Santana 5th January 2017
Todays game at the Santana was Individual stableford and was sponsored by Jerry Halford. Despite the recent bad weather the course, with the exception of part of the fairway on hole 8 was in its usual superb condition. Well done to Salva and his team. The condition of the course was reflected in the high scores. First today with a superb score of 39 playing of 26.4 cut to 23.9 was Peter McDonald. Second also with 39 points but with a worst back nine playing off 17.1 cut to 15.6 was Tony Anderson and third with 36 points playing off 11.1 cut to 10.6 was Rick Booth. Nearest the pin in one on hole 16 was David Laybourn with Peter McDonald nearest the pin in two on hole 14. Thanks to jerry for the great prizes and to Trish and the girls at the Red Dragon for looking after us. |

Mijas Los Olivos 12th January 2017 Todays game at the Mijas Los Olivos was a "Texas Scramble" and was sponsored by Bill and Pat Giles. We were playing for the much coveted "Scouse Trophy". Actually it is a hub cap from a Ford Galaxy, which if you lived in Liverpool you would know this is a much prized possession. This course together with its sister course Los Lagos suffered substantial flooding the most during the recent storms. We were pleased to say that the staff had done a sterling job to reopen this course. The winning team was Ian Ashworth, Steve Popjoy, Bob Sawyer and Vincent McKenna. Second was Paul Winter, Darren Winter, Terry Smith and John Allan with Norman Tillbrook, Colin Bryan, Dennis Regan and Robyn Wheeler third. There were prizes for nearest in the pin in one on all the par threes. The winners were Phil Ashcroft, Des Hamilton, Robyn Wheeler and Dennis Regan. Thanks to Bill and Pat for the great prizes and the newly painted hub cap, sorry I mean trophy. |
