Venue: Bonalba
Golf & Spa, 23rd September 2015
Today we played Individual Stableford which also
qualified for the CL Golf League. We had a very good turn-out with 45 members
and guests. A number of our “swallows” have
now returned to Spain as the autumn weather is settling in giving us sunshine
and comfortable temperatures in the mid twenties – ideal golfing weather.
In competitions there is a saying “Beware of the
injured (or ill) golfer” as on quite a few occasions a player who has not been
well, plays some wonderful golf. Is it because
he concentrates more to make up for not being 100% fit or is it that he does
not raise any expectations and therefore relaxes more and plays better? Or was it that you just had a great day and
everything went well for you? Whatever
the reason, congratulations to you, Jeff, on an excellent win!
Looking at the Consistency Chart, Eddie Rogers, the
sponsor, could be in danger of winning his own prize and Jan, our Vice-Captain
has now overtaken her partner John.
Friday, 24th September is the first match
of the Costa Blanca Golf League. Our
team is playing Marina Alta Golf Society at La Sella Golf Course. We wish them well !
