Last Sunday was our Championship Day for August. The weather again is a very high 32 degrees with high humidity, one player compared it to a sauna. Thanks to our birthday boy Denis and Camillus for organising the field. To the golf shop with Jose, Karolina, and Oscar all working efficiently together. To Ellie, Marijose, Vanessa and Gloria in the bar and restaurant muchos gracias por todo. Gracias a Duly y su hermana Fina, it is great to see Fina back working again. They keep the clubhouse looking spick and span.
