Spain – the only place you go outside in Winter to get warm while your house is like the North Pole (IYKYK) – thankfully a breeze-free 10am start was very pleasant and not so many clothing layers were evident today. Our second Eclectic competition was fully subscribed to this very popular course. The sun appeared fleetingly warming the “auld bones” and then the breeze reappeared.
48 eager beavers set off with a fair few walkers trying to shed some of those pudding-pounds (the others buggied who weren’t obviously worried about the post-Christmas poundage!). Today we had an all-female team (which may have been a first for the Society) – the dynamics were good, and the scores weren’t too bad either! Flannigan’s provided the ever-welcome hospitality with some yummy chilli and rice.
And on to the prize-giving presentation:
Gold: Darren Hancock (39 points)
Silver: Roger Webb (40 points and best score of the day)
Bronze: Norman Padmore (39 points)
The “Twos” pot was spread thinly today with seven people managing to get that lovely score on a par 3; Darren Hancock, John Osborne, Mike Stott, Phil de Lacy, Tony Smale, Sandra Dibble (affectionately known as Officer!) and Norman McBride.
NTPs were Peter Turbefield, Norman McBride, Scotty Philips and Mike Stott.
Next week our first 2025 visit to Villamartín – we are trying to get our rounds in here before they are expecting to close later in the year for a total refurbishment of the golf course (which should be amazing once done).
The photos were a complete free for all this week with many “needy” people photobombing (you will be named and shamed). Winners (and non-category winners..) pictured left to right: Darren Strugnell (President, NOT a winner today!), Norman Padmore (Bronze), Mickey Roscoe (winner of sorts -the Abacus!), Darren Hancock (Gold), Tony Smale (NOT a category winner but did get a Two!), Roger Webb (Silver), Lee Eastman (Captain, did win in his category somewhere…) and Norman McBride (NOT a category winner but did get a Two and a NTP – not bad for this soon to be nonagenarian!).
