Selectia,
the overseas property company, held a Golf Day to launch
their Amigolink partnership.
The event was held at the PGA Europro
Tour championship course at Mosa Trajectum which is
part of Selectia’s portfolio.
Fifty-two
players played the Stone and Olive courses and to ensure
all returned at a reasonable time for the presentation
meal, a two tee start was used, with half of the players
starting on the Pine course and the remainder starting
on the Stone course.Amongst the players was Steve Pinnell,
drummer with the top country rock group Smokie. The
competition consisted of three categories, Gold Silver
and Bronze.After
the tournament the players enjoyed and drink in The
Plaza courtyard before departing to the Venta San Antonio
for a superb dinner and presentation.
José
Manuel Flores of Selectia and Sue Merritt of Amigolink
welcomed all the players and guests before presenting
the prizes to the winners.There
were some respectable scores and it seemed fitting that
the best score went to the Gold category.
Results: Gold: 1 Craig Roberts 40 points
(on count back), 2 Steve Pinnell 40; Silver: 1 Antonio
Aboy 36, Barry Thompson 34; Bronze: 1 Peter Ashton 35,
2 Isabel Sanz 32.
There were trophies and numerous prizes
ranging from Mizuno drivers, golf bags and special wedges.
Also presented was an original golf painting from Spanish
artist Isabel Sanz.
Plans
are afoot to hold further golf days amongst other social
activities.

Las
Ramblas Golf Society
The
Society played a team game of 2 from 4 with all four
scores counting on the ninth and 18th.
My team of Lindsay Forbes, Brian Townend, Doug Wright
and TonyBrooks scraped into the winner’s enclosure
by a point with a final score of 91.
Wednesday saw one of our majors when we held our annual
Caja Murcia Day organised by Graham Moore and sponsored
by the San Miguel branch of Caja Murcia.
This is the fifth year of this event and we really
appreciate the prizes supplied and presented by Carmen
and Sylvia from the bank.
The competition was a Stableford played in glorious
conditions and proved to be very competitive with the
first three only separated on a countback after they
all finished with a score of one under par 37 pts.
The event provided revenge for B Team captain, Dave
Pulling, who took first place from A Team captain, Doug
Wright, by virtue of 19 points on the back nine to my
18.
Well played Dave, who also hit a massive drive down
the 18th to win the longest drive.
After everyone had finished we were joined by our partners
for a superb Menú del Día with copious
quantities of vino and much general frivolity.
Carmen and Sylvia presented the prizes and afterwards
president Mike Saunders presented them with a lovely
bouquet of flowers.
All round it was a good day.
Prize winners were: 1. Dave Pulling 37 pts, 2 Doug
Wright 37 , 3 Tony Brooks 37, 4 Ron Phipps 36. Nearest
The Pin (6th) Carole Wheeler, Twos Club Barry Holtham,
Lindsay Forbes, Graham Curtis(guest).
