Tuesday 6th June 2023 The course was in great condition and the sun shone as captain for the day, Jack Moss, led us away. Pride of Scotland, Rona Agnew won the Stableford with 26 points. David Shephard took the longest drive on the 18th with a herculean effort easily clearing 250 metres. Steve Rocks won the nearest the pin, while Tim Pritchard took best guest. Congratulations everyone.
La Finca Hotel overlooking the 18th green, and with its elevated views of the course, played host to the after-game celebrations with much forensic discussion of the days play. A certain amount of humour was taken over the “snack of shame” handed out to non-winners – in reality, a bag of chocolates.
Our day out was completed when we met the Northern Ireland, Tottenham, Arsenal and FA Cup winning legend that is Pat Jennings as we were leaving. Priceless.
