Venue : Bonalba Golf &Spa, Wednesday, 14 May 2014.
Today we played the May Medal. This competition was also nominated for the Ford Leagues Qualifier. We had sponsorship for two extra prizes, the mens’ and ladies’ longest drive. The morning started out with thick black rain clouds threatening to spoil the game and we did have some light rain earlier on but luckily it did not last very long and the weather improved for the remainder of the competiton. There were 30 players competing for the Medal and one guest. Congratulations go to Helmut who won with a net 3 under par. Apart from the medal prize he was also presented with a bottle of Moet champagne. This year Luc and Robert very generously are sponsoring an additonal medal prize which is presented on the day of the competition and which is either a bottle of Champagne or a box of Belgian chocolates. Well done also to Michael Davison for consistent medal play. He came second this month after having won the April medal.At the prize giving Richard gave us an update on Edi’s situation. His operation will be next Monday, when quite a few of us will be on our annual Away Trip. Our thoughts and best wishes go to him and his family.
After every Monthly Medal, the Captain arranges a lunch for members and guests. This time we went to the Chinese Restaurant La Villa in El Campello, where we were all enjoying an excellent meal. During lunch, the Captain took the opportunity to present Jean-Jacques Lavergne with a bottle of wine to thank him for his efforts in helping us with our website.
