Yet another great day’s golf at La Siesta. Playing on a particularly warm and sunny day, everyone played well. Once again, some great scores came in – we almost had a hole in one. How expensive would that have been?!
La Siesta Golf Course, Calahonda, Costa del Sol.
The course was in fabulous condition, so good that we’re going back next month (Wednesday the 16th of September, if you’re interested).
The Chaderton family from Liverpool took most of the honours. Regular visitors to Resort La Orquidea, they took first and second places and the ‘nearest the pin’ title.
Third place went to the only woman player on the day, Jane Sax. It was Jane’s third time running in the top three – watch out lads!
Fab Shots
This month saw some wonderful shots (and we have the photos to prove it).
Mark Chaderton had easilly the best shot with his nearest the pin, just one inch from the hole.
Shaun Collinson had the bunker shot of the day. From bunker to one foot from the hole (an 18 foot shot), and he’s a beginner!
Terry “Tiger” McGrath put his T-Shot on the green, two holes later, chipping in from the rough for a birdie – that’s his handicap coming down.
Funniest shot of the day goes to Steve Ravenscroft who, on his first T-Shot, sent the ball whizzing onto the 9th fairway, leaving him further away than when he started. Oh well, that’s golf.
After the game, everyone returned to the bar for lunch and a few well-deserved drinks. We reviewed the highs and lows of the day and took a look at some of the better photos from our very own resident photographers, Ian and Karen.
All players commented on the high standards of the day, the food (roast chicken) and the great value, all round.
Once again, we made a few new friends and more than a couple booked themselves up for next year.
If you would like to join us next time – 16th September – get in touch. We promise you won’t be disappointed!
