Our July Club Championship took place last Saturday at our home course, La Serena, with nearly 70 players and guests joining us on a very warm and humid day. The shotgun start was a great help, allowing everyone to complete the round in under 4 hours and 20 minutes.
A big thank you, as always, to Camillus and Terry for organizing the tee times and overseeing the competition. To make things easier for Camillus, please remember to let him know if you’ll be using a buggy.
We also appreciate the team effort behind the scenes. Thank you to Martha and Jean in the golf shop for submitting our scorecards to the federation.
The kitchen staff deserve a special mention for keeping us well fed with their delicious bocadillos de jamón serrano always a treat! And of course, a big thanks to Vanessa, who greeted us all with her usual warmth and made sure we had drinks to keep us going.
Finally, the greens are responding well to the hot weather. Miguel and his team are doing a fantastic job managing the rapid growth, much appreciated!
