Atalaya\u2019s Third Annual Non-Violence Trophy charity tournament was held on the Old Course on Saturday, the 13th of April. The 18-hole event is sponsored by long-time Atalaya member Clase-G\u00f6ran Kalborg. Kalborg has agreed to underwrite the event for a total of five years.<\/p>\n
The tournament\u2019s format, called \u201cSwedish Medal Play,\u201d is quite different from the normal events played at Atalaya. Competitors regardless of handicap are required to pick up after playing a maximum of five shots over par on any hole.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Non-Violence Trophy winner is Atalaya\u2019s Men\u2019s Captain Richard Phillimore, who carded a Net score of 66 points. Phillimore is the proud recipient of a limited edition, 19 centimetre replica of the famous knotted gun sculpture.<\/p>\n
The replica that Phillimore received was painted by American professional golfer Dustin Johnson. Johnson is one of several well-known celebrities who have decorated their own personal versions of the original knotted gun sculpture crafted by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reutersward.<\/p>\n
