GC Lilienthal: Well beaten, but full of confidence for the future!

The Lilienthal Golf Club has had an exciting but challenging league season. In the end they had to stop participating in this demanding league, as weser-kurier.de reports. Press officer Waltraud Hammerström looks back with pride on the strong team performance, even though they were ultimately unable to stay in the league.

The team, led by captain Thomas Bornemann, was aware of the challenges. “The differences between the regional and major leagues are enormous,” he explains. While the Lilienthalers finished third on four matchdays - which would have been enough to stay in the league - the season ultimately ended in fourth place. The team found this to be a painful but educational experience.

Young talents and personal developments

The good news is that many of the players are still young. Talents like Jens Boeckers, Jendrik Cordes and Robin Jacob bring fresh energy and a willingness to learn to the team. During the year, each player was able to develop individually and achieve personal bests. President Dittmar Schreyer emphasizes the increased awareness of the golf club, which is increasingly seen as committed to sport.

Of course, relegation is disappointing, but the team is optimistic about the future. The experience she has gained this season will help them prepare for promotion again. The goal remains to return to the top league and use the lessons learned.
