2016: Team Game (20.4.)

1st, 2nd and 3rd

Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 20^th April 2016

We had a full house of 35 members and 4 guests for today’s Team Game which consisted of the best two Stableford scores on the front 9 and the best three scores on the back 9 and, in addition, there was a prize for the best overall Individual Stableford score. 

 

The other players were not quite sure what to make of the all-girls team as  they had decided to add a touch of glamour to the proceedings and turned up wearing very colourful wigs which gave rise to comments of “The Spice Girls are back” and not so favourable “The Witches of Bonalba”.  Having said that, the girls had something to prove and so they did, by being in the prizes and securing runner-up position.
At the prize giving they somewhat stole the show to the detriment of the actual winners Richard, Chris, Peter and Neville who came in with a magnificent score of two under par. Very well done!  They tried to pinch the girls’ wigs for the winners’ photograph.  Hey guys, get your own!
Special  congratulations go to Jan, our Captain and one of the “witches”, who secured the individual Stableford prize with an impressive score.

Before today's prize giving, the Captain took the opportunity to remind everyone that next week will be “President’s Day” and the prize giving for this will take place at the Presidents Dinner on Friday, 29^th April.

We were happy to welcome our new members Eddie Fagg and Klaudia Martinez and are saying good-bye to Jan van Spellen and his wife Thea who are returning to The Netherlands for the summer season.
