What a fantastic turnout for our July championship. We had 85 players all geared and ready for the off with a 9am shot gun start. Again the competitions committee of Camillus, Philip and Terry were well prepared and players simply had to turn up, follow the instructions and walk to their allocated tee.
Jean in the pro-shop as ever generated our results efficiently and in a very timely manner. Enhorabuena a Vanessa and Mari Jose who coped admirably, providing all our members with snacks and chilled refreshments, muchos gracias. After the recent hollow tining the greens are improving daily, congratulations Miguel and your team on your dedication and professionalism.
If the condition of the course can be related to scores returned, then with 25 players equally or bettering par on a very difficult day demonstrates how well the course was presented for our tournament.
Prizes awarded on the day were as follows, nearest the pins, Pat Coyne, Pavla Serakova, Alan Ewing, Jim Hayes and Peter Dunne. Category III, what a performance from the higher handicapped group, returning the overall winner and runner-up on the day.
1st in Cat III, Rose Walker 38, 2nd Michael Sephton 38 and 3rd Logan Nayager 38. Cat II, 1st Peter Dunne 38, 2nd Theo Boelhouwer 38 and 3rd Terry Lewis 38.
