TORREVIEJA GOLF SOCIETY AT MAR MENOR ON 1ST APRIL

It is disappointing to report that we again experienced an extremely windy day for the latest visit to our home course Mar Menor Village although the saving grace was that the wind this time was warm. So far this year we have had to endure similar windy playing conditions on all but three of our Monday fixtures and it certainly does not make the game any easier!

The course which is usually immaculately maintained was unfortunately not at its best and the greens and tees in particular were very patchy. Scores on the day, unsurprisingly given the difficult conditions, were poor and only 3 players managed to score 30 points or more with the Captain, Dean Charles, continuing his recent excellent form by comfortably winning division 1 in the Stableford Competition albeit with 33 points only. The scores in division 2 by comparison were even more disappointing and all the winners in this category were probably shocked that they featured in the prizes. The winners on the day were:

Category 1: 1st Dean Charles with 33 points.

2nd Charlie Rodgers with 30 points on count back better last 9 holes.

3rd John Edwards with 30 points.

Category 2: 1st Chris Byron with 26 points.

2nd Lyn Hills with 24 points on count back.

3rd James Herbert with 24 points on count back.

Nearest the Pin prizes were won by Peter Flood, Ron Smith (2) and Charlie Rodgers with Ron winning the 2’s prize fund exclusively.

The football card draw was won this week by Charlie Rodgers.

Next week on Monday 8th April we are paying our first visit for many years to Altorreal Golf Club located just north of Murcia on the A30 Albacete highway and members unsure of the directions should refer to the notice posted on the web site.
