We played our most recent Open Day at La Serena last Saturday. Weather conditions were ideal when we began the round but became more challenging as the round progressed as witnessed by the scoring.
The golf course was as is the custom presented to a very high standard and again we must thank Wayne and his team for their efforts. To the staff in the pro-shop thank you, Jose and Karolina for preparing the cards and the results. Our competition committee are doing sterling work thank you Camillus and Philip.
Can players please return their cards as soon as possible to the shop on the open days so that they can generate the results. If you fail to return your card to the pro-shop you cannot have your handicap adjusted when the scores are sent to Madrid.
