Venue : Alicante Golf, Wednesday, 19 February 2014.
Today we had our first Away-Day of the year which was a qualifier for the Bill Williams Away-Day Shield. Graham, our new Captain, had arranged for us to play Alicante Golf at San Juan. An interesting course with 6 of each par 3, par 4 and par 5, designed by Seve Ballesteros. On this occasion, the course turned out to be quite difficult to play, the CBA (Computer Buffer Adjustment) being -2, i.e. it played two shots more difficult. Maybe the hollow-tining of the tee-boxes were slightly off-putting for some players, but all in all a very pleasant day of golf in beautiful sunshine! And well done to Peter Corbett coming third on his substantial handicap cut last week.
We had 4 guests playing with us today. The guest prize went to Bob Collins with 31 points.
Apart from the normal prizes, we had two additional ones:
2nd short nearest the pin on hole 2 Richard Davis
3rd short nearest the pin hole 10 Michael Davison
Nearest the pins on the following par 3’s :
Hole 6 Jean-Paul Leroux
Hole 8 Tony Dewavrin
Hole 12 Stephen Grey
Hole 17 Greta Biersteker
There was also one two today, Jean-Paul Leroux who receives the customary golf ball.

5th place with 31 points off 8 hcp, Greta Biersteker
