2014: Texas Scramble (10.12.)

3rd place winners and surrogate Santa

Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 10 December 2014

Today was Christmas Present Day.  Each player had to bring a present to the value of €10 and the winning team had first choice to take a present, followed by the next best team in order of placings.  We had 35 members and 1 guest competing and we all enjoyed a relaxing round of Texas Scramble.  Well done to Clive who had an Eagle on hole 6.  Richard was the king of the par 3’s today, coming nearest to the pin on three occasions and consequently needed a carrier bag for the bottles of wine he received as prizes.

After the golf, we sat down to a good lunch at the Bonalba Club restaurant and enjoyed the pre-Christmas seson.

Nearest the pins:

Hole 4            Richard Davis
Hole 8            Stephen Grey
Hole 11          Richard Davis
Hole 14          Richard Davis

There were also three twos today, two coming from Richard on the 4^th and 14^th and one from Clive, also on the 14^th.  They receive the customary golf balls.
