T.M.G.S. @
La Finca 30/12/20
For
our last competition of 2020 our venue was the impeccable La Finca. 25
members and guests braved low temperatures and gusting winds of up to 45
kms. per hour. The course was presented in excellent condition and apart
from the weather there could be no excuse for not scoring well, that is
until you arrived at the greens! The greens are so good that even in more
benign conditions putting would be difficult. They are true but extremely
fast!! So the topic of conversation in the bar afterwards was about how many
putts had been taken it seems that 4 or even 5 putts were not uncommon. Upon
instructions from the Captain, John Eyre the field was divided into two
categories and this will be the competition format for the foreseeable
future but having two podium places as minimum in each category. Results;
N.T.P. Hole 13 (Silver category) Graham Smith, hole 16 (Gold category) Ken
Symon. Results for the Stableford competition; Silver category 2nd
Place John Hillier 30 points on higher handicap and in first place Graham
Smith 30 points Lower handicap. Gold category; 2nd place Alex Alm
32 points and in first place Alan Rickers 34 points. Our 2’s pot now
contains a very healthy €48 after a double rollover from Villamartin last
week and La Finca this week so it’s all to play for at La Marquesa next
week!
