Venue: Villaitana Poniente
Course, 29 August 2018
For our Bill Williams Away Day Trophy, we went today to Villaitana Golf
to play on their Poniente Course which is the shorter of the two courses
consisting only of par 3 and 4’s. We
were very happy to use buggies rather than walk, not only because of the hot
weather but also as the course, although fairly short, is quite mountainous and
we were able to enjoy the beautiful views from the comfort of the buggies.
We had an attendance of 25 members and one guest playing Individual
Stableford. This was the first occasion
when the booking through the Master Scoreboard was implemented and the flights
were drawn randomly by the Computer. To
the delight of the Captain, this worked out very well as it only required a few
little “tweaks” to accommodate guests etc. and will in future reduce her
workload prior to the competitions.
Because Poniente has a par rating of 62, our playing handicaps were
reduced considerably which, looking at the results, were well justified. There
were some excellent scores being posted as can be seen below. This course required a good short game and
Jan, today’s winner, demonstrated this with great success. Congratulations to Jan and also to Helmut,
Nino, Angel and Graham for very good results.
Summarizing the results:
Wendy Wakely, our one guest, duly won the guest prize.

Hole 11 Stan Tarabula
Hole 14 Nino
