The golf competition was a stable ford competition for amateurs over 18-holes followed by prize giving at the golf club’s Terrace Restaurant and Wine Cellar. The highlight of the 5-course dinner was the Seared Angus beef tenderloin with colcannon potato, shitake mushrooms and green asparagus served with a glass of Concha Y Toro Trio Reserva Merlot Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile courtesy of IWS.
During the prize giving dinner Nicolas Colsaerts was interviewed by golf club general Manager, Stacey Walton. Nicolas was asked several questions such as his favorite holes and spoke well about the back 9 and particularly 15 to 18 as the most memorable.
Nicolas also mentioned how he played a driver and 3 wood to the back of the green on the long par 5, hole 12 to make birdie. During the interview, Nicolas touched on the equipment he uses in his golf bag and mentioned that he likes to use a selection of clubs & brands that best suit him as he hasn’t got an exclusive sponsorship to use any particular clubs. So, it’s all down to technique and we all know well that Nicolas is very capable of hitting over 300-yards from the tee.
Nicolas mentioned several memorable achievements at both amateur and professional level and was humble to mention how much he enjoys meeting so many interesting people on tour and that golf has provided him with the opportunity to see so many places and have different experiences but life is tough as a touring golf professional.
The dinner ended with the prize giving announcing the results of this month’s golf and wine dinner with the winner
- Ms. Berit Ziegler achieving 32 stable ford points with handicap of 27.Nearest Pin’s were won by her husband Mr. Ingermar Zieglerand the longest drive on hole 9 by Gary Zinn.
