Los Nietos Golf Society sojourned to the Vistabella course for the February outing and yet again we were blessed with superb weather, even if the UK was battling with ice and snow!
We tried a new format this time, to bring a little more flavour to the game – it was a team game of four ball Shambles with a yellow ball on all 4 par three holes. Each member had to take one of the par 3’s and any resulting score was doubled and added to the final score. If you ever lost the ball and whenever, that was it; any remaining par 3 holes were lost for a potential double score! The number of drives allocated was 5 each for 3 players and the highest handicap had to make 2 drives.
The captain is a hard man and am sure he lies awake at night dreaming up another gem for us!
