The Mercedes-Benz “Open Experience” at Royal Portrush, Ireland with Dreamland Member Steve Baker
Following on from the success in the Bulgarian Regional Final, Dreamland member Steve Baker travelled to Ireland to watch The Open as a Mercedes-Benz 'Drive to the Major' champion. 
“With 29 winners from all corners of the globe arriving in Ireland we felt like we had actually won the Claret Jug itself, from stepping off the plane and being driven to the Hilton in Belfast, where an 'Open Goodie Bag” was already awaiting us in the hotel room. We then attended the first “welcome of the winners” with a Champagne reception and dinner, getting to know some of our team a bit more. For the first day of The Open we experienced some fantastic Mercedes VIP hospitality, from breakfast, being driven from Belfast to Portrush, to spending an evening dinner in the magnificent company of Rickie Fowler not to mention the fantastic Royal Portrush golf course with all the world’s top players displaying their skills in front of our very eyes. The atmosphere on the Royal Portrush golf course each of the four days was fantastic (arguably the best in history) considering fans local boy, McIroy, failed to make the cut. As a Mercedes guest we enjoyed hospitality suites on the 18th and the 9th holes and during any breaks in the weather these two watering holes looked after us very well indeed! I personally missed one the Mercedes planned dinner events on day 3, opting to stay at the golf course until the leaders came in, then catch the train from Portrush to Belfast. With golf fans all around even the train journey was fantastic with all in good humour with some fans little bit worse for wear.
The final day atmosphere is one I shall never forget, as winner Shane Lowry received the loudest of appreciation at each hole, even during the down pour of rain for a few holes. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would encourage the dreamland golfers to really go for it when the MercedesTrophy appears on our calendar in 2020. Finally a big thank you to Mercedes Benz Azerbaijan and Dreamland Golf Club for making this trip so special.
Regards, Steve Baker

Saturday 27th of July 2019 – Saturday Roll Up Results
Excellent playing conditions were enjoyed on Saturday, with 36 members using this opportunity to participate in the weekly Saturday Roll Up. Winner was Gary Gault with fantastic 5 under par 41 points. There was a tie for second place with Graham Beattie and Dale McFadden both scoring 3 under par 39 points. In order to determine second place winner, it required us to look at their back nine scores. After countback Graham took second place with better back nine score 21pts and Dale’s inward score of 20pts were enough for the 3rd place.
