2016: Indiv. Stableford (24.8.)

  Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 24 August 2016

The competition today was Individual Stableford.  29 members and one guest signed in on this beautiful sunny morning which started us off to a very pleasant round of golf.  It was a day where the course seemed to be kind to us as over half the players scored 30+ points and the first five went to par and better.  Well played to everyone and especially to the winner, our Treasurer James who is returning to some good form after his various breaks from golf recently.

We were happy to welcome our guest Ninolito, the son of Nino Andres who scored 33 points on a one stroke handicap and received the well earned guest prize.

At prize giving, the Captain reminded us that, after a break during the summer season, the customary meal after the Monthly Medal competition will now be resumed. She has organised a meal for the first Wednesday in September after Medal Play which will be at the Bonalba Golf Club.  On the menu are various tapas dishes.
