Venue: Hacienda del Alamo Hotel and Spa Golf Resort
What a great venue for our June 26th outing. The morning started out rather cloudy and overcast, but after a few hours things soon brightened up.
Geoff Sharp had new society shirts to distribute among members which prompted a few new orders, followed by a debate as to what size was best.
The course was in great condition. A good many members were playing this course for the first time, so there were a few nerves on the first tee. There were 24 players which was a good turnout. The scoring format was Stableford Full Handicaps.
The Overall Winner with a score of 33 points was Jim Niblo, closely followed by John Charlesworth on 30 and John Brown on 29.
Nearest the Pin on the 8th was won by John Brown. No-one got near the green on the 15th.
We hadn’t played at Hacienda for some time. However this has to be one of the most challenging courses around and we cannot wait to return. After some liquid refreshment in the clubhouse the prize giving commenced as our end of year dinner and cup presentation was cancelled last year. Not only were the prizes for the day awarded, but the trophies were also awarded for last year.
The prestigious engraved SDTM cups were awarded as follows and presented by Geoff Sharp:
January – Ian Stewart
February – Roger Joy
March – Steve Parsons
April – Steve Parsons
May – Glen Nicholson
June – Wyn Griffiths
July – Paul Bartley
August – Paul Alsop
September – Ian Stewart/Jim Niblo
October – Jim Niblo
November – cancelled
December – Geoff Sharp
There was a golf match held at Condado de Alhama on 24th July – report next month and the August game will be on 28th at Lorca. We are always pleased to welcome guests so don’t hesitate to get your friends along to play. If you interested to join our society then contact Geoff Sharp on hatter45@msn.com
