2015: Indiv. Stablegford (9.9.)

Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 9th September 2015

Today we came together for a team game.  However, the Gota Fría on the previous days somewhat spoiled our competition as the golf course was very wet, including all the bunkers having turned into ponds. So for the protection of the course, we could not use buggies and even the trolleys had to stay on the pathway.  Consequently, a number of members pulled out of the competition.  Our Captain found it very hard to stick to the original concept and decided that we should play Individual Stableford instead. 

He also decided that this competition would not be qualifying for handicap adjustments nor the Consistency Chart.

Welcome back from Holland, Greta and Peter, as Greta made her mark on the par 3’s
