Our annual competition for the Presidents Cup and Fundraiser for the Royal British Legion was a fantastic success. This was wholly due to the support of all you lovely people, the staff & management of Drivers Bar & Bistro and our representative from the RBL, Bob Smith.
Thirty of us teed off on time at 11:40 in quite a stiff cool breeze which morphed into a familiar warm sunny Costa Blanca Day after a couple of hours. The course was in very good condition, save for a couple of fairways on the new back nine, so all in all very conducive to some pretty impressive scores as reflected in the leaderboard.
Overall winner and recipient of the Presidents Cup was Cheryl Isacc with a stonking 47pts. Many congratulations Cheryl, your name has been added to our Roll of Honour on the website.
Mens Division Winners;
1st place on c/b with 38pts was Sammy Tumblety. 2nd place on c/b also with 38pts was Noel Collins.
Ladies Division Winners:
1st Place with 47pts was Cheryl Isaac. 2nd Place with 36pts was Rosemary Andersen.
Best Guest with 38pts was George Chisholm.
Nearest the Pin on Hole 3 was Cheryl Isaac, Nearest the Pin on Hole 13 was Martin Langley
Mens Longest Drive on Hole 15 was Phil Lenehan, Ladies Longest Drive on Hole 9 was Anna Marie Dutton
Congratulations to All of you it was pretty impressive stuff
Back at Drivers Bar our presentation dinner was preceded with a recitation by Cliff Morton of an “Ode to the Fallen” followed by a moving delivery of “The Last Post” by Ian Gibson who also said ‘Yorkshire Grace’ (lol) before we tucked in to our delicious meals which were then served.
After dinner Cliff presented the Golf competition prizes and the Presidents Cup in his usual inimitable manner accompanied by much laughter and applause. A bumper raffle followed which was rounded off with the results of the ‘Guess the number of Golf balls in the box’ competition (it was 173 by the way). All of which raised a total of €340 for the Royal British legion, great job everyone.
We couldn’t have done any of the above without the continued hard work, sponsorship and support of Mags, Pete, Glenys & Alan and their team with special thanks to Chef Ben for such a great event dinner.
Much appreciation also to Brenda & Wayne our volunteer helpers,
Pete & Cliff
