A chilly morning greeted 27 members of the La Marina Golf Society, for the start of their “Captians Day” day of golf at the El Plantio Golf Course. A shotgun start on the Par 3, 9 hole course started off the day, followed by a light snack, then the members moved on to the 18 hole course.
The weather soon warmed up and a most enjoyable day was had by all.
Later in the evening the players and guests enjoyed an excellent meal at the La Marina Sports Complex and the presentation of the day’s winners were announced and presented by Eileen Honey, whose late husband Roger was a founder member.
The winner of the Par 3, 9 hole course was Frank Cullen with 20 points, the 18 hole course had joint players, Lyn Young and Dave Slightham, with 31 points each, however, on countback Lyn Young was deemed the winner.
Not too disappointed Dave did win the two’s pot.
We also had nearest the pin winners, who were, Gill Ludkiewicz on holes 7 and 14, Dave Slightham on hole 9 and Elspeth Craig on hole 18.
In an effort to raise funds for the Poppy Appeal, the members donated money for each time they landed in bunkers or the water, and during the evening we held a raffle, whereby we raised around 200 euro for the appeal.
