Corralejo Golf Society, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands

 


  We had a reasonable turnout for our February Sunday Funday 2006. Plus we were in even numbers allowing us to play a team game. The majority opted for a 4 ball better in teams of 2. As most were already with partners or friends choosing teams was easy. Just back off my holiday, my brother was over here for a week so we teamed up together, Peter Flynn played with his neighbour Michael Ballentyne, Mike streams with his wife Annie, President Derek Mac with past captain Dave Cooper, Rob Hughes with Lol Hullet and guests Paul Downs with his other half Rosie. Paul, a 3 handicapper and Rosie have been to the island many times and have played with the society before. I had the good fortune to be drawn to play with them in a four ball. Though there was nothing illuminating golf wise on the front nine from our two teams, things were very close in general, the Streams had 20 points, Coops & Derek 19, me and my brother 19, Rob & Lol 17, Paul & Rosie 17 and Peter & Michael 15.

  Conditions were pretty favourable, not too windy and plenty of sun. Mike and Annie, Coops & Derek, Rob & Lol all played a steady back nine getting 18 points, Peter & Michael pulled it back a bit with 17, but after a birdie on the 10th from Paul worth 4 points, a par on the 11th from Rosie worth 4 points, pars on the 12th & 13th from Paul the game looked to be sewn up! This only drove me and my brother Steve on, trying to keep up with Paul & Rosie was no mean feat. Basically it was like playing matchplay, we were neck and neck after pulling a point back on the 14th. Thankfully for us, pars on the 15th and 16th put our team 2 shots ahead with just a couple of holes to play. But there was no let up from Paul and Rosie, we were pushed to the end with both teams scoring 21 on the back 9. This meant that Paul and Rosie scored a total of 38 points as did Annie & Mike, but with a total of 40 victory was to go to the Brown Brothers! My brother Steve, Paul and myself also played a game a few days later, but that’s another story!

  Don't forget our next event is the Captains Cup on Tuesday, 14th March. Tee times are from 10.00 am followed by games on Sunday 19th & Tuesday 28th March.
