We celebrated our August Open Day last Saturday at La Serena. The conditions as is the norm for this time of the year were extremely hot for golf with glorious sunshine and very high humidity. As always, the clubhouse staff of Jean and Paul looked after all our needs and we were set for a great day of golf with a shot gun start at 9am. A very special mention must go to Philip for all is hard work and to Alisdair for his assistance of the days event.
In contrast to last months’ competition we had little or no delays on the course and Jean in the shop generated the results for us within 10 minutes. Excellent work all round.
