Hola  Amigos
What proved to be a very long day, particularly for our Organisers, was created by a glitch in the Golf Course’s booking system for which they profusely apologised and they hope and we hope that the split play list didn’t spoil your enjoyment of this great golf course.  We did lose, quite understandably, a few early starters for the presentation but were so impressed with all of your patience and consideration.
But how was the golf?  Generally your scores proved that you found it really quite ‘challenging’ this week, however there were some notably exceptions: - 
Individual Category 1
Mentions can only be awarded to Reg Hole and Colin Walters, 32 Stableford points and two of the podium places were only a couple of shots better.  However, there is no disputing the winner who was clearly a class above everyone else and deservedly enters the Amigos Forties Club, congratulations: -
Winner : Shane Bordier : 40 points
Runner-Up : Colin Aves : 34 points (h/c 10.5)
3rd Place : Steve Jones : 34 points (h/c 15.2)
Team Category 1
An unusual Odds and Evens Team Pairs combination tested you with no Team matching standard par of 108 but nevertheless you all put in good efforts: -
Winners : Team 8 :  106 points
Colin Walters, Colin Aves, Shane Bordier and Gordon Hutchinson 
Runners-Up : Team 2 : 102 points
Donal Liston, Lucy Hole, Kevin Scott and Yvonne Keohane.

Other Cat 1 team scores were: Team 7 = 102pts, Team 10 = 99pts, Team 1 = 94pts, Team 12 = 85pts.
Individual Category 2
All Amigos in this Category played well posting some good returns and can honourably mention Rudy Ceusters, Jane McDonald and Harry Rice with 34 points apiece and Nigel Horsfield and Sylvia de Zwart, 36 points.  The scores on the podium places were very good and the winner’s quite exceptional with a best of the day and also well deserving of entry into the Amigos Forties Club: -
Winner : Jane Hutchinson : 41 points
Runner-Up : Liz McReynolds : 39 points
3rd Place : Ruud Woudstra : 37 points
Team Category 2
Not such good returns as the first division and I’m sure that the format didn’t suit everyone, however, and a real however, the Ladies Team didn’t just win convincingly they smashed it!  11 under par and 13 shots clear of the field boosted by great individual scores: -
Winners : Team 9  : 119 points
Dot Jones, Jane Hutchinson, Liz McReynolds and Jane McDonald
Runners-Up : Team 6 : 104 points
Rosemary Webber, Sus Tonnisen, Sandy McDonald and Harry Rice (Ghost).

Other Cat 2 team scores were: Team 13 = 99pts, Teams 4 & 11 = 97pts, Team 3 = 91pts, Team 5 = 87pts.
Two Two’s were recorded today, great target shooting Rosemary Webber, Hole 8 and Liz McReynolds, Hole 10.

Our next Competition is Thursday 27 Nov’25 at New Sierra Golf, a course gaining a reputation for its quality greens followed two days later by the Platinum Fours Competition at El Valle (reserve list only), with La Finca, Las Colinas and Alicante Golf on the roster for December. Please do register or let us know.
Thank you to our Organisers and Helpers, Harry Rice, Iain Stewart, Bob Lancaster, Brian Platt, Colin Walters, Ron Weller and Liz McReynolds for helping with the presentation.
All in all not a bad day, and you guys made it so enjoyable.
Muchas gracias
