael Randel in 3rd place with 25 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winner of 9-hole series was: S\u00f8ren Juhl Hansen with 14 points ahead of Theis Jensen also with 14 and Erik Hamre with 12 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are now 109 members <\/strong>\ud83d\ude0a<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every new member we get for the rest of the season means we get a new membership record!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Wednesday, August 30th, we were able to welcome member no. 109 to our club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1-2207 Mr. Poul Vesterhouen, who will be turning 70 soon, is a new member of Old Boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To Poul: We are all looking forward to playing with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Birthdays in October<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Poul Vesterhouen turns 70 on October 9th<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otto Nyborg turns 80 on October 20th<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We send a greeting on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old Boys Trip to Spain & a donation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next week, 16 eager Old Boys players will head to Northern Spain for this year's golf trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, Hans J\u00f8rgen Nyegaard had to cancel the trip. Hans J\u00f8rgen is very sorry that he cannot join us and sends his best regards to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a band-aid, Hans J\u00f8rgen has provided the chairman with an amount of money to be used to help buy a drink at the bar for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We thank Hans J\u00f8rgen many times for the donation and send many thoughts and wishes for a speedy return to the Old Boys Friday golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OOM Position<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
With only 2 counting matches left this year, the standings are that these 3 players are highest placed in each row \u2013 mentioned in random order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: Jacobsen, Fabrin, Gerlif<\/p>\n\n\n\n
B: Kersi, Mahneke, Bondesen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C: Henrik P, Hamre, Scheuer Nielsen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Team Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the weekend of September 16-17, KGK hosted the Elite Division playoff and the editorial team thought it was worth sending a reporter to the club when many of Denmark's best players were participating. He didn't meet many KGK members \u2013 very surprising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was an experience to watch how the country's best elite players play and especially how young most of them were. The most well-known were probably John Axelsen and Nanna Koerstz Madsen, who, as you know, plays on the LPGA Tour in the USA and is Denmark's first ever winner on this Tour. She was called up on Sunday afternoon to help Sm\u00f8rum's Ladies Team win. Your correspondent got a "hello" when he got a close-up picture of Nanna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She had brought her bag from the USA, with 'Boca West Country Club' on it, which her caddie steered safely around the course. The ladies play from Tee 52.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNanna puts on Hole 3 \u2013 after she loudly noted that many animals were running past behind the green)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n(Nanna tees off on Hole 1)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Nanna played against a young lady from Hiller\u00f8d and after 3 holes they were 'all square' when your delegate had to go home and make his report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sm\u00f8rum ended up winning the match by a landslide. Sm\u00f8rum won in all 3 divisions: Women, Men and Youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winter tournament?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again this year we are holding a Winter Tournament similar to previous years, however we have dropped the C-series and this is solely due to the fact that out of last year's 10 matches only one match<\/strong> settled in the C-row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a prerequisite to participate that you can play every day of the week.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must register again via GolfBox no later than November 6. Payment of the Match Fee will continue to be made via MobilePay to the chairman at 21644616 \u2013 just provide your membership number \u2013 it costs 50 DKK and the amount goes to prizes in its entirety. Your participation is only confirmed when you have registered + paid the match fee. The First-come, First-served principle applies and you can register by using these links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
