It started in the late 30s when four men around "the fifty" played a "fixed" four-ball on the Tylösandsbanan. They were Oscar Jönsson, Bruno Eherenfelt, Eric Nilsson and Sigfrid Stenberg. They had a very nice time and always ate dinner after the rounds in the Clubhouse restaurant. To have something to play for, Oscar Jönsson, who had a charcuterie shop, set up a sausage as a prize. From time to time, a reserve was probably called in when one of the four had obstacles. Gradually, these reserves and other players wanted to join the "fixed" four-ball community. There were both one and two more four-ballers and a regular competition was established. It required a management, which was responsible for the rules and the practical details. A sausage committee was formed in 1941 and decided that the competition would be played once a week for 10 weeks. The committee consisted of Oscar Jönsson, Erik Nilsson and Sigfrid Stenberg. These also donated the prizes, which would be awarded at each competition. Manufacturer Oscar Jönsson was responsible for the Lybian co-sausage, which was the first prize. That price was the best you could get at that time. There was war and rationing of meat products and the winner may not have had to leave coupons for his prize. If it was a violation of the rationing regulations, then it is statute-barred today. In this way, the competition name "KORVEN" was added. Former "sausage general" Nils Alexandersson (1982-1986) has with expertise and culinary empathy told about this sausage. -The Lybian sausage included the first sort of beef - preferably of bull - diced with lard of the best variety, salt and special sausage spices, and spiced with a little of the "company's" cognac. The authenticity of the latter product was tested before it was added to the sausage mass. After cold smoking, the skin is rubbed in with cooking oil to enhance the appearance, says Nils. Statutes were made in 1964 and it was stipulated in § 11 that "only male players belonging to a recognized golf club and who have reached the age of 50 may participate in the sausage competition. Changes to this rule may not take place". Later rules, later committees have dared to change for practical reasons, so now participants have the right to compete if they turn 50 during the year. § 2 states about the committee: "The committee is elected indefinitely and the members remain as long as they wish. If a member dies or resigns, it is up to the committee to call a successor to him". The democratic principles of "general election" thus do not apply in this illustrious assembly. It was decided that the start-up fees should be used to "reduce the costs of the annual dinner, which meant free dinner for those who participated a certain number of times". The menu at dinner is still according to tradition: Gubbröra with landing, salted beef brisket with root mash and boiled cabbage, ice cream with hot raspberry sauce. Traditions and statutes are still followed with the minor changes that the development of the gulf has brought about over the years. In recent years, the competitions have on average had a participation of over 100 starters.
