EUROGOLF SOCIETY

The first game of the Eurogolf 2013 season took place on Thursday 5 September with 42 members taking part at our home course of La Marquesa. A lower number than normal competed partly due to members still being on holiday and the fact that it was temporary greens.  
The competition was a Texas Scramble with beautiful warm conditions making it conducive to good scoring by those members taking part, although putting was more than a bit of a lottery due to temporary green which were far from perfect .
The winning team with a score of 56.9 was:              
Tony Stanley, David Gelsthorpe, Gill Britton,Mary Sanderson
Second place with a score of 59.1 was   
Nico Baken, Ken Brett, Joyce Pohl, Ghost
Third place with a score of 59.1 on count back was    
Keith Wright, Brian Heard, Petra van Dorp, Ghost
Well done to all who took part. There was a lot of talk about having to play two teams of 3 balls but this is unavoidable when members cancel and the match secretary is left with the numbers he has to work with.
Having said that it appears playing with a ghost player is good for the score as both the second and third places were taken by 3 balls. Thanks to our new Match Secretary in what was his first game in office. Don’t worry Keith only 43 games to go.
Football: David Gregson, Janet Tocker, Tony Stanley.
Vince Tocker won the bottle of cava donated by Stevie’s Bar. Thanks to Stevie’s bar for their hospitality whilst our clubhouse is being renovated.
