Clubitems
De Vlag (The Flag)
Donated by: Board 2001-2002
The flag is the most prominent club item of De Golfbreker. It was gifted by the board from 2001-2002 and has served as the figurehead for the association ever since. This is one of the reasons why it is a very popular item for stealing attempts.
De Brakke Boelo-schaal (De Brakke Boelo plate)
Donated by: Board 2000-2001
Named after: Boelo Schuur
The Brakke Boelo plate was stolen from E.S.W.Z.V Nayade by the board from 2000-2001. DBB originally stood for “Drie Band Biljart” (roughly translated: Three Band Bil- liards”), but was named after Boelo Schuur following a heroic statement by him. The plate is awarded to the most hungover person after every NS(Z)K and twice during the Schier weekend. In the 2017-2018 season, the plate was replaced due to damage.

Donated by: Board 1998-1999
The gavel was arranged by board 1998-1999 and first used at the GMA when board 1999-2000 was hammered in. Since then, the gavel has been used every members meeting during the opening, when making important decisions and for closing.

The Scottish Flag was a gift from the Scottish delegation of The Glasgow University Swim Club in September 1998 when this association came to Groningen to swim a mutual competition against each other.
De Boei (The Buoy)
Donated by: Elvira Flikweerd and Milan Breukers
The Buoy was arranged in 1998 by Elvira Flikweerd and Milan Breukers, making it one of the oldest club items. Initially, the letters were pasted on The Buoy, but in the 2000-2001 season these were sprayed on.

The Chandelier was stolen by Wouter Schaal from a sleeping location during NSZK Amsterdam 1998.
De WC-bril (The Toilet Seat)
Donated by: Jan Wiebe van Niejenhuis
The Toilet Seat was taken at the party location of the NSZK Rotterdam 1999. The quality of the toilet seats was so bad that they had to be replaced. The Toilet Seat was later also printed upon.

Donated by: Board 2007-2008

De Vlaggenstok (The Flagpole)
Donated by: Emiel Kamman and Jan Wiebe van Niejenhuis
On the way to the sleeping location of NSZK Delft 2002, Emiel Kamman and Jan-Wiebe van Niejenhuis arranged The Flagpole. Because it was the last competition of this pair, they handed it over to the board 2002-2003 as a parting gift. The Flagpole unfortunately broke on a consti.
De Nieuwe Vlaggenstok (The New Flagpole)
Donated by: Linda Everlo and Martin Lutke
The New Flagpole was stolen on the way to the sleeping location of the NSZK Enschede 2009, at the risk of their own lives, by Linda Everlo and Martin Lutke. Because The Flagpole had disappeared, this flagpole was hammered in as a club item by the board 2009-2010. Unfortunately, The New Flagpole has also disappeared.
De Nieuwe Nieuwe Vlaggenstok (The New New Flagpole)
Donated by: Jesper Luppes and Derk Jan van Duijn
On Sunday October 23rd 2022 G.S.Z.V. De Golfbreker finally made their debut on the NSWK. On Saturday we travelled far beyond our beloved Groningen to the city of Leiden, because the party was already planned that evening. Afterwards, Jesper and Derk Jan were real partners in crime. The flagpole (including a flag) of one of the local dining places was not safe anymore for out Treasurer and Swimming Commissioner
De Kapiteinspet (The Captain's Cap)
Donated by: Nelleke, Jorinde, Werner, Thamar and Louise
The Captain's Cap was scored in 2005-2006 on an elderly skipper. During the championship party, one of the board's assignments was to score a new club item. The cap is signed by the skippers for the guarantee of authenticity and later hammered in as a club item during the championship party in Café de Toeter. The original Captain's Cap has unfortunately disappeared in the meantime, but a new Captain's Cap was hammered in during the GMA on September 26st 2019.
De GolfBeker Dames & De GolfBeker Heren
(The Golf Cup Women & The Golf Cup Men)
Donated by: Piet van Asperen & Board 2020-2021
The prizes for the club championships were very small and dated. Piet van Asperen thought it was time to change this and was willing to donate two large cups to the association. The board from 2020-2021 has traced all winners from the past and this is how two cups have been created on which all club champions up to 2056 can be engraved.
De Bierwaaier (the Beerfan)
Donated by: Board 2009-2010
The Beer Fan was obtained in return for a stolen club item from DSZ WAVE and was hammered in as a club item by the board 2009-2010.
Bel van Bijlsma
Donated by: Roy Potze and Floor Gerritsma
Named after: Menno Bijlsma
De Bel van Bijlsma was ‘gebrast’ in the 2021-2022 season during the weekend of NSZK IV in Tilburg, where De Golfbreker became champion.
Treasurer Roy Potze and Secretary Floor Gerritsma spotted this bell during the competition, which took place on Sunday. The function of this item was to hold up the control panel of the movable floor of the pool. Roy and Floor thought this was a ridiculous function and therefore took the bell with them to give it a nicer meaning. This item was hammered in during the GMA on 29-09-2022 under the name of De Bel van Bijlsma in honor of the new honorary member, Menno Bijlsma, who was also hammered in at that time. De Bel van Bijlsma will be taken along to each NSZK by the Board and will be rung before the start of the relays. When members hear De Bel van Bijlsma ringing, they will rush to stand along the edge of the pool to cheer on our Golfbrekers and show everyone that we are an incredibly strong blue/yellow team. Just like Menno Bijlsma, who has also been committed to the association for years and still trains, coaches and encourages Golfbrekers!
