2021: Texas Scramble (11.8.)


Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa, 11.8.

 

Today we had 5 teams of 4, playing Texas Scramble.  Each player had to make 4 drives.  This team game was a welcome change from the Singles competitions, as the demands on the individual player to play well on each hole was not so great and therefore made the golf a bit more relaxing, which was very welcome in the very hot and humid weather conditions.

First place was hotly contested, as there was only 0.1 point difference between first and second place.  Congratulations to all the winning teams.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY


We also toasted Stan and Greta, wishing them a belated Very Happy  Birthday.  Stan’s birthday was on Monday and Greta’s on Tuesday.  Together  they treated us to cava and tapas, which was very much appreciated and a sparkling time was had by all who stayed behind for the prize presentation.
