Impressions day 1 Picture: Roland Kunz The start of the tournament took place with simultaneous tee-offs at the holes 1 and 10 of the yellow/black course. The sky was mostly covered with clouds. Only occasionally the beautiful mountains in the south can be glimpsed. But I am quite sure that the athletes only had eyes for their flying balls. The concentration reached new levels. The day was riddled with marvellous strokes no matter the ball positions. One extraordinary shot succeeded Therese Nerpin with a Hole-in-One (please see below). Another athlete finished with birdie, birdie and eagle on the last three holes. But golf can sometimes be very pitiless. The Head Greenkeeper was not really amused seeing one player hitting holes in the tee with his driver. But he took it with humour, especially as the player did his best to camouflage his blowup. The extraordinary and the bad strokes ar sometimes very close... Consulting the scoreboard at the end of the day, it shows that nine athletes played below par. Whereof one player, Therese Nerpin from Halmstad University Sweden, finished with a score of 66, five below par. For a short period of time the weather was not the golfer s best friend. It started to rain. In their concentration it appeared that some players did not even recognise the drops. Finally it cleared up and more and more the scenery was enlighted with a warm sunlight. Lucky those who were brave and put on shorts early in the morning. And so every nice first tournament day comes to a close. Maybe now the athletes, the officials and the visitors could enjoy the beautiful sight of the Säntis the highest mountain in East Switzerland. If not, maybe they have another chance tomorrow morning when the starter declares the course free for tee-off... Roland Kunz Daily News 3 Thursday September 17 th EUC Golf 2015 3
Commentary and a highlight of the day Pictures: Roland Kunz, Facebook Referee This is a verbal warning for the whole flight. With this words on his lips I met Roger Volken, referee of the tournament, the first time on the course. He warned the players as they are 17 minutes behind the schedule. Roger s duty is observing the players if they follow the official rules. Further he is looking that the pace is according to the schedule. First Hole in One Congratulations to Therese Nerpin from Halmstad University Sweden. She shot the first Hole-in-One of the tournament. And it was the first Hole-in-One of her young career. This skilfull act succeded Therese at hole 5 at the yellow course, a par 3 of 156 metres. Who is next? Roland Kunz Shortly before the first tournament day is finished, Roger explained that it was a quiet day for him. Let s do our best that the following days will end with the same statement.
