Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 22 October 2014
Today we played another Individual Stableford
competition. 33 members and guests enjoyed
their golf in glorious Spanish autumn sunshine, in fact with temperatures in
the high 20’s, it seemed more like summer.
The course, being prepared for the winter season, was in good condition,
especially the fairways. Marie-José was
the “queen of the par 3’s” today with two nearest to the pins and a birdie on
one of them. Respect to Richard for his
very steady play and being in the frame again this week. He is continuing to
improve his position on the consistency chart.
Our special congratulations go to John “Riggers” Rigby for an impressive
score of 39 points!
Our best wishes for a speedy recovery from his hip
operation go to Bob Crow. He is saying that everything went well and hopes to
be back in Spain end November and back on course by Christmas.We had two guest prizes today. Second came Philip scoring 32 points off 19 handicap and the winner for the second time was Gay Brooks with 33 points also playing off 19 handicap. We look forward to Gay and John joining us as members in the new year.
