Our game for June was on the 29th and was to the Province of Almeria and the course known as Desert Springs. With parts of the course resembling the old wild west, many players found the going tough with long carries off the tees and some very narrow and tight fairways, resulting in lower than normal scoring.
Our overall winner on the day was Mark Palmer with 33 points which also gave him first place in Division One, with Mick Shea, paying a rare visit to this division, in second place with 32 points.
In Division Two, Gary Ahearne took first prize with 28 points closely followed by Phil Leeming with 27 points.
Meanwhile in Division Three, Alan Wheeldon was in top spot with 25 points with Des Locke as runner-up with 24 points.
Nine players won Nearest the Pin prizes in our revised competition and 5 players shared the two‘s money pot.
Our next game is on August 25th at La Serena. If anyone wants to know more about FOGGS, please contact us.
