24 members and guests from Alfie’s GS travelled to Villamartin GC for the first meeting of the year on January 25th. It was the first venue of our new captain Ian Ingledew. As always Alfies’s support a charity for the year chosen by the captain and Ian’s chosen charity this year is Prostate Cancer UK.
The weather was chilly. The course was ok but the tees were all at the back making it a challenge. The presentation was held back at Alfies’s bar where a buffet was enjoyed by all the players. This year it was decided at the AGM that we would divide the society into 2 categories based on players handicaps “GOLD” & “SILVER”
Our winner of the day in the silver division was Peter Golder with 36 stableford points
Second went to Luke Branch with 29 stableford points decided on count back.
The Winner of the gold division was Ian Connell with 31 stableford points. Second place went to Alistair Quinn with 29 points.
