Mixed Seniors 2021-2020

There are only two golf clubs in Switzerland that have a "Mixed Seniors" section. One of them is the Ybrig Golf Club. Our mixed seniors group is an active group that not only meets to play golf in Ybrig, but also goes on excursions to other golf courses from time to time. Camaraderie and socialising are never neglected.

Excursion Gams from 24.09.2021

Our day trip to Gams was a complete success! The weather was at its best, namely sunny and still very warm! The atmosphere was excellent and we were able to play our free golf on a well-kept course. After the round, we were even able to enjoy a snack outside and round off the day together. Thank you very much for being there.

A few memories of this wonderful autumn trip to Gams ....

5-team tournament on 01/09/2021 under the motto blue and white; but we are not blue

Our popular 5-a-side tournament was held in glorious sunshine and was well attended. At the welcoming ceremony, we were presented with a blue balloon, which could be used as a mulligan for each participant and had to be released into the air when redeemed. The organising committee (Daniel and Denise Roth, Rita Meienberg and Ingrid Fässler) also had a lot to offer.  We spared no effort and placed many specials on various holes. Hole 7 nearest to the champagne balloon; hole 10 nearest to the line; hole 15 we were first presented with a monastery sparkling wine and  The next round was the nearest to the pin. 

A 3-way scramble was played with sensational results:

1st place net with 52 points: Bruno Zingg, Kurt Brülhart, Doris Kälin

2nd place net with 49 points: Werner Meienberg, Liz Rosenberger, Birgit Kohler

3rd place net with 47 points: Werner Schläpfer, Martha Huggenberger, Orlanda Bayer

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Many, many thanks to the Jubilaren for their generous sponsorship and to the organising committee for the fantastic tournament!

Excursion to Weissensberg and Lindau from 18 \ 19 August 2021

Thirty loyal MS travelled individually directly to the Weissensberg golf course. As soon as the first flight started, the first rays of sunshine arrived and we were able to play golf in pleasant temperatures. We found a beautiful and well-kept course. After the round, we met up again on the marvellous clubhouse terrace for a drink and a bite to eat. Our next stop was the Hotel Edita in Scheidegg. After checking in and changing, we met outside for an aperitif in the lounge chairs and then headed inside for a delicious dinner. The next morning, fortified with a hearty breakfast, our excursion continued to the Lindau-Bad Schachen golf course. Another wonderfully warm day, a beautiful course with marvellous fields of flowers and lots of fruit trees; simply wonderful. After refreshments in the clubhouse, everyone left one after the other, some heading home, others back to the hotel or simply one house further on. Orlanda and I hope that you all enjoyed yourselves and will be back next time! A few great impressions......

Mixed Seniors HCP Tournament from 05.08.2021

Once again, all 26 registered MS started in the rain! The atmosphere was not bad at all, as everyone knew what it felt like to play in the rain. Enough is enough though; after two and a half hours there was a downpour accompanied by squalls and thunder. Thankfully, everyone was able to finish at least nine holes before we had to abandon the tournament. We then had nine holes scored, but not handicap-relevant. After a warm shower, we were spontaneously invited to an aperitif riche by our dear Ruth Eschenmoser.
Many thanks again at this point, dear Ruth.

The lucky tournament winners were:

1st gross: Ringler Patrik

1st net: Bayer Orlanda

2nd net: Kohler Birgit

Despite the downpour, we had a great afternoon. Thank you very much for your contribution.

Excursion to Brand/Braz/Rankweil from 7 - 9 June 2021

All 28 participants arrived in Brand on time for their tee-off time and we were able to start in dry weather. We found a beautifully situated and well-kept course. Everyone got a little wet from time to time, but the sun also made an appearance from time to time. In the evening, we enjoyed an aperitif and a delicious dinner together. On the second day, after a wonderful breakfast buffet, we travelled to the Braz golf course in glorious sunshine and pleasant temperatures. This course was also in excellent condition and almost all of us were able to finish the round. On this day too, it suddenly became dark in the sky and it started to rain like buckets. On the third day, we were spoilt with plenty of sunshine and were able to let off steam on the flat and long fairways. Here we played a challenge (four ball better ball) and Liz Rosenberger with Alfred Kohler, Trudi Rusca with Rita Meienberg won this game. After a small snack in the beautiful clubhouse, we said our goodbyes and drove home in unspeakable downpours.

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL ......

A few more impressions as a reminder

2020 season

Mixed Seniors give an take 4 racket final tournament from 1.10.2020

We spent a wonderful and autumnally colourful day on our well-tended course. On some holes, we would have liked to have had one more club with us, but all players were checked by our starter Chris to ensure that only four clubs were in the bag.

Before dinner we were invited to an aperitif by Doris and Peter Kälin. Many thanks to both of you!

Once everyone had taken their place at the table, we were treated to a delicious meal by the kitchen team, which was donated from our cash box.

Later, Orlanda informed us about the upcoming 2021 season and thanked our club manager Christian, the lovely girls Petra and Janine from the secretariat, Werni Marty and his excellent kitchen and service team, the greenkeepers and our good souls Doris and Daniela for the good cooperation,  the well-kept place and the clean premises.

On behalf of the participants, Martha presented Orlanda and me with an extremely generous voucher for our efforts in the past season, for which we would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again. Dear Orlanda, thank you once again for the beautiful flower arrangement you presented me with.

As the name "give and take" suggests, all participants brought a small gift and everyone was allowed to take something home with them. As every year, everyone started at the back of the results list and picked up a gift in order up to first place.

Reminder:

1st gross: Liz Rosenberger
1st net: Denise Roth
2nd net: Rita Meienberg
3rd net: Erika Fierz

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the noble donors once again!

Mixed Seniors trip to Oberstaufen 30.8.-1.9.2020

On the trip to Oberstaufen, Peter was still sleeping a little and we all arrived in pouring rain. Nobody wanted to play golf in the wet, so we had a snack first. Later, some of us went to the bar to play, while others spent a little time in the village. From 6.30 pm, we were invited by the hotel to an aperitif in the bar, and the atmosphere was very good despite the lost golf day. After a delicious 5-course meal, most of us went to the bar for a nightcap. It should be noted that we always had to wear a mask when walking or standing in the hotel tract. If we forgot it, we were punished with nasty looks from other guests and had to put it on immediately.

On Monday, we were finally able to play golf on the Buflinger Hausplatz. The course was beautiful, but very strenuous.

After the round, some people rested in their rooms, others travelled to Immenstadt or the village of Oberstaufen and ended the day in this way until dinner at the hotel. Unfortunately, it rained again on the last day and all but one flight went home after breakfast, travelled on or stayed on for a few more days. The rain-resistant flight played nine holes twice on the Scheidegg golf course before travelling home and only got a little wet on the first seven holes.

Our excursionists with and without masks......

Mixed Seniors Tour Andermatt/Sedrun 9/10 July 2020

 In bright sunshine, all 35 participants gradually arrived at the golf course in Andermatt in good spirits from 9am. The first flight started at 9.36 a.m. and then continued at 12-minute intervals. They played on a very well-kept and challenging course and walked many kilometres up and down the course. After the round, everyone met up in the clubhouse on the beautiful terrace until it was time to set off on the journey to Sedrun. Once everyone had checked into the "Cruna" hotel and settled into their rooms, we met in the billiard room for an aperitif. Afterwards, we enjoyed a wonderful 4-course meal. All those who were not yet tired met outside for a Schlumi.

On the second day, the weather was again kind to us and we were once again able to drive onto the Sedrun golf course in the sunshine, fuelled by a delicious breakfast buffet, and greet Jimmy. The joy of seeing him again was great. But this course really had it all; steep downhill, steep uphill etc. etc. All in all, however, it was beautiful again. When we were surprised by heavy rain in the afternoon, not everyone was sad when it was no longer possible to continue playing. After some refreshments in the clubhouse, Jimmy announced the ranking for the putts (ladies/men) and nearest to the pin (ladies/men). The prizes (Grisons golf balls in original packaging) were sponsored by Sedrun Golf Club.

The winners were:
Putts: Liz Rosenberger and Peter Kälin
Nearest to the pin: Erika Fierz and Diego Rusca

Impressions of a wonderful and successful excursion....
