Golf Society Update 41 Advertising Rates

The golf society continues to be a popular group who enjoy the weekly roll ups, away days and special events such as the Spring and Autumn cups. We have had a number of new golfers joining us who have joined the Ice Club and wish to play with our society. Other golfers find the society first and are happy to join the club to enjoy all the other activities available as club members. We continue to welcome all new members at all levels of ability. Free friendly advice is always available from our more experienced golfers to anyone who would like it.

The first event of the year in memory of our great friend Martin O'Gorman was the competition for his trophy. This competition is always played at Casares golf, where all those who knew him, have such vivid memories. This year it was won in great style by Coen Nordendorp.

The Spring cup event in April was played at the Dona Julio course. With excellent weather and the course in very good condition the competition was a real success.

Rosemary McKenna was the winner of the ladies cup and Stephen McMurtry won the mens cup. A good lunch at La Choza afterwards with prizes for the lesser places, longest drives and nearest the pin, gave a number of golfers a chance to win something.

As usual there was the usual raffle for mainly liquid prizes.

Two members struck 'gold' in the last few weeks with a hole in one: Derek Witton on the first hole (over the water) and Jan Groenveld on the sixth hole and from the long back white tee.

Congratulations to you both.

Any away days during the summer will be announced by email to all players who are registered on our handicap list. Any non members or friends are also welcome. Weekly roll ups remain on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Tee off at 09-00 with arrival at Casares golf at 08-30.
