Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa
This Wednesday we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day, a yearly competition sponsored very generously by our Irish friends, Jim and Kate Hurley.
As always, it was a fun day enjoyed by 32 members and 2 guests. The format was a qualifying Individual Stableford. There were lots of prizes. The main competition counted for members only, but the other prizes were open to everyone.
Kate with 36 points came 2nd in the Ladies’ competition, but as a sponsor, decided not to claim the prize.
The weather was reasonably kind to us. Although there was some wind, the temperatures stayed quite pleasant.
After golf, members and guests attended an Irish themed lunch in the Club restaurant, during which the prizes were presented.
See photos in the blog Gallery.
