Day One - 25/08/2011
Thursday 25 August 2011

It won’t surprise anybody to hear that the course was heavy today. But it was playable. And in much better condition than we could fear, after the storm of tuesday ! In those conditions, it is no wonder to see sometimes higher scores than last year.





The best girl today is Caroline Nistrup from Denmark. She shot a 72 with a consistent 36-36. She is followed by Alison Mc Kechin from Scotland and Natalia Escuriola from Spain who both finished at 73.

The best Belgian girl is the recent winner of the British Girls, Margaux Vanmol at 3 over par (75).

In the Tournament of Nations, Denmark, with Caroline Nistrup and Emily Pedersen, is ahead of the field at 147. They are followed by Spain at 150 and Scotland at 151.




Despite the heavy conditions of today, 15 boys played par or better. The best ones are the Finish boy Mikko Lehtovuori and the German Nicolai von Dellingshausen who both played 3 under par. Mikko was out in 34 and back in 35.





Nicolai, after a very strong start with 3 birdies on the first 3 holes, was out in 33 and back in 36 also for a total of 69. They are followed by two players at 2 under: Joel Girrbach from Switserland and Sebastian Bendsen from Denmark.

The best Belgian boy is Gary Daoust at level par.

In the Tournament of Nations, Italy is leading with Mattia Miloro and Alfredo Pazzeschi at 142. Netherlands is one stroke behind and followed by Switserland at another stroke.

Tonight we shall all pray because the weather forecast is not very optimistic …

THANKS to the Greenkeeper staff
Wednesday 24 August 2011

In first instance, most people who had been faced with the storm were rather discouraged when they were faced with so many scenes of desolation. Some were already advising to send all players back home but some others thought it was still possible to take a chance.

The team of our greenkeeper received then quickly the support of 10 external maintenance staff and removing and cleaning works started less than 1 hour after the storm.





They performed a terrific job so that every hour we could see the state of the course improving: first the fallen tress, then the big branches, then all small branches on greens and fairways followed by pumping of the water in the bunkers and tonight they are attacking the raking of the bunkers.

In the name of all players and of our Committee we want to thank them wholeheartedly: if the Tournament can still be played tomorrow, it’ll be entirely thanks to their fantastic contribution.

More pictures to see in Gallery – Removing works.

FIRST ROUND CANCELLED
Tuesday 23 August 2011

Shortly after our annoucement of this morning another storm reached the course. In 20 minutes the course was totally washed out and more than 40 trees fell down. We have now 30 people from the maintenance team at work to remove fallen trees and branches but to get the course ready for tomorrow is impossible mission.







Therefore we regret to announce that the FIRST ROUND will be CANCELLED. If no other case of major force is met, we hope to be able to play on Thursday.

Captain’s meeting of today is cancelled and replaced by a larger meeting gathering all captains and players, tomorrow Wednesday by 4.00 PM.

Practical information
Monday 08 August 2011

To all players staying at the Sodehotel,

Dear All,

Due to a mishap with the Sodehotel, we have been forced to move everybody to another hotel nearby : the Ramada Brussels Woluwe.

It is a brand new hotel with a contemporary design which opened last April. It is also located at 15 minutes from the Golf Course.

The adress is :
Avenue des Pléiades 67 – 69
1200 Bruxelles
Tel : 02 775 31 82
Fax : 02 775 31 89
Mail : info@ramadabrusselwoluwe.be
Website : www.ramadabrusselswoluwe.be

It is actually more comfortable than the Sodehotel and its prices are even more competitive
Twin room : 90€
Single room : 85€
Triple room : 110€
Breakfast included

We take care of everything for all the rooms which were booked through our organization: you don’t have to worry about anything and will just get your new reservation the day of your arrival at Ravenstein.

Registration
Sunday 17 July 2011

Dear Players,

Together with the National Golf Federations of the following countries: France, The Nederlands,
Germany and Belgium, we have decided to take all the registrations provisionally into account.

However,
as the number of players is limited per country, the final decision will be taken by your federation
on the 11th August.
The selection will be made based on the ranking of each concerned country.
Thank you for your comprehension.

The Staff.

Wednesday 25 May 2011

We are pleased to declare the opening of the registrations for the 33rd Belgian International Juniors, organised with the sponsorship of TOTAL Belgium.



In 2011, the event will be played again in 4 rounds stroke play with a cut after 54 holes.
In consequence, we will be compelled to limit the number of players per country.
In order to ensure a smooth development of the championship, we will not accept more than 144 players overall and we will limit the number of players to 8 boys and 4 girls per country.

For a couple of years now we only accept registrations through the official Golf Federation or Union of each country.

Just as each year, 2 boys and 2 girls will be invited as guests (board and lodging at our expense from the evening of the 21st to 28th August). These 4 players, which will be designated by each Federation, will compose the team representing their country in the team competition. However, unlike previous years, considering the difficulty of finding family accommodations, applications will be handled on a first come – first serve basis. Meals will remain at our expense for the official country representatives (2 boys and 2 girls).

For ease of planning, we kindly request each Federation to inform us as soon as possible about the number of players that they expect to enter for the team competition. This is very important for accommodation purposes. We shall indeed only be able to host the 4 players in the Nations Teams (according to obtained availabilities). However, we arranged special rates with one hotel for individual players:

Hotel SODEHOTEL “La Woluwe”, Woluwe St Pierre, (Tél: +32 2 775 31 11 Fax: +32 2 770 47 80): 105 EUR for a double room, breakfast included.

A shuttle service will be organised from the hotel.



Furthermore, and because of the success of this competition during the last years, we shall have to limit entries to 144 players. We shall therefore close the entries on August 11th, and make the final selection according to the lowest handicaps. Federations will receive our reconfirmation by fax not later than August 10th.

This year we shall be able to organise again an Am-Am competition thanks to the support of “Total”, one of the largest European concerns in fuel and petro-chemicals.
The players will once more have the opportunity to play with their host family. The Am-am competition will be held on Monday 22nd from 8h30 onwards.

Besides the main competition, we confirm that another competition will also be organised on Tuesday August 24th:

The CLEVELAND Longest Drive contest after the practice round


Please observe the closing date of 11th August 2011.

Day Two
Thursday 26 August 2010

After heavy rain during the night, the course was wet and, on top of this, the weather was windy, making playing conditions much more difficult. Probably ideal for a true Scot: with 73, Kelsey Mc Donald shot one of the 3 best scores of the day and has now secured a two strokes lead over the Swiss girl Anaïs Maggetti:

and, the good surprise of the day, the Belgian Fanny Cnops:

Day One
Wednesday 25 August 2010

Roberta Roller from Germany is leading the field with a 69, 3 under par. She played very consistant golf all day with one 5 only on her card. Out in 34, back in 35 and birdies on all par 5. She is followed at 2 strokes by two Belgian Girls, Fanny Cnops and Leslie Cloots and at 3 strokes by a trio composed of Olivia Birrer from Switzerland, Marion Duvernay from France and the almost local player, Kelsey Mc Donald from Scotland who was in contantion for the title in each of the previous 3 editions !




Robert Jonas Kugel, also from Germany, came home with the best score of the day: 68. Out in 33, he seemed a moment in difficulty when scoring two bogeys at 12 and 13. He finished however very strongly with 3 birdies in a row on 16, 17 and 18.



He is followed by Luke Lennox from Ireland who shot 69 and by a threesome at 70: Peter Baek from Denmark, Yannick Bludau from Germany and Andy Chris Orsinger from Switzerland. The best Belgian players are Cédric van Wassenhove from Ravenstein and the two “Raphael’s” – Picone and Higuet - who all scored 71 and are still well placed for the next battles.
12 boys have played under par and 20 have played par or better which gives a good idea of the quality of the field.

In the Nations Cup, Germany is leading the girls and Ireland is leading with the boys.

Candies
Sunday 22 August 2010

Have you had time to relax in this beautiful white marquee next to the putting green? This is where our hostesses are located.

After a long & testing round, nothing is more relaxing than to slump into the comfortable armchairs that you will find there. You can even watch the Olympics on the TV & catch up on your countries medal totals.

You will have also seen the enormous basket of sweets on the hostesses table.

The mouth will water at the site of these succulent “ bonbons”, I mean the sweets not the hostesses you understand.

We would like to thank the sponsor of these candies who prefers to remain anonymous, but whom we will today call Mister G.

It is now 4 years that Mister G has been supplying the young players with “ ENERGY “.

With 3 kilos of confectionery being consumed each day, it makes a total of 1000 grams of Glycerine, 60 grams of Citric Acid, 45 grams of Gelatine & finally 11/4 kilos of colours that is to say a subtle mixture of E104, E133 & E 171 divided up between our 156 players!!

All that to say that these sweets are just the job to attack a long day of golf.

So we look forward to seeing you relaxing in the convivial atmosphere of the hostess tent.

German Selection
Wednesday 11 August 2010

To all German players :



Following our need to limit the number of participants to 144 and our request to the Deutche Golf Verband to make the selection, we have now received the selection of 14 players which is showed on the site. This selection has been mainly based on the ranking in Germany, not on the handicap



We are very sad we can not welcome all of you as we are sure that you are all very good players but in order to keep our Tournament Standard, we have to keep the number of players below 144.



If you have any question, please ask your Federation.

About registrations and arrivals
Wednesday 04 August 2010

As you may have noticed, subscriptions are on… Yet, a few places are available even now. We are still waiting for some players names, such as the Danish, Italian, Dutch, Belgian and French … no worries, they still have a few days to turn in their subscription form : dead line being August 10th.

In order to organize shuttles from airport on arrival in Belgium, we need your flight details (flight number, arrival time, …). The faster, the better …
This year, drivers will be wearing either a green or white shirt. As usual, they will have a TOTAL INTERNATIONAL JUNIORS board so you can recognize them easily. They will, of course, also wear their best smile even if they have to fight for parking spots, lost luggage or flight delays … They will always be in a good mood to welcome you in our country.

Special annoucement
Wednesday 14 July 2010

As each year, and to our greatest pleasure, we are getting many registrations from German players. However, to our deepest regret, we won't be able to accept them all. Only 8 boys and 4 girls per Nation can be retained. Ideally, this selection should be done by the Deutsche Golf Verband. If it is not the case, we shall have to make the selection ourselves, based on handicap. This selection will occur on 11th August.

On the other hand, we understand that most youngsters want to know whether their registration has been received or not. Therefore, we shall show their name on the Player's list with the comment "pending". This means that the registration has been received but is still pending untill the final selection on 11th August.
