We celebrated our last Championship Day at La Serena last Sunday. It was a breezy day which added to the degree of difficulty for one or two of the holes. The green-keeping staff headed by Miguel and his team have to be congratulated on their ongoing course maintenance. The staff in the pro-shop have everything working like a well-oiled machine, thanks are due to Bruno, Jean, and Karolina for their professionalism. Again, to Camillus, Philip, and Terry, I am running out of superlatives, keep up the good work, it really is appreciated by the members and guests who literally just turn up on the day and enjoy their golf. A special thanks to all those who stayed back to show their appreciation of the hard work carried out on their behalf and to recognise the winners who were present to collect their prizes.
