Men’s Captain’s Weekly News 15th December 2024

Gentlemen

What a difference a week makes with the weather! My recent newsletters and comments on the Costa del Sol weather came back to bite me on Thursday. More about that later.

MEN’S Competition Tuesday December 10th

The Tuesday competition was contested by 21 players reduced to 20 by injury. Scoring was extremely good for two players who left the field behind finishing 4 points clear of the rest. Stuart Burrell and Paul Charles both finished with 41 points but victory by handicap went to Stuart. Unlike last Thursday’s nine 2’s, they were somewhat more difficult with just the one!!

Results

1 st – Stuart Burrell – 41 pts
2 nd – Paul Charles – 41 pts on Hcp
3 rd – Ian Jones – 37 pts
4 th – Paul Stevenson – 37 pts on Hcp

Nearest the Pin – Paul Stevenson
2’s – Derek Whelan
Tissue – John Billington

MEN’S Competition Thursday December 12th

San Roque temporarily turned into something resembling a ski slope.
One of my daughters thought the sea had invaded the course.

Monthly Medal Saturday December 14th sponsored by Vinomarket

Many thanks to Ricard Bell-Young and Vinomarket for their continued sponsorship of the San Roque Monthly Medal. Some great scoring in the 9th running of this year’s tournament. Definitely not a stranger to picking up the occasional prize but an excellent round of 68 (Gross 73) by David Macgregor, with Andy Macauley just one shot behind with a net 69.

Well played guys

Results

1 st – David MacGregor- 68
2 nd – Andy Macauley – 69
