Yesterday was Championship day for November at our home course of La Serena. We had 82 players on the day another fantastic turnout The weather for this time of the year was quite pleasant but the wind got up later on in the day and made the course that little bit more challenging. These days do not run themselves, there is a team of people who all work together to make the event such a success.
The competitions committee under the guidance of Camillus Fitzpatrick and ably assisted by Philip Mountford and Terry Fitzgerald. Thank you and well done. To the golf shop with Karolina, Jose and Paul looking after our every need.
