• San Javier Golf Society “Individual Stableford Qualifier” Xmas competition at Lo Romero Golf, on Monday 4th December:

A bitterly cold early morning start to our Xmas game, with only one brave (some would say foolish) person out of the 30 plus players wearing shorts: Steve Branston, although he had the last laugh when the temperatures got into the 20’s during the back 9!

This is one of the best courses in Murcia and always a tough test but we love playing here. Thanks to everyone who donated extra prizes (mince pies, wine and chocolates etc. 

The winners on the day were: Division 1: First was Paul Newman with 35 points, Second – Ian price on 34, Third – Frank Murphy also with 34.

In Division 2:  First was new member Peter Ashton with 36 points, Second – Steve Barlow on 32, Third – Clyde Sandry also on 32. In Division 3: First was Jeff Belt with 35 points, Second – Jo Murphy on 32 and Third – John Hillier with 28.

Nearest the pins were won by Simon Speak, Clyde Sandry, Frank Murphy and Paul Matthews. The gross 2 (for 50 euros) was won by Ty Williams. Our next game is a team “Traffic Lights”  competition at La Serena, teeing off at 09:50am on Wednesday 20th December.

Full details will be emailed to all members.
