The adventure begins with lots of ideas and how it will be. Jurgen Smit en Sharon Broeders and myself. Last week it was time to start with building up this tournament , 2 days of very hot temperatures from 34 Celsius and more. Lots of volunteers are already on their post. Doing lots of work the hole week , without them there wasn’t a Dutch open, you where Amazing!!!!!! . The top judges Petra, Vittorio, Marc,Jan and Christl. The Sponsor Happy Dog. Thanks for the beautiful prices. The venue”het Keelven in Someren. Leon for his amazing presentation performance and site building. Pieter for the live results. And on and on.
