Today we return to one of the Society’s favorite and most popular courses: a cold start that gives way to a beautiful sunny day. La Finca, the clubhouse majestically situated at the top of the hill, is quite close to many of the members so it’s not too early a start for most. Inaugurated in 2002, Pepe Gancedo, nicknamed “The Picasso of Golf”, designed this course at an elevation that allows you to enjoy fabulous views of the area. Other courses designed by him are in Tenerife.
48 golfers were eager to play this morning, the banter was flowing as usual and the dew was still evident on the 1street. The course gave way to some challenging holes with fast greens that were a little worn and heavily groomed. But overall it was in fabulous condition. Return to The Corner Flag for our presentation, welcome meal and drinks. Thanks to all the staff there.
The door scores this week for this Medal competition were as follows:
Gold: Denis Ryan (Net 72)
Silver: Adrian Roberts (Net 71)
Bronze: Martin Readman (Net 67) and best score of the day: well done.
There will be no “Two” this week, so the pot will move to next week.. Closest to the Pins this week were Rob Fyfe, Martin Clarke, Keith Long and Peter Harding. Yvonne Davies won the football card that was Ipswich Town.
Next week return along the AP7 to Lo Romero, another firm favorite. One last thing, Colin Smith (our charity representative) has raised a further €310 today and a host of gifts from our VERY generous members for A Helping Hand’s Christmas stocking appeal.
The winners were Denis Ryan (Gold, left), Adrian Roberts (Silver, second left), Lee Eastman (Captain, second right) and Martin Readman (Bronze, right).
