2018: President's Day 4 Clubs and a Putter (26.9.)


 Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 26 September 2018

32 members and 7 guests were delighted to take part in this year’s President’s Day. Neville, our President, decided to give us a bit of a different challenge in choosing the format of 4 clubs and a putter.  This format seemed to suit some of the players as their selection of clubs enabled them to score well.  However, there was a chance that your choice of clubs did not serve you well and therefore the President decided to also award a consolation prize for the player who had the most trouble.
There were an abundance of prizes sponsored by our President Neville but even if you were not in the prizes, we were all in for a treat at half-way house enjoying the delicious savouries and cakes provided by Sandra and Heather and ably assisted by Pauline.


The prize giving took place in the Club House where we were treated by Neville and Sandra to a glass or two of Cava and we gave a toast to our President and his wife thanking them for their continued support and generosity and wish them well.
We finished the afternoon with a very enjoyable meal at the Restaurant Els Foguers de Pablo in El Campello.
