- MAR MENOR – Thursday, 26th May 2022
28 members played in our President’s Day match at Mar Menor. The weather was much improved from last month’s wet weather at the same course. It was sunny and warm with a light breeze, keeping the temperature at a near perfect level for a great day’s golf. The fairways and greens were in great condition and good golf was enjoyed by many members.
The Blind Pairs was won by Ian Stones and Bernie Stones, both returning their €5 cash prize to the charity fund, so thank you both for that. Thanks also to Richard Watson, who won €20 on the football card and donated to the charity fund. The Captain’s chosen charity is Help at Home, and the fund currently stands at €758.95.
