Las Ramblas Golf Society – Results for w/c 26.4.21
Just to ring the changes we headed off to La Finca for Monday’s 2 ball better ball competition. Yvonne Phipps did eventually make it to the first tee after a search and rescue party found her locked in the ladies toilet!
Despite the extra length of the course compared to Las Ramblas there were still some very good scores posted. With 41 points and winning on countback were Andy Martin and Donna Campbell. Pipped at the post were Dave Pulling and John Drakesmith whilst in third place, with 40 points, it was Bryan Neal and John Shervell.
There were plenty of prizes up for grabs in Wednesday’s ‘Biggerstaff Bash’ 2 ball better ball. This annual event is played in memory of and named after one of our founder members; Geoff. Our reigning champions, Mark Western and Nigel Price, failed in their efforts to retain the trophy but came in third with a very respectful 45 points.
This year’s winners, with 48 points, were Joyce McClusky and Mike Brentnall. John Shervell was the bridesmaid yet again as, alongside Lindsay Forbes, he was runner up with 46 points. It was the usual suspects cashing in on the nearest the pins. Andy and Andrea Martin got one each and they were joined by Mike Chapman and Ron Phipps.
Thanks to Dee Biggerstaff for the halftime snacks and to Jonnie at Rikikiki’s Bar, La Fuente, for hosting our awards ceremony. (Yes the clubhouse is still closed).
Friday saw us play a 6x6x6 reverse. In teams of four it was three to score on the 1st 6 holes, two on the second 6 and just one on the final 6. As this was the first time we’d played this format our new record score of 90 points went to Graham Murray, Paul Brown, Nora Betts and Mike Chapman.
Just two behind them were Andrea Martin, Yvonne Phipps, Lindsay Forbes and Nigel Price.
Pues hasta la semana que viene
