2013: Indiv. Stableford (11.12.)



First and Second
Venue : Bonalba Golf &Spa, Wednesday, 11th December 2013.

Today we played an Individual Stableford competition.  The good weather seemed to have deserted us on this occasion as it was getting colder as the day went on.  This may have reflect the relatively low scores.  Only one player came in with a very good result and that was Gordon.  The course played at 3 shots more difficult, hence Gordon’s handicap will have a big and long overdue cut. It was good to see Edi playing today, after quite some time away and he was in the prizes!

After the prize giving, the Captain announced that it had been decided to make a change in the Society Rules regarding placement of the ball on the fairways.  Due to the present condition of the fairways, the ball can now be placed within a club length of its lie.  This rule applies to the Costa Blanca Society only until further notice.

There were 3 guests playing with us  today. Ray from North East England received the guest prize with 33 points, beating Greta from the Netherlands on the back nine.

Nearest the pins :
Hole 4            Dennis Pyman
Hole 8            Rob Rithie
