2022: Away Day Alicante Golf (19.1.)

 

Today we played our last Away Day for the 2021 season, sponsored by Bill Williams.

The format was Individual Stableford.  We had a good turn-out of 23 members and 2 guests.

There were some excellent results, especially in Division 2.  The lay-out of Alicante Golf has 6 holes of each par, 3, 4 and 5.  That meant that we had chances of 6 nearest the pin prizes and all of them were taken up.  However, nobody managed a birdie.

 

We were delighted to welcome back our Irish friends Jim and Kate Hurley from a prolonged stay in Ireland.

 

Although there was no prize presentation, some of us stayed behind and enjoyed a drink and a chat on the clubhouse terrace in lovely sunshine.

 

Today’s prizes will be presented next week, together with the presentation of the Annual Prizes which will be followed by a lunch at the Bonalba Club.

 

The summary of today’s competition is as follows:

Nearest the pin:

Hole 3             Ignace Boesmans

Hole 6            Pscale Leroux

Hole 8            Martine Bernois

Hole 12          Martine Bernois

Hole 15          John Garnett

Hole 17          Graham Sutton
