The La Orquidea team was all fired up, ping clubs, gallaway balls, team shirts all at the ready for the Clash of the Giants at Calanova.
All however, was to no avail as the red hot Bunkers team regetably had to withdraw at the last min (just as well with our scores!).
All was not lost however, we won the trophy on what turned out to be a great days golf.
The weather was just right, only a light wind to contend with. We only lost 5 balls between the whole team – some feat at Calanova. Pete James actually went round the whole course with the same ball (well done that man!).
All team members drove well on the day, but more putting pratice seems nessary. We are now eagarly awaiting the next (return?) game against Bunkers, which they shall host.
The challance trophy – totally hand made by 2 La Orquidea Society Members Shane & Ricky. Well done guys and thank you.
Our next game will be in mid November. If you would like to play please call the Clubhouse on 952 931 712 or email golfsociety@barlaorquidea.com.
La Orquidea Golf Days from between €25 and €60 depending on course. Golf Days include buggy, trophies and meal at the Clubhouse afterwards.

The Usual Suspects











Another super day at Calanova Golf ( a pity the the greens were in a bit of a state ) but lots of fun, good companions and excellent weather ( when will that sun get out of my eyes ) as usual too many wayward shots put me out off contention early on ( I still looking for the first ball I lost never mind the ninth ) .Good value as ever , Thanks Les for a well organised day out .Bunkers Bar must have heard of the strength of the opposition. Well done to Terry ” The Tiger ” and Ricky
ps At least the bandits in the U.K had the courtesy to wear masks
