Sunday morning we celebrated our August club championship day. Again we had a 9.30am shotgun start and believe it or not we were finished with prize presentations and snack by 14.30.
We can’t say anything about the weather other than it was fantastic for golf with a gentle breeze and 28 degrees. These days do not run themselves and we are indebted to a team of people who all work together to make the event such a success.
The competitions committee under the guidance of Camillus Fitzpatrick and ably assisted by Philip Mountford and Terry Fitzgerald. Thank you and well done. In the golf shop Karolina looked after all our needs and generated our results within minutes of our completion, gracias..

Again well done on the pace of play are really making good progress in relation to slow play with the round of golf taking only four hours to get everyone finished, well done everyone.
Just a few tips, do not wait until it is your turn to play to start your routine, putting on or taking off your glove, marking and cleaning your ball, selecting your club, measuring your distance for your shot etc. all of these can be done in advance and this will help the smooth flow of the game.
We have a waiting list in operation at the moment for membership at La Serena, however membership of The Celts is always available.
