Stan Boyles Memorial Trophy at Saurines 18th March.

35 players took part in an individual Stableford Competition for the inaugural playing of the Stan Boyles Memorial Trophy at the Nicklaus designed Saurines desert course near Roldan. Stan Boyles, a very popular member of our Society, passed away in March 2012 following a serious respiratory illness and it was decided to perpetuate his memory by playing annually in future for a trophy named in his honour.

We were fortunate to enjoy a beautifully sunny day for this event and the course was in its usual immaculate condition although the severely undulating greens caused many putting problems for a number of our players. The first winner of the splendid trophy was David “Charlie” Rodgers who scored an excellent 38 points to beat our Captain, Dean Charles, who showed a welcomed return to form by scoring a highly creditable 36 points. The full list of winners on the day were:

Category 1: 1st David Rodgers with 38 points.
2nd Ron Beales with 34 points.
3rd Ron Davis with 31 points on count back over last 9 holes.
Sonny Edling and Sheila Aston also scored 31 points in this category.

Category 2: 1st Dean Charles with 36 points.
2nd Roy Aston with 35 points.
3rd Marianne Hunt with 31 points on count back.
John Saunders, Roy Welburn and Rita East also scored 31 points in this category.

Nearest the Pin prizes were won by Sonny Edling (2), Geoff Branton, Roy Welburn and Geoff Walters. The 2’s prize fund was shared by Geoff Branton, John Connolly and Sheila Aston with Sheila recording two 2’s to receive a double share.

Next week on Monday 25th March we will be playing at Vistabella with a first tee time of 9.00am and members should check their tee times by accessing the web site or referring to the notice board in the Portobello Bar in Campoverde.
