Marbella GCC 29th September 2022
Thursday we played at Marbella golf club and the day was kindly sponsored by Julie and Sheelagh.
With finally the summer temperatures starting to slightly cool off it was a much more pleasant day to play golf in.
The course was in excellent condition with some tricky greens and this showed In the winning scores which were relatively low with only 3 points separating the top 7 players.
It was also a sad day for the society and the Red Dragon as it was Mandy's last day working at the dragon as she is moving onto pastures new soon and deservedly was given a great send off from everyone there which I've heard went on till quite late . On behalf of the society and the Red Dragon we all wish you the best in the future .
