Today's winning teams |
Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa,
27 June 2018
Today’s weather forecast was for temperatures rising above 30 degrees C,
so we were pleased to play a Texas Scramble which, in general, is a more
relaxed format of golf. Depending on how
the game is progressing, you can choose to skip the odd shots and save your
energy for the important shots.
There were 10 teams of 4 starting from both tee 1 and tee 10. The three
guests today were included in all the prizes.
Due to the generosity of our Captain, there were a number of extra
prizes, for details see below.
Roger celebrating his hole-in-one |
There was great excitement in the team of Tony, Chris, Roger and
Marie-Jo as they witnessed Roger shooting a hole-in-one with his 5-wood on hole
14. They then also won the competition. Many congratulations to Roger and the
team. After the general prize giving, we
proceeded to toast Roger with a glass of Cava.
He was presented with the bar bill, but, don't worry, Roger, this comes out of the Society funds.
