Last Saturday we celebrated our July Open Day for 2016 at La Serena. Conditions were extremely hot for golf with glorious sunshine and very high humidity. The weather did not pose a problem for one or two of our players as the scores will attest to. We must thank again the hard working green-keeping staff under the guidance of Wayne the head green keeper for the fine condition of the course.
As always the marshalls and clubhouse staff of John and Jose looked after all our needs and we were set for a great day of golf. The competitions committee under the guidance of Camillus and ably assisted by Philip, Andy and Alisdair have everything running like clockwork, well done Cam and co.
Our captain Bev Ellender was at hand to present our monthly prizes and the lucky winners were as follows; in our Crystal events, we had week one Winner Denis McCormack with 34 points and second Michael Banfield 34 and third Jane Jenkins 33. Week two, winner Wayne Leivars 41 points, second Liam Powell 40points and third Camillus Fitzpatrick with 39. Our monthly medal winners were, Cat II, Gordon McCadden with 73 and Category I, Dave Cosson with a 69.
