Parador 29th December 2016 Today at the Parador a small band of members played our last game of the year. It was Individual stableford. Unforntunatly due to the recent heavy rains and flooding the course was not in its usual superb condition. However the greens were perfect and very fast which caught many of us out. First today with a score of only 30 points playing off 15.3 cut to 14.3 was our amiable landlord Andy "Marigold" Hassall. Andy goes forward to the "Champion of Champions" final in May. Second with 29 points playing off 11.5 cut to 11 was Dave Robertson. Third also with 29 points but with a worse back nine playing off 19.7 cut to 19.4 was Ian "Aye Say" Ashworth. Nearest the pin in one on hole 13 was Bob Sawyer with Tony Anderson nearest the pin in two on hole 4 Our guest prize went to Garry Sparrow. A fine end to the year back at the Red Dragon with plenty of banter and drink. Calanova 22nd December 2016

Well done to everyone for getting into the Christmas spirit, it made for a fun day. Despite the terrible flooding in the Mijas valley with the exception of hole eight the course was in its usual great condition. This was borne out by the very high scores.

Today’s game at La Cala was Individual stableford and was sposored by Peter and Pauline Bull. We started the day with tea/coffee and pastries in the sun at the club house. But unfortunatly the weather very quickly deteriated. The day turned into the worst weather conditions we have played in so far this year. In fact toward the end of the game some us were caught in a rain storm, Despite the weather it did not stop us enjoying the day. As you would expect after the monsoon weather over the weekend the fairways were not in the best of condition. However I have to say the greens were first class. Despite the conditions there were some quite high scores. Our winner today scoring a great 38 points was Linda Walker playing off 25.2 cut to 23. Second also with 38 points but with a worse back nine was Steve Popjoy playing off 15.7 cut to 14.4. Third with 35 points was Jerry Halford playing off 5.7 cut to 5.3.

Thanks to Peter and Pauline for the great prizes and the team at the Red Dragon for keeping us fed and watererd. |
