2024: St. Andrew's Day Stapleford (27.11.)



Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa, 27.11.24

 

Today we played the St. Andrew’s Day competition, generously sponsored by our Scottish friends Derek and Karen Cruickshank.  The format was Individual Stableford and 21 members and 3 guests were competing.

We were all very well looked after by Derek and Karen. To get us going, we were offered a “wee dram” and were given a drink and some Scottish biscuits to see us off. Then, at half-way house, we had some coffee and cakes, provided by Hazel Sutton, Heather Davison and Karen Davis.

There were prizes galore, and to follow the prize giving, a big raffle for all participants.

 

Looking at the results of the Stableford competition, the Division 1 players especially came in with some excellent results.  Marcel Barink, with 38 points wasn’t even in the prizes.

 

We were asked to enter into the spirit of the occasion by wearing something appropriate.  Some players certainly did that. Santi Hung received the prize for “best dressed” man and Pascale Leroux for the ladies.

 

Congratulations to all winners today and a big thank you to Derek and Karen for their generosity and organisation of such a wonderful day, which was appreciated by all.
