La Cala - Asia 12th May 2022
This week we played the Asia course at La Cala golf kindly sponsored by Phil Ginn
Unfortunately, La Cala had carried out maintenance work on the greens, they hadn't recovered properly when we played, it was certainly a challenge trying to putt on them.
After only 3 holes in the 2nd group out there was an almighty cheer went up and it was Bob Sawyer and his boisterous playing partners cheering his 2nd ever hole in 1! It was also the nearest the pin in 1 hole! It was a great hole to get it on as Bob himself chose it as the nearest in 1 hole.
At the presentation Bob was presented with his hole in 1 trophy and flashed his wallet to buy everyone a drink.
