LA MARINA GS OPICA OPTIMA TROPHY

The Opica Optima Trophy - Texas Scramble, was the competition for the members of the La Marina Golf Society this week.

The venue was the very picturesque Bonalba golf course, where the wind abated and the sun came out to make it an enjoyable team game experience.

We were also pleased to welcome four new members to the society, Peter, Dave, Rod and Terry and to welcome back a few of our overseas members.

The winners of the Optic Optima Trophy were Sarah McCabe, Tony Ollier, Jeff Wiszniewski and Peter Pilkew with a net score of 56.

They were presented with the trophy and game prizes by our Captain Iain Lyall. We had 3 nearest the pin winners, Roy Harris, Peter Pilkew and Jimmy Scott Our next game is at Las Colinas on the 9th February.

Some convincing wins this week with the Ladybirds retaining top spot after an 18 ñ 2 smasher against the Friendly Temps.

Captain Sandra Crabbe didn¥t even need to play herself because ìher girls were on fireî.

The Gap Girlz move up into to 2nd place, 7 points shy of the Ladybirds but with a game in hand.

Primadonnas and Tipsy Tigers both have 71 points but Primadonnas have fewer leg points against them.

The delightful Dolly Mixtures will need to play their two missed matches soon so that all teams are on an equal standing.

Shout out this week to Gap Girl Bliss Wright, who put in another blinding individual performance with five triple figure scores including a check-out on 100!

Bliss also holds the highest finish so far this season, having previously exited on 120 back in November.

Sunny Corner Golf Society

Our charity day at La Finca GC for the Elche Children's Care Home saw 850 euros raised along with a rather large Minnion. The cheque was handed to a representative from the Care Home by Steve McGuiness, owner of the Sunny Corner, along with some of the golfers who helped to raise the money.
