on the 9th it was umbrellas up…………….
.
This week we had only 31 players, maybe a combination of the weather, the format or a lack of visitors on site. The weather indeed, was not kind, with a couple of heavy showers in the middle of the round making the golfers contemplate an early return to the bar. However, the majority completed and put in their scorecards with 6 playing to their handicap or better.

and Kam was also on the podium again……….

Well done Phil Mather who won the wooden spoon with 15 points on his last outing, now on the podium! Also it looks like Peter Beatt’s lessons at Hacienda del Alamo have paid off, winner two weeks running! Not everyone had a good day, however.
Mick Parsons had an enormous slice of luck on hole 10 (which most players would say should be stroke one). His topped drive skimmed across the lake with 3 bounces, and somehow finished on the top of the banking just in bounds. There his luck ended though, with an awful stance on the bank he pulled his next into the middle of the lake (justice?). From there it did not get better – below see him playing his 8th shot from the fairway bunker from an impossible lie. Needless to say, the shot finished back in the bottom of the bunker. Credit to Mick though, he managed to single putt for an 11!
.
now how do you play this one especially when it is your eighth shot?………….

At the prize giving a special presentation was made to two lovely people, Doreen and Christine who have been making the sandwiches every Friday, which Lynne and Neil provide free of charge.

.
Doreen and Christine went on stage to Neil playing the song Land of Hope and Glory, they are known as the WI girls, the ration girls , but every Friday without fail they come to work to make the sandwiches. Someone asked Doreen tonight if she will make her own sandwiches at her 90th party next year. Not to be missed.
Next week is a 4 person team event with 3 scores to count at each hole. Just a reminder that on December 19th there will be a Christmas competition, where every player should bring a wrapped present (value at least 5 euros) – everyone wins!

She collects the winnings and her clothes, hugs the dealers and disappears.
