This Wednesday we had the President’s Day Competition with the prizes
being presented at the Dinner on the following Friday, the trophies and prizes
generously sponsored by our Captain Neville Woodfine and his wife Sandra. There was again a full house with 42 members
playing Individual Stableford and some very good results were recorded but one
result stood out especially. Rob Ritchie had a score of 42 points which, at his
playing handicap of 6, meant that he played to scratch. Very well done, Rob, a fantastic
result! However, as players needed to
attend the Dinner to qualify for prizes, Rob unfortunately missed out on a
prize.
Us lesser players were spurned on by looking forward to the refreshments
at half-way house offering delicious pies, quiches and cakes which were made by
Sandra and Heather. Thank you ladies, you are amazing cooks. Thanks also goes
Pauline and Hazel assisting the President at the half-way house.
The Presentation Dinner the following Friday at La
Villa Chinese Restaurant, Campello was well supported with over 60 members and
guests attending. Special mention and thanks go those members who played their
last League Match at Oliva Nova against the French Connection on that day and who managed
to attend the Dinner despite the rush to get back in time. There were happy
faces as by drawing with the French Connection, they secured first place, which
means that they are returning to the First Division. Congratulations to all the participating
members and to John Garnett, our Competition Secretary who organised the teams.
Thank you also to Santi Hung and his team at La Villa
Restaurant for serving us with plenty of delicious Chinese food and drink.
