We celebrated our April Championship Day at La Serena yesterday. The weather was fantastic with 28 degrees of sunshine, with a stiff breeze to add to the challenge. The green-keeping staff have to be congratulated for their ongoing course maintenance, with the new drainage projects almost completed. Well done Miguel and all your team. The staff in the pro-shop have everything working like a well-oiled machine, thanks are due to Bruno, Jean, Jose and Karolina for all of their assistance. Again, to Camillus, Alan and Terry, I am running out of superlatives, keep up the good work. I must congratulate Denis for the array of prizes he has managed to acquire for the members. The efforts of the team on the day is appreciated by the members and guests who literally have to turn up and enjoy their golf. To Gloria, Mari-Jose and Arrancha for the delicious bocadillos muchas gracias.
