The members of Celts Club de Golf celebrated our first Championship game after the loosening of the Covid restrictions yesterday at La Serena. We had a fine turnout of 79 players, all following the Covid guidelines I might add.

The new greens are really taking shape and bedding down nicely. They are not a year in place yet and you can see the fantastic progress that the team at La Serena have made during this very difficult times. Enhorabuena Miguel, Bruno and Jean. We were catered for very well by Vanessa, Fina and Julio upstairs. Gracias.

Our competition committee are doing sterling work thanks to Captain Camillus, Terry, Alan and Philip.  We had a shotgun start and everybody had left for home before 15.00, the way to go me thinks. I would like to thank all those who were present to collect their prizes. We only had one imposter, Chris of the vino and a NTP…

Down to the results of the day.  NTP’s Colin Soones, Terry Fitzgerald, Grenville Heeley, Alan Campbell and Fred Beel..
