Spanish reign supreme

THE latest edition in the well ­ established ‘Amateur Ryder Cup’ held between Spanish residents and mainly British expatriate residents was held on Thursday, February 23 at Elche Escuela de Golf.

The expat team, mainly formed by players from the Guys & Dolls Golf Society, did their best to retain the trophy they picked up in the last the tournament. However, they couldn’t quite hold on against a formidable Spanish side who took the victory with a score of 10 to the British expats’ six.

This tournament is held every four months and is one of the highlights of the local tournament calendar. Both sides are eager to claim bragging rights and take home the trophy. The team of British expats congratulated the Spanish side online but added “revenge will be sweet!”
