Charity Golf Day, 19th June 2009
Oliva Nova was the venue for this special day’s competition and as we have become used to, the course was in excellent fettle and it was a joy to play, if a little hot towards the end of the round.
The proceeds from this competition and the Barbecue, raffle and auction the following evening at the Restaurante La Vall, was for the benefit of the 2009 Captain’s Charity, which is the Raquel Paya School in Denia, which isfor children with special needs. Last year’s efforts for the school provided enough to pay for a special cycle, and the picture below shows the presentation of the cheque to the principal of the school, Maite Marti. Test driving the cycle is member Lee Underdown’s daughter Adelina, assisted by her mother Jo. This year nearly 700 Euros was raised which will be used for an item of equipment yet to be decided by the school.
The day’s competition was an individual Stableford and scoring reflected good play in excellent conditions, with the first three and Martin Gates receiving big handicap cuts as a result. 1st was Brian Clark-Sutton with 41 points playing off 31, 2nd was Lee Underdown with 40 off 16, and 3rd was Darryl Mason with 39 off 22. There were nearest the pin prizes for all four par 3s, the winners being John Pattinson (3rd), Lee Underdown (11th) and Martin Gates (16th) but no one landed on the 6th. Lee converted his shot on the 11th to a birdie to be the only scorer of a 2, taking the entire pot.
The prizes were presented by the Proprietor of Restaurante La Vall the following evening at the Charity Barbecue.
The next competition will be on Friday 26th June at Alicante Golf.
