CONGRATULATIONS JAMES BUNCE on achieving his first Hole-in-One on the 9th at El Valle. Straight onto our Virtual Honours Board to join our other 2 Amigos Hole-in-One heroes.

Many congratulations go to our Amigos Order of Merit winners for the period 01 Sep’22-31 Dec’22. KERSTEN RAMMELOO, Category 1 and HAROLD ‘H’ CLARKE, Category 2. We do take our Individual Golf seriously and these guys played exceptional and consistent golf throughout the 4 month period.

As we grow, with start sheets of 40-48 players more regularly we do appreciate your patience whilst waiting for everyone to complete their games! We will try and move you around earlier or later in rotation.

The Amigos Ryder Cup will be held at Las Colinas in September and the Glitter Ball proved that we have selected the right venue for golf, food and drink with an excellent golf course and service that everyone appreciated! Register for that one soonest it is getting very busy!

We were delighted to present to you the Amigos GLITTER BALL, a great occasion to end the year and judging by your participation and thank you letters it was very well received and we will do it again at Roda Golf next December.

In order to be far more efficient and eliminate confusions when preparing start sheets and scorecards it is essential that we have your most updated information on our database so please let us know if you change your membership status, buggy requirements, Federation Insurance, etc. It is very Important.

Amigos encourage everyone to pay their green fees, buggy costs, prize monies and membership fees by Bank Transfer (except for when we play GNK courses) before they play their Thursday competitions. This is intended to make it far more convenient for both yourselves and the Organisers. It is a development that many Societies are introducing.

It is likely that the golf courses we play will routinely ask for your Spain Federation membership card and insurance as we go into the future so do be prepared. It represents good value for money if you play regularly so maybe think about it? Ask at the GNK pro shop how you register.

We wish you all a ‘Feliz Neuvo Ano de Golf’ and wish that all your handicaps will remain constant or tumble downwards!

We congratulate and welcome Dave Hughes to the full Amigos Organising Committee with the special portfolio of Collecting your Money!

GOOD NEWS : Amigos will maintain annual membership fees to the Society at €10,00 per person from 01 Jan’23. This will be a ‘one-off’ payment no matter how many competitions are played. Guest fees will be charged at €10,00 per game from 01 Jan’23 to 30 Sep’23 and €5,00 thereafter until the end of the year

Congratulations to Harry Rice and his Amigos team on retaining the Amigos vs Sucina Challenge Trophy. Full report & results are available in the Results section of the website.

GNK have decided to keep the Alhama Signature course open over the winter months so we have decided to re-instigate our visit on 8/12/22 that was temporarily moved to La Torre.

If you are returning to Spain after a long break during which you have played 6 or more WHS qualifying rounds then please advise us of your current WHS value as we may need to update our Handicap Master records before you next play with us or HRGS.

GNK are looking to sell the Alhama Signature course and it will be unavailable for bookings from 1st December 2022. If you fancy what might be a last round on that course for some time then get there before the end of November.

The 'Bank Prepayment' method was very successfully tested at our Alenda game. Watch out for this option being available at a number of our future games, it makes life easier for everyone.

Are you in the HR Amigos Forties Club? Check out the HR Amigos Heroes that scored 40 points or more in a game since 1st Jan 2022 on our new 'FORTIES CLUB' page in the 'RESULTS' tab on the website.
