The board has not been idle the last month. Together with Niels Wall\u00f8e, the chairman, and Bj\u00f8rn The Eagle Eliasen, Bj\u00f8rn has put 99% of all this year's matches into GolfBox and from February 1st you can go in and register for all of them - both as an 18- and 9-hole player. Only the matches that require something from others than ourselves are not ready yet. At the same time, we have adjusted (read: corrected errors in) the 2025 Annual Plan so you will find it attached once again \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have also arranged this year's excursion to Sweden, which we sent out on Friday and the registrations went well, because already when Saturday turned into Sunday, we had received 12 registrations for Thursday\/Friday and on Sunday another 2 came in and a total of 23 to play on Friday! If you didn't make it, there is 1 available place for Friday, August 15th at a price of 725 DKK including lunch after the round \u2013 contact the chairman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winter has arrived and the pace of the matches in the Winter Tournaments has slowed down. Some people have been busy the last few months \u2013 especially Row 3. In the match on January 17th between Poul Hansen and Kim Heshe, Poul had to make a Hole-in-One on hole 18 to secure 1 point. Congratulations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In terms of membership, we ended up with 104 paying members + 4 new members + 5 donations, and we are very happy with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just before the editor's deadline, we received notice of changes to the WHS (World Handicap System), but we'll get back to that next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it turns out that we have missed a birthday among the newcomers, we are very sorry - but we are working on the matter and will hopefully get it done before the start of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Profile of the Month<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Member 1-734 Niels Siggaard Jensen, who turned 75 at the beginning of this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 4 questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1: When did you start playing golf \u2013 and at which club?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2: What did you do when you were working?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3: When did you become a member of KGK?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4: What is the best thing for you as a member of the Old Boys club?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.
