That's 2 months of the year gone already.  Where does it go?  It won't be long before we are complaining about the heat, not before time I say.  On Monday we played a Stableford only using 5 clubs & a putter. As usual I managed to pick the wrong clubs but a shortage of clubs did not appear to affect the winner, Tony Brooks, who came in with 35 pts. Runner up with 33 pts was Sue Golding. 
 
We woke up on Wednesday to rain and therefore the majority of us decided not to get out of bed.  However 9 hardy souls did and they were rewarded when at about 9.00am the skies cleared and a day of blue sky & sunshine followed.  The nine played a Stableford which was won with another very good round by Lindsay Forbes who had 36 pts.  Runner up with 33 pts was Barbara Hitchings.
 
We had an extra days golf this week with an away day to La Finca on Thursday.  We had a great day in perfect weather conditions.  Although no one broke par scoring in general was good with a third of the 28 players being within the handicap buffer zone.  The results were;   1.  Dave Ottway  36 pts,  2.  Liz Robertson  35 pts,  3.  Barry Holtham  34 pts (on count back),  4.  Mick Brentnall  34 pts.  Tom Hardie & John Wheeler also had 34 pts but lost out on the back nine count back.  There were only two 2s in the 2s Club from Ken Robertson & Donna Adcock.

We were back at Las Ramblas on Friday for a Yellow Ball.  The greens had just been treated and heavily top dressed, so putting & chipping was a nightmare. Despite that, the team of Ken & Liz Robertson, Barbara Hitchings & Heinz Lei came in with a tremendous score of 147.
