Away Trip 2019


This year our Annual Away Trip took us to the Mar Menor.  We were 23 golfers and 5 non-golfers.  We stayed at the Hotel Costa Narejos in Los Alcázares and played at La Roda and La Romero. 

On day 1 at La Roda we played a team game counting the best three Stableford scores on each hole.  This gave us the chance to get to know the course, ready for day 3 when we would play Individual Stableford.  The winning team was Tony Dewavrin, Pascal Guy, Jean-Paul Leroux and Gordon Burton.
On day 2 it was the ever popular La Romero Golf Course which had also been the destination of some of our Away Days in the past.  Here we played one of the two Individual Stableford rounds.  The main prizes on this day went to Jean-Paul , best man with 39 points and Pascal Guy, second with 35 points.  The best two Ladies were Marie-Jo and Jan, both with 36 points.
Day 3 saw us back at La Roda for the second round of Individual Stableford.  Best man was Tony with 36 points and Ray, second with 34 points.  Best Lady was again Marie-Jo with 34 points and Jan coming second with 33 points.

Among many other prizes, there were also prizes for the two best overall man and lady players of Day 2 and 3.   As Ray, Tony, Marie-Jo and Jan were the winners and runners up of this category and also in the prizes of  the individual competition on Day 3, it was decided to award prizes for 3rd and 4th place  on day 3 at La Roda.  Of the men, Eric Pages came 3rd with 33 points and Pierre was 4th with 32 points.  Third best lady was Doris with 27 points and Heidi came 4th with 26 points.

We all had a great time enjoying each others company, on and off the golf course.  Everybody enjoyed playing on these two courses, the hotel accommodation was good and the weather also played its part to make it a very successful trip.  See also the photos in the “Gallery”.
