A difficult first day: 14th at 12 rounds of the 8th.

The first eight remain in D3 and play for the rise in D2 (2 climbs), the others play the dams not to descend in D4 (4 relegations).
Despite the superb -2 of Camille and a very good + 5 of Mathias, the team cannot do better than 14th with a score average to +10. The game level  is really high.

Second day: The "REMONTADA"

Thanks to a team spirit and high scores by Steffen (-1) and Camille and with a score average of +5, the team ranks 3rd of the day and goes up to 7th place almost unexpectedly. Holding the D3 is guaranteed!
Tomorrow we will meet the locals who finish ex-aequo with the first.

Third day: Match against Béziers Saint Thomas: What a match!

The team aligned by our opponents is very homogeneous with indexes from -1.7 to 1.9. It will be very hard!
In the morning the duo of Steffen and Camille wins in playoff at the 20th hole while David and Tony bow.
Not even the time to take a pasta dish, you have to leave for the simple.
Steffen bows in Game 1, Camille wins in play-off at the 20th hole, Mathias fights like a good devil but loses his match at 18. Frédéric is in play off while Gauthier brings us another point that allows us to Hoping as Frédéric and his opponent share the 19th hole. And it is in the 20th hole once again that Frederic will bring the victory point. Great victory against tough opponents and in an excellent state of mind.

But what joy, emotions and pride and what a game!

Last round: The climb to D2?

It is the team of Dolce Frégate that we meet after their victory over Marseille La Salette.
The team is motivated like never before and the double Steffen and Camille imposed themselves in play off at the 19th hole. The double Arthur / David yields to the 17th hole after a very nice part of our representatives.
In the first single Steffen loses to the 18 on one blow of its adversary of 230m which finishes to 1 meter of the flag while Camille imposes once more, solid our champion. Faithful to his temper Mathias clings but he also bowed to the 18. Frédéric is about to equalize to the 18 when Gauthier yields to the 15.
It is finished with our hopes of climbing.
After the sadness and the disappointment of the moment our super coach Loïc and the captain take the floor to congratulate all the players of having carried loudly the colors of our club in an exemplary way while emphasizing the very good functioning of the group.

The team: Coach Loïc Reyno, Steffen Harm, Camille Bordone, Mathias François, Frédéric Deniau, Gauthier Chaib-Galli, Baptiste Bordone, Tony Constant, David Bourbonnaud, Arthur Delgado and Bruno Dellasta (captain).

In addition to a traditional "close to the pin" at No. 5, won by François Quilès, there was an "Irish elegance" competition and our exceptional jury had difficulty deciding between the couples who had sported the colors of Ireland throughout the day.

It was finally Fred and Micheline who were elected among the many "nominees".
