Some of us took the opportunity to go a day earlier and play
the Desert Spring golf course. Loved by some and hated by others. The
desert-like conditions are not to everyone’s liking as you might find yourself
getting stung by cacti whilst looking for your ball. However, the landscape is very beautiful.
On the first day of the official trip we played at Aguilón
Golf, quite a narrow and hilly course with beautiful scenery. The second day
took us to Lorca Golf. Again a fairly short course with lots of ravines and again beautiful scenery. The third day, on our way back home, we
stopped to play at La Serena Golf near the Mar Menor. Our Ex-Captain Graham who chose this course
as our main stay last year and speaking from last year’s experience, suggested in
order to play this course, we should all be supplied with life jackets, as
there was ample opportunity to fall into the water as nearly every hole has a water
hazard.
On that last day, after golf, we gathered at La Serena Club
Restaurant for a delicious meal and the final presentation of prizes and
reflecting on another very enjoyable and well organised golf trip. Our thanks go to our Captain Angel Centenera
who in turn wants to give thanks to all his helpers, and especially to Stan
Tarabula and to his Vice-Captain Jan Boultbee.
A picture gallery of this trip will be published separately.
