It’s soon time for the major bi-annual golf event that has been played since 1956, the prestigious Scandinavian Cup; this time it’s the 85th time around. As you might remember, last year it was the 2-day 50th anniversary tournament but now we are back to normal competitions again. “We” will then obviously play for the 100th time in October 2014!

We look forward to seeing both old and new players from all the Nordic countries to join the 2007 Spring Tournament. Also this time we will play at Windsor Park Golf & Country Club, a place, which has become quite popular recently, and the so called Finnkampen or Routsikampi between SCCJ and FCCJ will took place there last week. FCCJ was the winner!
You will find information about the club if you click here.

Windsor Park is located north of Tokyo along Highway no 6, Joban Expressway and it will take slightly less than 2 hours to go there, so, you should leave central Tokyo at latest 6:45, as we will start at 9:00. If you don’t drive you can also go by train, see the homepage of WPGCC.

We will play 18 holes with out break. Snacks will be served when you pass the clubhouse after 9 holes. After playing, please relax in the ofuro for a while when we will find out who the winner is. As usual you will get food, buffet and BBQ style, and drinks during the price ceremony. We think you will be able to return to Tokyo around 16:00.

As usually, the price for the event is rather favourable.
Payment to the Club 9,700 yen (Members 8,500 yen), please pay this before leaving the club.
Competition fee is 4000 yen and will be collected upon your arrival to the club or during the price ceremony.

We have reserved space for 48 players, first come, first served. The only additional cost is to buy drinks at the rest houses on the course or having a breakfast when you arrive.
As Windsor also have a hotel you can come the night before and stay overnight. You will be able to play 9 holes free of charge on Thursday afternoon, starting after 14:00.

As usual we will play the Stableford system (“Poängboggie”) and in order to give everybody a fair chance, please advise your present handicap, or your three latest scores and your Stableford points or show your official hcp-card.
Maximum handicap in the competition is 30 for men and 36 for ladies. Junior players have a separate competition. In case of space available, you are allowed to bring a Nordic guest, but they can’t win the major prices. If you have any questions on rules (see website) or practical matters, please contact Kjell Groth or Calle Eklund.

Both the Men and the Ladies can play for the main Scandinavian Cup but ladies also have a second chance win a separate Ladies Cup. We now play for the 4th Scandinavian Cup donated by Jan Helgesen 1996. Defending Champion is Lotta Porat, but unfortunately she can’t defend the cup this time.

It’s a nice tradition that each player brings some prices, so please don’t forget this. If your company would like to make a substantial sponsoring we will of course put your logo on the website! Please send the logo by E-mail to Kjell. We hope that our old sponsors will continue to support the tournament, and we also hope for some interesting prices from new sponsors as well.

Please send in your applications to play in Scandinavian cup, preferable before May 15, by e-mail, fax or directly on the web site. We will send out the starting list but you will also find it on the home page, so please check the Scandinavian Cup site, some new information will be posted from time to time.

There have been some changes in the rules so please read them here. The three major changes are:
- you can’t win the cup the first time you play
- no touch, play the ball without any improvement
- the rule of handicap reduction of first, second and third place next time you play is taken away.

If you know some newcomers, please forward this message to them!

Keep swinging and see you on May 18!
