What a lovely, warm and sunny start to our sixth Eclectic game at Vistabella today. The ever present breeze was welcome in the heat. The course, being very popular, was in good condition but the high footfall was evident on the greens.
The grounds staff have no mean feat keeping the course to the standard it is. Mind you, the pin positions were pretty brutal!
43 members and one guest joined us today – a few cancellations due to various reasons which was strange not to field a full complement at this lovely course. We have also included a photograph from the Prostate Cancer UK Charity Day which was held here on 17th May.
We finally got to present a “cheque” to Richard Morgans (NoGrow, Cabo Roig) and John Brownless for €770 (€550 raffle, €60 Norman McBride’s funeral and €200 Blob Tin) – both did a stellar job of organising an amazing day – thank you.
No amazing scores today (e.g. over 40!) but nothing too shabby at all:
Gold: Greame Millington (39 points and best score of the day)
Silver: Red McAuliffe (38 points)
Bronze: Lee Eastman (38 points)
Nearest the Pins this week were Dave Blinston, John Osbourne, Andrew Jones and Lee Eastman. Two may Twos this week!! John Batterby, Drew Niblock, Denis Ryan, Dave Blinston and two by CAPTAIN Lee Eastman! Well done guys.
The football card was won by John Osborne with Wolves – no real surprise there and only the Secretary took pity and left Wolves for him until he came back from his car! The “McBride Bottle” was happily received by Brian Fairbrother. The presentation was held at Flannigan’s in Entre Naranjas – thank you to the team there for their service.
Next week we are at Villamartín – another popular course.
