Just a couple of photos of players not usually pictured here…………………..

Michael Robinson is an infrequent golfer, but could be really good with regular golf……

bad luck for Jim Rowley who after losing his first ball was left with a long way to the 14th green with his 4th shot…………………………

Next week is ladies day sponsored by Jeff and Jan (Condado Club), and any lady who is NOT a golfer is welcome to join other similar golfing widows in a putting competition on the practice green. Just turn up about 1.30 and enjoy yourselves – followed by cava and nibbles……

Sad news about a Saurines society member – information below…………..
Apologies to be the bearer of some very sad news, but I have to inform you that Club 25 Society member and good friend Andrew Duffy suffered , although yet unconfirmed, what seems to have been a massive heart attack whilst playing with our Society at Mar Menor yesterday morning, Sunday 3rd September.
Despite every attempt to revive him by members and ambulance crews we were unable to save him.
Club 25 are deeply saddened by this sudden and unexpected passing of Andy, he passed away playing the game he truly loved. All our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Mary, his children Rachel, Dominic and Aidan, and his family as this very sad time.
Andy was a cheerful, easy going family oriented person, a keen Tottenham fan, who got on very well with all the people in our society, he will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Andy’s service is likely to be at a local Crematorium this Wednesday or Thursday, however, I will let you know the confirmed details as soon as I have them.
RIP Andy Duffy.
Best Regards,
Roy Baker
