After the cold windy day at Villaitana last week we thought we´d escaped the wintry conditions however we all turned up fully waterproofed for what was forecast to be the wettest day of the year. Fortunately the heavy rain didn´t materialise and the back 9 was played in pleasant conditions. The recent rains have done wonders for the course though and it is now much greener and lush.
Our Captain, Angel had arranged a version of the Yellow Ball team game with alternate double scores for one player on each hole. Despite some very clear instructions this proved too much for some of our members who have just got used to the stableford system! Anyway as usual we enjoyed the competitive team spirit and some very good scores were posted.
We had 7 teams of 4 competing including 2 guests John and Anne Brook.

The Captain expressed his concern that some members were still not entering their names on the competition lists. It´s not difficult to walk down the stairs and write your name on the lists for the next month therefore please make the effort and support your Captain!
On a final note we´ve all noticed the absence of our Laughing Dutchman Chris Van Bemmelen. He´s playing Floris Nightingale to his wife Lillian who is recovering from major surgery. We all wish Lillian a speedy recovery and on your behalf we have sent her a bunch of flowers to remind them they are in all our thoughts.
