Laura Admiraal
President
My name is Laura Admiraal and I am currently serving as President of RSGA.
I have been passionate about golf since I was 10 years old. After taking a break from the sport for nine years, I started playing again last year.
As President of the RSGA, I lead the board and ensure that the association runs smoothly.
My responsibilities include:
- Representing the association externally

- Maintaining relationships with other associations and partners

- Holding final responsibility for the association’s operations and decision-making
Merlijn Wingelaar
Secretary
My name is Merlijn Wingelaar and I am the Secretary of RSGA. I am currently studying Tax, Law & Ethics at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences.
When I joined RSGA in 2025 I was mainly focussed on golfing and getting better at golf. Quite quickly I realised RSGA had so much more to offer than just golf. By attending the weekly drinks and events and by forming a yearclub I created friendships for life.
Of course the competitive aspect also comes into play at RSGA. We frequently organise tournaments and last year I was a part of the tournament committee.
As Secretary, I ensure that everything within the association is well documented and communicated. This includes being a key point of contact for members and external parties, as well as managing internal communication.
My responsibilities include:
- Acting as the first point of contact of the association
- Maintaining the members list
- Writing the monthly newsletter
- Managing the website
- Writing minutes during meetings and the General Members Assembly (GMA)
Feel free to contact me if you have questions about:

Paul Gräffinger
Treasurer
My name is Paul Gräffinger and this academic year I have the pleasure of serving as Treasurer of R.S.G.A. Sweetspot.
As a second-year member, I have already had ample opportunity to enjoy both the sporting and social aspects of our association, with the members' weekend and the anniversary gala being the absolute highlights. These experiences have only strengthened my appreciation for the association and have played a significant role in my decision to take on a board position.
I look upon the achievements of the previous 22 boards with great admiration. I am therefore extremely proud to be able to play my part and, together with my fellow board members, build upon the foundations laid by our predecessors.
As Treasurer, I am responsible for maintaining an orderly and transparent financial administration. I consider it particularly important that our members receive as much value as possible in return for their membership fees, while ensuring the long-term financial stability of our association. I am therefore confident that my efforts will not only make a meaningful contribution during this board year, but will also help shape the future of R.S.G.A., allowing future generations of RSGA members to enjoy our association to the fullest.
What makes golf such a wonderful sport to me is the way in which sportsmanship and sociability go hand in hand, and the fact that a well-deserved drink does not necessarily have to be reserved for the evening. It will therefore come as little surprise that my favourite hole is, without a doubt, the nineteenth.
My responsibilities include:
- Budgeting and financial planning
- Collecting membership fees
- Handling transactions and payments
- Producing the annual financial report
- Guiding committees with their budgets
Victor van der Meer
Internal Affairs
My name is Victor van der Meer and I am responsible for internal relations at RSGA.
I was born and raised in Rotterdam. I had never golfed before I joined RSGA.
In my role, I am primarily responsible for strengthening both internal and external relations within the association. This includes fostering member engagement and ensuring smooth communication and organisation within the club.
My responsibilities include:
- Promoting the bonding of members
- Organising yearclubs
- Organising the yearclub competition
- Handling conflicts within the association
Oscar van Loon
External Affairs & Marketing
My name is Oscar van Loon and I am responsible for external relations and marketing within RSGA. I am studying business administration at Erasmus University Rotterdam.
I started playing golf when I was a kid, but stopped for a while. Since a year ago I started playing again.

My responsibilities include:
- Partner acquisition
- Maintaining relationships with other associations
- Organising collaborations with other associations
