I have not written an article for a couple of weeks due to a house move, I have been too traumatised to write after hours spent in the notaries, yes you remember!

I have a few weeks to catch up on. On Tuesday 16th February Tony Monsellato tamed the course to win first prize with 34 points, modesty stops me from telling you I came second with 33 points.

Tuesday 23rd February we had to play at Las Ramblas our sister course due to work on our home course of La Finca. The scoring was low due to precipices, barancas, blind shots and greens that went in the wrong direction when putting, I always find it a difficult course. Third place went to Billy McMillan with 31 points, second was Steve Batchelor with 32 points and after numerous calculations by Steve, Jeff Giggs won on countback.

Bringing you right up to date to Tuesday 2nd March, nearest the pin on the 3rd went to Paul Simkiss and the nearest on the 13th was an old favourite Trevor Brown.

There was a three way tie on a net 70; third place went to Tony Monsellato with a net back nine of 36, second was Jeff Giggs with a back nine 35, but piping them both the winner was Paul Simkiss (pictured) with a 2 under back nine of 34.

Paul has not featured much (you can see why from the photo) but has been around for a long time in the background, he told me after the match he is off to Thailand for a few weeks, he will hopefully bring me back a nice present. Well done to all 3 for a magnificent 2 under par round.

I leave you this week with my latest worry, I think I may be getting old, as I went to straighten the wrinkles in my socks the other day and found I wasn’t wearing any.
