This month’s competition was held at Alicante Golf a week earlier than normal due to complications at the course. Nevertheless the weather seemed to have given us a break with some sunshine in a chilly 11 degrees. The course was in excellent condition and the greens were quick but due to the low temperatures still we are not seeing the high scores from the Gold division.
First tee was at 10.50 with 12 players and at the end of the day everybody journeyed back to the Club House at The Club in Quesada. Although it was cold out of the sun everybody said they enjoyed their day. Again for the second month in succession John Dodds managed to make the winner’s rostrum, congratulations. There were some close contenders but nevertheless he kept his first place as you will see from the results below.
We had one humorous occasion when Kevin Williams played his ball onto the green, a duck picked it up and ran away with it. The duck dropped it so a seagull decided to get into the act as well and he took it to the other side of the course. It was declared a lost ball.
Our thanks to our hosts John and Carolyn and the staff at The Club for an excellent buffet once again.
