Our 11th President’s prize was celebrated yesterday at our home course of La Serena.
We had a field of 92 players participating and a good day was had by all. The course is in fantastic condition and playing from the whites made it that bit more challenging. Many thanks to Miguel, Bruno, Vanessa and team, Karolina, Paul and Michael for all your help on the day.
To Camillus and his assistants, you made it look like a seamless operation even when the app had a nap, coupled with Terry falling ill with Covid and Philip could not make it on the day.
To Denis for his organisational skills and making sure our evening entertainment and dinner was all that we have come to expect from Meson El Prado, well done. To Rain our singer many thanks for the evening, it was a pity that it had to be cut short on the evening.
The results of the day were as follows. NTP’s Mike Stott (2), Gary Conroy, Jean Randell, TomConway and Philip Vaughan. Cat IV, Steve Formby 36, Niall Murray 33 and Lynn McCormack 33. Cat III, Felix Mallon 32, Tom Conway 30 and Bev Buckley 29.
Cat II Steve Hopkins 35, Karl DiMasio 35 and Alex McIntyre 31. Cat I,John O’Brien 34, Mike Stott 33 and Pauval Serakova 33. The gross was won by Bob Smith with 33 gross points, well done Bob, great to see you in the winning circle again.
