On an ideal (if slightly chilly) golfing day on the Costa del Sol, six members of the La Orquidea Golf Society once again played La Siesta Course in Calahonda.
Regular use of this course was demonstreated in the scores, this time round, the winning score of 36 was being really very reasoable of a handicap of 8. (Results table below.)
Ricky was on top form with 5 Birdies (it’s his home course, mind you) and Terry was also clocking up the Birdies this time round.
Fabulous shots included The Les who, on the seventh, drove to the green and on the 9th/18th actually drove past the green, almost to the clubhouse terrace! The only thing that spoiled the shot was long grass on the top of the hill!
Both times round on the 8th hole, Karen landed the ball square on the green in real style.
Kath Dos Leonnes missed a Birdie putt of 18 feet by the narrowest of margins, to create a Par on the third hole.
First timer, Karen, one of two ladies playing, had a great round fining her feet very qwuickly (that’s another one hooked)
In the party were two of Dos Leonnes Society members, Kath and Terry enjoyed the day as usual, the only downside was they had to quickly return to work. Kath also had a fab day with her putting, which was of an exceptional standard.
(For those avid golfers who might like to play in the Dos L

Having completed the course, the group retruned to the bar and enjoyed a chicken and chips meal and a rather exception social event, not only was the golf discussed at great length, but the economic world climate and recession-busting sessions were also apparent by the end of the evening.
The after-golf shenannagens, needless to say, lasted well into the small hours and the ever-present problem of tattered moods was more than apparent the following day.
