Hola AMIGOS
Desert Springs usually presents a challenge and, with a keen breeze yesterday, even more so. Scoring proved to be tough, with only 3 people achieving par or better. But with a course in good condition, super clubhouse and a very welcome bacon roll and coffee on arrival, a good time was had by all.
Let’s see how you actually performed: - 
Individual Category 1
A struggle for some of our lower handicappers, with 1 standout performance. Mention goes to Martin Hennessey with his 32 points, just missing runner-up place on lower handicap.
Winner : Paul Carroll : 38 points 
Runner-Up : Christian Ceuterick : 32 points
Individual Category 2
Mid handicappers also found it a struggle, with only 4 achieving 30 points or more. Neville Custance gets a mention for 32 points, and your leaders are: -
Winner : Iain Stewart : 34 points
Runner-Up : Matt McGuire : 33 points
Individual Category 3
A bit more success in higher points scored in this division. And mentions go to Paul Best, 32 points, and Bob Lancaster with 33, and honourable mentions to Heid Didden with 34 and John Fox with 35. But up the top were: -  
Winner : Caroline Pickering : 37 points
Runner-Up : Harry Rice : 36 points
Team Competition 
Four out of 12 teams managed to achieve a plus score on the Amigos 7s format Your top 3 are:
Winners : Team 9 : +6 points

The Spring swing comes into force now, with Alhama Signature next Thursday, followed by the ever popular Altorreal (there are a couple of spaces available so sign up quickly) and at the end of the month a short trip for most to Hacienda Riquelme
As always, many thanks to all of the Amigos Organisers and Helpers whether at the course or behind the scenes who contributed to the smoothest running of the event.
