Yesterday was our Championship Day for May. We had a field of 80 players competing on our home course La Serena. We can’t say anything about the weather other than it was fantastic for golf with a gentle breeze and 28 degrees. These days do not run themselves and we are indebted to 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, Alan Cambell and Terry Fitzgerald. Thank you and well done. To the golf shop with Jose, Karolina and Michael all working efficiently together. To Vanessa, Marijose, and Lorena in the bar and restaurant muchos gracias por todo. The course management team led by Miguel, could really do with some rain and continuous heat, keep up the good work and it will produce results. To our captain Dave Stockton, thank you for your support and we look forward to your day next month.
