| Who is that Blue intruder? |
Venue: Bonalba
Golf & Spa, 25 April 2018
Today, our Captain again felt genereous with the prizes as we played
Doubles Matchplay as a Team Game. There
were 35 members and one guest divided into “Pink” and “Blue” teams
according to our older and newer Society shirt colours, so there was a 50/50
chance of winning a prize. The object of
the game was for each team to score as many points as possible where a win
counted 2 points, a draw 1 point and a loss 0 points.
In the end, the “Blue Pairings” won 4 matches and the “Pink Pairings”
also won 4 matches and one match was a draw. This meant that each team had a total of 9
points. The winning team was decided on
countback of the actual results of each match and congratulations go to the "Pinks" who came out on top. It seems, that “pink” is the lucky colour as this was the third time we played a 50/50 game and the pink team won on every occasion.
Prior to prize giving, there were two announcements. Jan, the
Competition Secretary, explained that the yearly Doubles and Singles Matchplay will
take place from October to December with the finals being played in January
2019. This time limit will make it
easier for the members to decide whether or not they will be available to enter
the competition.
Richard informed us of a change in venue of the next Bill Williams Away
Day competition on 30th May. Due to changed dates of hollow-tining,
Alicante Golf, as well as Bonalba Golf, are unplayable. He managed to secure tee-times at short notice
at La Galiana Golf near Gandia. Although
the travelling time from Bonalba is slightly longer than the average Away Day
trip, La Galiana is a beautiful course and well worth the trip.
Summarizing the results:
Nearest the pin: Hole 4 Luc Sienaert
Hole 8 Jan Boultbee
Hole 11 Nino Andres Aloras
Hole 14 Roger Hunger
There
were 4 twos today, on hole 4 from Brian
Wakely, on hole 8 from Peter Corbett and Erik Paesmans and on hole 11 from
Nino. They all received the customary
golf ball, generously sponsored by Bob Crow.
The
main competition results were:
A win for the Pinks:Luc V/Keith, Jean-Paul/Pierre, Nick/Peter C, Richard/Maurice (guest), Greta/Bob C, Brian W/Chris, Michael/Roger, Santi/Brian H, Eddy F/James
