Back at one of the Society’s favourite and most popular courses today – a chilly start giving way to a beautiful sunny day. La Finca, the clubhouse majestically perched on top of the hill, is quite close to a lot of the members so not too much of an early start for most. Opened in 2002, Pepe Gancedo, dubbed “The Picasso of Golf”, designed this course on an elevation allowing some fabulous views out over the local area. Other courses designed by him are in Tenerife.
48 golfers were chomping at the bit to tee off this morning, the banter was flowing as per usual, and the dew was still evident down the 1st. The course gave way to some challenging holes with fast greens being a little scuffed and well-trodden. But overall, it was in fabulous condition. Back to The Corner Flag for our presentation, welcome grub and beverages. Thanks to all the staff there.
The scores on the doors this week for this Medal competition were as follows:
Gold: Denis Ryan (Net 72)
Silver: Adrian Roberts (Net 71)
Bronze: Martin Readman (Net 67) and the best score of the day – well done.
Not a “Two” to be had this week, so the pot will roll over to next week. Nearest the Pins this week were Rob Fyfe, Martin Clarke, Keith Long and Peter Harding. Yvonne Davies won the football card which was Ipswich Town.
Next week back down the AP7 to Lo Romero – another firm favourite. One final thing, Colin Smith (our Charity rep) has collected a further €310 today and a large haul of goodies from our VERY generous members for A Helping Hand’s Christmas Stocking appeal.
Winners pictured Denis Ryan (Gold, left), Adrian Roberts (Silver, second left), Lee Eastman (Captain, second right) and Martin Readman (Bronze, right).
