Las Ramblas Golf Society – Results for w/c 15.3.21
Monday saw us play the ‘original’ Counter Game. This is the one where you find out how many scores are to count only after the hole has been played.
With 99 points it was Ron Luffman, Nora Betts, Ron Phipps and ‘Albert’ who took to the winner’s podium. Nine points behind them were John & Ellen Drakesmith, Mike Mahony and Joyce McClusky.
Our first ‘Major’ of the year, the Caja Murcia Trophy, was competed for on Wednesday. This magnificent trophy was donated to us by the bank of that name twenty years ago.
Las Ramblas GS. Hot on her heels, with 40 points, it was Pat Cassidy followed by John Drakesmith with 37. Having achieved 18 points on the first seven holes I felt I could have been in contention.
However, the wheels came off in a dramatic fashion and I finished last with a total of just 25 points! Three ‘2’s today going to Mike Chapman, Paul Brown and Pat Cassidy.
It was down to the final wire for Friday’s best 2 from 4 and all to count on the par 5’s. With two teams coming in with 95 points it was Ron Phipps, Olga Douglas, Dave Pulling and Reg Akehurst who, after countback, took first place. Just missing out were Andy Martin, Benedicte Kruse, John Dobson and Mike Chapman.
Por ultimo, Mike Mahony says to his caddy, ‘What do you think of my game?’ to which caddy replies ‘it’s very good but personally I prefer golf’.
Pues hasta la semana que viene
