A somewhat sad reunion of members at Mar Menor after the passing away announced at the weekend of long time member Shay, no surname required. A much loved personality, Shay had a humour and friendliness that will not be forgotten by those that knew him. Shay, we will miss you.

Thirty-two members and 4 guests made it to Mar Menor for the 4th round of the Bogey’s Medal Shield to the medal itself, only 3 members broke par, with the round of the day coming from Keven Mitchell with a return of 68. Phil de Lacy and Mike Inns were the only other players to break par.
