Santana Golf 24 November 2022
Last Thursday we played at Santana kindly sponsored by Larry Byrne and was the Medal finals day with the Gross and Net champions being crowned.
Those in the final all played in handicap order and both comps were closely fought on a glorious sunny and warm day.
In the gross category the winner retaining his title was Simon Waby no thanks to a great start of 4 birdies in the first 6 holes.
The Net category was a very close affair with a back 9 countback needed and by 1 shot Larry Byrne won from Ian McCarthy.
There was also a normal medal comp being played by everyone including the finalists, which was the first qualifier for the 2023 finals day.
The gross comp was won by Simon again with the Net comp won by Don Crowley.
Congratulations to all the winners, with Simon and Don through to next year's final.
Afterwards, the presentation was done up at Santana requested by Bob Sawyer as he wanted to share the news and celebrate with everyone that a couple of days before that he and Svitlana had got married down in Gibraltar, so there was tapas and drinks laid on and also a wedding cake, congratulations to you both from all the society.
