Golf &Spa, Wednesday, 13 August 2014
As the weather forecast was for one of the hottest
days of the year, we were happy to hear that our Captain had decided to play a
team game. 20 members had put their names
down to play Texas Scramble. The one
restriction was that each player had to make four drives. The winning team came
in with an exceptionally good score, five birdies and 13 pars. A great team effort and a wise decision to
let Pascale putt first as she sank some amazing putts.
It was good to see Guy who had come over from France
and looking well after his recent illness.
He and his son were playing as guests today joining Luc, another guest
from France. Guy’s son William won the
guest prize with 35 Stableford points.
We were also very happy to welcome Edi at the prize
giving. He is recovering very well
indeed from his recent operation and hopes to be able to start playing golf
again in about September/October.
