Where do we start with the superlatives for a truly memorable day? We celebrated our captains’ day, Mr Logan Nayager with a fantastic day of golf at La Serena. The weather was ideal ideal for golf with 25 degrees and a gentle breeze keeping us cool. The golf course again is in excellent condition and we must thank Miguel and his team for their efforts.
The new greens are really coming into their own and the challenging pin positions (Paul) made scoring a real test. To the staff in the pro-shop, Karolina, Bruno and Paul thank you for all your assistance. Our competition committee are doing sterling work with a special thank you to Camillus, Philip and Terry who as always catered for all the members, that is 92 on the day with a shot gun start.
The golf directo app is proving to be an excellent administrative tool and results are generated literally 5 minutes after the last score is returned via the app.
We had our presentation dinner in Meson El Prado in San Miguel. To Juan, Lola and Pilli y los camereros, muchisimo gracias. The food was excellent as always and the service provided by the team is difficult to match. We were entertained by the velvet tones of Simon along with with our very own Jackie.
They performed some of our favourite songs and soon had people dancing the night away. We had 88 appreciative members and guests who attended the dinner. A number of Logan’s family flew in especially from the UK and I would like to thank them and all in attendance for showing their support to Logan.
