Saurines Del La Torre, Thursday 31st October 2024
This month 35 members of AGS went to Saurines de la Torre Golf Resort. The course was in good condition, however, as normal some of the pins were in challenging positions. This month we participated in the annual Memorial Competition, which is dedicated to our past members who have gone to join the golfing gods……RIP.
We Will Remember Them.
The members took a moment of reflection whilst the captain read out the names of our members that have passed away since we were founded in 2008.
The captain then presented the prizes to the following winners: (€10 Voucher for the Lucky Lion bar)
