2020: Indiv. Stableford SQ (1.7.)


The Captain with a lot of wine

Today we re-started our qualifying competitions.  We played Individual Stableford which qualified for all Society competitions but not for handicap adjustments.  Those of us who are members of the Spanish Golf Federation played off our newly adjusted Worldwide Handicap which, in the majority of cases, was adjusted upwards.  The summer season and Corona travel restrictions mean that our attendance figures are on the low side. Today we had 24 members taking part.  We welcome back Dave Tomlins, who braved the flight back to Spain.  He is the first member back from the UK after the lock-down, and coming second today, continued where he left off playing good golf.

Luc celebrating his win

 Congratulations also to Doris, Eddie Fagg and Chris for a good round of golf, with Chris beating Jan and Stan on the back 9 who also had 33 points.  And a special round of applause to Luc Verhaegen, our winner today.  We gave a special welcome to his wife Marleen, who joined us after the golf.  We wish her the very best for her operation next week.

 



After golf, we assembled on the clubhouse terrace to receive our prizes for all the competitions after lock-down.  Under the “New Normality” rules, there was, unfortunately, no kissing or handshakes.  However, to celebrate the occasion, we were treated to some tapas, sponsored from Society funds.
