21 members from Alfie’s GS travelled to Saurines de la Torre GC for the final event in the calendar for 2018 which would decide who would take the honours for the Championship Golfer of The Year.
The weather was cold and wet making the golf a real challenge. The course was in reasonable condition bearing in mind the rain we have had in the last few weeks. The presentation was held at The Street restaurant in the evening as this was also the Alfies Christmas Dinner and a good time was had by all. As the golfers came off the course the positions of the winners was changing all the time with the final stages deciding who came out on top.
Our winner of the day in the silver division was Jim Dempsey with a great score of 40 stableford points
Second place went to Wayne Stevenson with a score of 33 Stableford points.
The Winner of the gold division was Ian Ingledew our society Captain with a fantastic score of 40 stableford points. Second place went to Nick Lee who also had 40 points but lost out on count back.
