28 golfers made the short trip from Lomas de Cabo Roig to La Finca on a sunny and warm January morning (25 degrees later on!!). The course was playing tough with some strong winds at times along with the notoriously long holes which make up La Finca.
Scoring was generally in the high 20’s to low 30’s but one player towered above the rest to score an impressive 41 points, Wayne Stevenson.

- 1st Place – Wayne Stevenson (41 Points) – €30 Lucky Lion voucher
- 2nd Place – Mike Fitzpatrick (34 Points) – €20 Lucky Lion voucher

Nigel Hardy, the PGA teaching pro at Lo Romero golf, has kindly offered to sponsor our Captain, Gary Armstrong, with a voucher for a free lesson at Lo Romero golf. This was presented to the overall winner, Wayne Stevenson, along with a 2-stroke handicap cut.
The captain’s chosen charity for 2023 was Help at Home. An anonymous member of AGS doubled the funds raised by the Charity Rep during 2023. During 2023, AGS members raised an incredible €3527.00 for Help at Home with the help of the anonymous donation. Many thanks go to Sam Udell our charity member for her hard work this year. The captain’s chosen charity for 2024 remains Help at Home.
Many thanks go to Michael, Annoushka and the staff of the Lucky Lion for their continued support. The Lucky Lion have increased their sponsorship of AGS in 2024 by sponsoring one of the nearest the pin vouchers, alongside the prizes for the top 4 players and the food after the game back at the Lucky Lion.
AGS at the Lucky Lion welcome new members of all abilities. If you wish to join AGS, or even play as a guest, you can contact the Secretary by email, Alfiesgolfsociety@gmail.com
