“Fall backwards” gave us an extra hour this week but it was still early for some (you know who you are). A lovely warm day of 25c down in Murcia at this slightly Marmite course but it didn’t put off 44 of us (including 3 guests) heading out down the par 5 1st. We last played here in May and this course has gone from strength to strength with a solid grounds team.
The bar area is well serviced with a fantastic breakfast being served. Some great views out over the Murcian landscape on this desert-style course. The weather held really well not like the chips into the green! A mixed review back, mainly from the low handicappers. It is a course suited to the mid and high handicappers from the comments we got back.
All in all, well worth playing (maybe a bit too much “desert style” for some. I shan’t spend too much time on the 12th hole…. I’ll just leave that there and if you know, you know.
This week we have been supporting the RBL Poppy Appeal and will continue to raise funds with their paraphernalia over the next few weeks also.
The scores are in and are as follows:
Gold: Drew “I need my beauty sleep” Niblock (39 points – sharing top score of the day)
Silver: Dave Friedman (39 points – sharing top score of the day)
Bronze: Sten Rønsen (39 points – sharing top score of the day)
Eight (yes 8) Twos today (a skinny pot!) was secured by Richard Howard, Gavin Parke, Dave Rowe (that was a good one), Mick Roscoe, Richard McCann, Sten Rønsen and a Tutu for Richard Whitely. Nearest the Pins, with a prize of a sleeve of SMGS branded balls, were Dave Rowe, John Batterby, Sten Rønsen and Tommy McGinne.
The football card winner with Fulham for Barry “BTB” Roehrig and our McBridge Bottle will be enjoyed this evening by Dave Blinston. Our best guest today was Jon Alston taking home a prized box of SMGS balls! Well done all.
