MULLET BAY:--- Under sunny skies and perfectly manicured fairways, 72 golfers wearing Santa hats and dressed in colorful Santa outfits, took over Mullet Bay Golf Course on Saturday while participating in the 2014 annual Santa Scramble.
The annual Santa Scramble tournament organized by the St. Maarten Golf Association was again a tremendous success. This year this annual December charity event was enjoyed by 18 teams of four members each.
After a fierce battle and lots of fun the winner of this year's Santa Scramble was the team of
Leslie Struthers, Ian Gurr, Jean de la Salle and Geoff Heilmann who ended the 18 holes stroke play event after a match of cards with a total score of 58 low net.
Second prize was won by the team of Gill Moriniere, Loic Springer, Jonathan Haillant and William Rosa. Third prize was taken after a match of cards as well by the team consisting of Frank Carter, Trevor DaCosta, Chris van Amersfoort and Marc van Iersel with a score of 60 low net.
After the tournament, all players enjoyed the award ceremony and after party at Crazy Cow Restaurant & Bar on Airport Boulevard. During this event awards were also presented to the annual winners for the 2014 Overall Monthly Medal Plays and to the finalists of the Club Championship 2014 named the Thomas Smith Challenge Cup after long time dedicated member and founder of the SMGA, Thomas Smith. This year Ricardo Perez was crowned Club Champion 2014 and Lieuwe Jan Hiemstra came in 2nd place.
