After a few days of recovery (from our 'La Sirena' Sponsors
Cup) we played a Texas Scramble on Sunday 13th June. Normally we
play in teams of two, but as we had 19 people we had one team of
3. To even up the scoring, teams of two had 20% of their combined
handicap, and the team of three had 10%. As ever it was a close
run thing, and a tough day it was too, with quite a strong north/westerly
wind. I was lucky to partner the guest winner from the Sirena Cup,
Colin Chadburn, and we came in 2nd with a score of 74.6 after taking
off 20% of our combined handicap, but winning with a score of 69.3
after taking of 10% of their combined handicap, was our Captain,
Dave Cooper, Steed Ansell and a guest, Darren who played off 13.
To come in with a gross score of 75 on a day like that is quite
an achievement on its own, congratulations to them.
Once again we are welcoming yet more new members to
the society, Dave Hill, who worked on the 2004 Spanish Open for
sky TV, joined us as a full member on the day of the Sirena Cup,
and Noel Mulligan joined us as a full member on our Texas Scramble
Sunday Fun day on the 13th June along with Mark Edmond who joined

course or just come out a few times a year. Country members get
all the benefits of a full member, without the members discount
