 Dennis McKernon |
The placements for the 20.7.04 were as follows 1st Dennis McKernon |
| Tuesday 6th July was yet
again a record breaking day for the society in more ways than one.
Once again we had our biggest turnout to date, with a total of 18
members and 11 guests. Many of our guests this week had handicaps
as low as 6 and 7. As we were once again in large numbers, we had groups teeing off both the 10th tee as well as the 1st. It was a scorcher of a day, with quite a strong wind coming from the north. Despite the wind there were some pretty good scores came in. Getting a shots back this week were Mike Scarlett now back off 28 and Dermott Haughian now playing off a handicap of 8. We had many other winners too. Guest winner this week was 18 handicapper Mick Potter, who played as my partner on the Sunday fun day of last week. Mick came off with a total of 28 points, 15 on the front and 13 on the back. He also won the nearest the pin competition on both the 7th and the 15th, landing just 3 feet from the pin on the 7th. This just pipped Tony Fawcetts drive that landed 5 feet from the pin. But Tony was also a winner yet again on the “2’s” competition after birdying the 7th. He won himself a total of 72 euro after a rollover from the Sunday fun day. |
 Steve Cordings |
A special mention I feel is in order for Steve Cordings of Chablis Wine Bar Corralejo, who came in 2nd with a great score of 33 points. Steve has only been playing since the beginning of the year, and recently been playing really well. I believe he puts some of the credit down to his training partner, his faithful pooch Kiera, who has taken to wearing a crash helmet for the training sessions!!! |
This week was also the first time we introduced a sweepstake to our society days. Everyone picks a players name from a bag, and if they pick the winner of the event, they win themselves 50 euro. It was won this week by a well deserved guest, John Riley from Ireland, who went into the history books by being the 1st person to get an eagle on a society day, congratulations John! Yet again we are very pleased to welcome 2 new members to the society, Dennis and Jo McKernon. Dennis now plays off 18 and Jo an impressive 13! They have been playing with us as guests on our last few events. IMPORTANT NOTICE! Our next society event is on Tuesday, 3rd August. Tee times are from 10.30 am. At the presentation afterwards, we will be making the draw for our first ever, Individual Match Play Trophy tournament. This competition open to members only, is offering a 1st prize of 300 euro & a trophy for the year donated by country member, Stan Knox. 2nd prize will be 100 euro and 3rd, 60 euro. The competition is a one on one knockout, played over the next few months leading to the final just before Christmas.
