I am proud to say that I’ve gotten out of Düsseldorf and now reside in Köln. [Dodges glass of Alt thrown at head]

I’m still down in Australia but should be somewhere in Europe come August/September, I’ll keep an eye on things if you guys have something going on then!

Sick! I will be in Europe from May through August but have a 2 year old to look after whilst my wife works, so can’t just drop everything & bugger off unfortunately :grimacing: :joy:

As such, i’ll abstain from voting as I will probably struggle to make any of those dates. If, by some miracle, it works out, i’ll let you know. Viel Glück!

What are we thinking for the tie breaker here if a deciding vote doesn’t come in? :grinning:

Quick update here: We’ve now gone for September 2-4 as the date for the inaugural Charlemagne Cup for European Dominance (patent pending)

The cup will likely be hosted in the Rhineland region, to attract a few more players from Benelux and also because all of Munich seems to be playing club championships that weekend.

Put it in the calendars and more details to follow!

coming over?!

Sadly I’ll be in the US. Playing Gamble Sands with the Broken Tee crew on those dates.

Definitely down for any other time though.

Update:

The event will be hosted in and around Luxembourg, from September 2-4. At least one round will be played at Kikuoka Golf Club, where we will be hosted by one of our RACDG brethren. Kikuoka has a Mercure hotel and spa at the club, making accommodation easy. https://www.kikuoka.lu/
Other playing locations still tbd, but will be within easy driving distance.

@thomstabk , @Goosed , @mgarzar , @BD8 , @flopic7 , @eddietheeagle , @MG82 - just let me know if any of you can make it and are interested in playing!

That would be sick but I’ll be back Down Under by then unfortunately. Thanks for the tag though @dmh & good luck with the meetup :+1:t2::raised_hands:t2:

Hi @dmh ,

sorry for the late reply. I think I should be able to make that. Trying to figure out if I can reach Luxembourg by Friday already. Keep me in the loop please!

Sweet! Just sent you a private message!

…and just like that, the first ever Trophée Charlemagne is in the books!

We had fantastic NLU x Roost RACDG Europe x Broken Tee Society crossover event - marking the first official get-together of our golfing universe on the mainland. 9 players got together in quaint Luxembourg, played 72 holes on demanding courses within 48 hours, battled elements from heat to rain and lightning, and finally found a worthy champion in @thomstabk !

The event will be back next year - likely hosted in the Cologne/Düsseldorf Rhineland region, where the defending champ will show us around his stomping grounds. This is an open invitation for anyone to join us!

A shameless shoutout to the NLU crew - @Soly , @Tron , @djpie , @Randy , @MerchCzar - thanks for making all of this possible and bringing together sickos from all over the world!
