Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 21.9.22
This Wednesday was President’s Day. It was good to see a full turn-out of 36 members to compete for the President’s Trophy. We played Single Stableford “with a twist” which did not qualify for the usual Society competitions.
The twist was that the points on every third hole counted double, so par was 48 points. However, some of the double-counting holes had good potential for net birdies and looking at the results, the winners took good advantage of that.
Chris, the overall winner of the President’s Trophy, experienced one of those days of golf when everything was going your way. Many congratulations to Chris and also to the best two players of Division 1 and 2, Ernst, Jan, Ignace and Brian.
To thank everyone who had turned out but were not in the prizes, the President decided to give away 6 raffle prizes.
I would like to thank Richard for his kind words about my Presidency and the presentation of a selection of my favourite tipple, Cava.
After prize giving, 44 members and guests sat down for a very enjoyable tapas lunch on the terrace of Bonalba Club.
