Captain’s Day – Las Colinas – Thursday, 28th September 2017

Unfortunately due to the sad passing of our Captain’s father-in-law he couldn’t attend his Captain’s Day. Deepest condolences to Shaun and Mandy and family from all of Alfie’s Golf Society.

28 members and guests from Alfie’s GS travelled to Las Colinas GC for the Captain’s day and September meeting of Alfie’s Golf Society on what was a pleasantly warm sunny day.  The course was in very good condition, the greens and fairways were excellent and as usual Las Colinas lived up to its reputation as a tough but fair course.
