Definitely not on the forecast that little spattering of rain and rather grey clouds this morning at the beautiful La Finca. It didn’t last long as everybody teed off in nice dry weather – although that secondary cut was very impeding due to its lushness (i.e., your ball got stuck and went nowhere which I personally can attest to!).
The course generally was in very good condition, fast greens and lush fairways (when you were on them and not experiencing the lushness adjacent…). Lots of changes to various holes afoot at La Finca due to health and safety issues for local residences.
Back to the Corner Flag for refreshments which were welcome, from Danny, Caoimhe and the team. Thank you for your hospitality and thanks to all at La Finca for their continued support and excellence.
Now, to the matter in hand from 37 members and 11 guests this week:
Gold: Darren Hancock (37 pts and best score of the day – well done)
Silver: Lee Eastman (32 pts)
Bronze: Mick Roscoe (35 pts)
The “Twos” was quartered by Darren Hancock (3), Phil de Lacy (9), Roddy Duncan (13) and Mick Roscoe (13 also). Nearest the Pins this week from Darren Hancock (3), Hamilton Shields (6), Mark Pryke (13) and Darren Strugnell (16).
Nigel Wilks won the football card with Reading and we had a couple of best guests this week with Colin Fawcett (32 pts), Richard Howard (31) and Steve Reeves (29 pts) winning a lovely sleeve of San Miguel golf balls.
Peter Mannion will be happier after he has imbibed his “McBride Bottle” for his slightly-not-so-good score.
Back down to Lo Romero next week which should be lovely.
