Yet again it was a record-breaking day for the society! Tuesday 14th September was our biggest numbers yet. A total of 35 played on the day! A fantastic turn out for the society. We had a total of 25 of our members playing, as well as 10 guests joining us for the event. It was a hot sunny day with high winds making the conditions really tough to play in. Of course, along with our cup and other prizes sponsored by our President, Derek Mac for the main event, we also had all four par 3’s sponsored for nearest the pin, and our “2’s” competition for anyone getting the ball in any hole in just 2 shots, was offering a prize of 120 euro! This amount was helped along by the winners of our Sunday fun-day competition, (see below) Dave and Christine Wright, who donated their winnings of 50 euro to the Presidents cup day. We also had our sweepstake for the winner offering a cash prize of 50 euro. We need to thank our sponsors for donating fabulous prizes for this special day. They were as follows,

Chris and Jill from Fuertenews.com

Mikey from the Prince of Wales

Kevin from The Stables

Tracy from Fagins restaurant

Christian from Helicopter tours

Catamaran trip from the Catlanza

  It was a very close run competition in such difficult conditions, but a clear winner was found as was second place, but third came down to a three way tie.

  Getting shots back this week were Dave Stevens, now playing off 24, and Dennis May now also playing off 17.

  Guest winner this week was Jason Butler playing off a handicap of 26 with a score of 31 points, 17 on front 9, 14 on back 9.

Nearest the pin winners were as follows, nobody hit the green on the 4th, the 7th was won by Steve Cordings, the 12th was won by Dave Hill and the 15th was won by guest Steve Pew. The sweepstake was won by the winner, Joan Roaden, who not only won loads of prizes, but also got her days golf for free! The 2’s competition was won by Elaine Knapman for a birdie on the 15th, she had to putt a tricky 10 feet putt on a slope, so deservedly won herself 120 Euros.(Big thanks to David & Christine Wright)
Out of our 10 guests this week, Jason Butler, who despite playing with a dodgy leg, and having to swing on one leg as from the 14th, came in with a winning score of 31 points off a handicap of 26(now 24!!!). In 2nd place was Billy Junior, who scored 24 points playing off a handicap of 22.

The evening presentation meal at 'El Rancho' restaurant in Villaverde

The presentation meal was held at El Rancho restaurant in Villaverde, who did a fabulous job of serving us top quality food and drinks throughout the evening in a wonderful setting. After the speeches and presentation of prizes concluded, the boogieing began, with Mikey from the Prince of Wales putting on his now infamous display of northern soul dancing which many tried to emulate but few achieved! Steve the DJ kept the music pumping ‘til we could dance no more.
A great night was had by all.
