Jaap Smit & Bert van Polen win final 2009 With Teng Timmermans comes victory for Sjaak Muermans, at last...
September 11th 2009, Royal GC de Sart Tilman, Liege (B)
Last
Friday those qualified and some representatives of the tournaments
sponsors played for the 18th time the final round of the (ISSUE IT)
International Executives Cup, this year organized on the challenging
holes of the Royal Golf Club de Sart Tilman. Not distance but precision
are the ingredients, especially the putting requires everything from a
golfer. It was the ISSUE IT team with its CEO Jaap Smit and businesspartner Bert van Polen who
succeeded to card an on par score, the latter finishing with two
birdies on 17 and 18. It brought them the 2009 International Executives
Cup. In the guest tournament it was the team of Teng Timmermans and Sjaak Muermans
who equalled the on par score. We've never seen a happier Sjaak who
praised one again tourdirector Charly von Freyburg, and reminded all
present that this was his first win in 17, international executive cup,
tournaments in succession. Bravo to all. In his return speech Charly
von Freyburg thanked all sponsors and participants with a special word
of thank you to Etihad Airways for sponsoring a business class
air trip to and from Abu Dabi. Rest to mention that the hosting venue
again served a fine meal with gourmet allure. On the menu were
Coquilles Saint Jacques with a lovely orange and chicory sauce followed
by a generous steak and a creamy dessert. With some confidence we have
good hopes for a renewed get-together in 2010 to play for the 19th
Cup....

YES! 1500 euro for children cancerpatients On September 8th 2009 Holland's playing professional Joost Luiten played a full round with Sjaak Muermans and Teng Timmermans
at G.C. De Rottebergen. The round was part of a private masterclass won
by Sjaak after placing the highest bid in a charity auction of a YES! putter donated by
Aad van Os, owner of Approach Golf. Aad acted as a
spontaneous auction master during the prize-giving dinner of the Spa
round. Most effectively he drove the price up to a generous euro 1500. Receipt of the amount meanwhile has been happily confirmed by KIKA, the Dutch Children's Cancer Fund.
