A little Break and Exciting News!

By

Dear Members,

I hope you are all well! I would like to inform you that I’m taking a little break from the sun in Cyprus. However, after my first day, I’ve realized that it can also be quite warm in Germany!

During my absence, the Captain’s parking space will be used by Jim Hinder, who has made a donation to my Ronald McDonald House Charity in return. Many thanks for that, Jim!

Today, there is a wonderful Charity Day „ Summer Sizzler“ organized by Michele Miller. In Aid of Friends Hospice Foundation Paphos. I wish all participants a cheerful day of golf on our beautiful course!

I will be back in SV from the second week of September, and I look forward to successful tournaments and events.
A special note: For Captains Day on October 11, I can already reveal the theme: “Oktoberfest” – or as some might say, Beer Festival! White and blue will be the main colors of the day. I welcome anyone who would like to sponsor a hole (€100); the sponsorship will also go to the charity. Please feel free to reach out!

I wish all members a wonderful summer; stay healthy, and I look forward to seeing you all again in September!

Best regards,
Catrin Koring
Club Captain

P.S.: I am always reachable via email or WhatsApp!

Sad News – Angela Turnpenny

By

Dear Members,
We mourn the loss of our cherished member Angela Turnpenny, who had been a part of Secret Valley Golf Resort for the last 5 years.
Angela was a valuable member of our club, known for her dedication, cheerful spirit, and the warmth she brought to everyone around her. She filled our gatherings with joy and leaves an immeasurable void in our community.

After a brief and serious illness, Angela sadly passed away yesterday. During this difficult time, we extend our thoughts to her husband, Blue. Together, we remember the unforgettable moments we shared with Angela.

She will always remain in our hearts, and we will honor her memory.

Warm regards,
Catrin Koring
Club Captain, SVGR

Update – Loukas Adamou

By

Dear Members
Just to update you all on the health of Loukas Adamou who has undergone intensive therapies in his battle with cancer.
Loukas has just had the results of his last scan and the outlook is positive
as the treatment is working and there appears to be no sign of tumors.  Good news for everyone close to this lovely young man.  However, the cancer doctors at The German Oncology Clinic are being cautious and require that Loukas continue with Immune Therapy for at least another 9 months.  This treatment doesn’t come without side effects and Loukas has endured seriously painful joints.  Currently his fingers are very painful and it is causing his doctors some concern as they are worried about long term effects on his hands.  
All this means that for the foreseeable future Loukas is unable to work as he has to continue trying to protect his immune system.  He is also battling the problems of numbness and pain in his hands.  
Loukas has endured so much over the last 2 years and he has remained so positive and mentally strong.  He is extremely grateful to all members at SVGC who have helped to support him throughout this time.  He tells me that he doesn’t have the words to express his gratitude.

Exciting News from Secret Valley Golf Resort

By

Dear Member,

 

We would like to share some exciting news regarding the future of Secret Valley Golf Resort.

 

Bank of Cyprus has finalised an agreement for the sale of the properties comprising the Secret Valley Golf Resort to Schoeller Holdings. This agreement has been executed and, effective as of July 2025, Columbia Secret Valley is now the holding company for all immovable assets within this unique development area.

 

What does this mean for you? In short—business as usual! There will be no changes to our golf operations. You’ll continue to enjoy the same great service, the same friendly faces, and the same commitment to excellence that you’ve come to expect from us.

 

We’re looking forward to this new chapter and the opportunities it brings.

 

Thanks for your continued support. Happy golfing!

Best Regards,


Adam Collinson

What a Summer Party! ☀️🥳

By

Dear Members,

What an incredible evening!

Our Summer Party on Friday, 20 June was a true celebration – with over 100 guests coming together to enjoy, laugh, drink and dance late into the night!

All of it with one heartfelt goal: to raise funds for the Captain’s Charity.

Thanks to the Putting Challenge, Raffle, Auction and the exciting Mystery Boxes bidding, we raised more than €3,000 during the evening.

Our Scottish auctioneer, Gordon, gave everything to raise the price for each item high and higher! We all had a laugh and at the end lots of money went into the cash box. 

The winner of the putting challenge, run by Jamie, was John Owens. He needed only 7 putts for 4 holes. Wow! He went home with a luxury hamper. 

My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who helped organize and execute the event  and to everyone who donated wonderful prizes and contributed in so many ways to make this event possible. Especially Joanne who was involved in the project from the beginning. 

A very special thank you to our member Russel Pomfret and his wife Vivian who donated generously €5,000 plus donations in kind – what an enormously support! 

We were deeply moved by the Vice President of the Ronald McDonald House Charity, who gave an emotional speech about the impact of their work and how our support will make a real difference. Ms Sophia and Ms Georgia were both very impressed by our support for the Charity and enjoyed the evening in this beautiful atmosphere. They thanked me personally for this special evening – the thanks are due to you all!!

✨ Altogether, over €8,000 was raised for the Captain’s Charity – absolutely amazing!

This evening brought us all closer together as a club and reminded us:

We’re not just great at golf – we also know how to party!

To see you all so happy and dancing together – that was truly a wonderful evening! 

 I am grateful, happy, and proud to be part of this amazing community. 


With warmest thanks,

 Catrin Koring

Captains Shootout Winners 18.06.2025

By

Dear Members,

On June 18th, our Captains Shootout took place! 10 women and 8 men participated in an exciting competition, although two players unfortunately had to withdraw last minute on the tournament day. Despite the heat and initial nerves, the tension increased from hole to hole, while the fun never waned. The number of active players decreased throughout the game. Fairness was our top priority. Prosecco, beer, and cold water kept everyone refreshed.

At the end of the tournament, Erica Broadhead and Ma LiMin, as well as Dominic Hampton and John Collinson, faced off at the 18th hole in an exciting duel. A silence fell over the men as a mishit tee shot went into a non playable position. A good shot from the bunker failed to impress the opponent, and two putts were enough for him to secure the victory.

This year’s winners of the Captains Shootout are Dominic Hampton and Erica Broadhead! Congratulations on this wonderful victory!

A big thank you to all participants for making this event a great success!!

Yours,
Catrin Koring
