La Marina Golf Society
La Marina Services International
Trophy La Finca Thursday the 21st
August
For our late game of the month we to
La Finca to play a texas scramble
format for a trophy sponsored by La
Marina Services International.
The course at La Finca was in
varying condition, the fairways and
greens where excellent but the tee
box need some attention, l also have
a moan about the access and exit to
and from the greens, and tee box .
one green you have cross a sand trap,
to get to and from and most of the
boxes you had to climb over a low
slung rope, but having said all that
the course is good challenge
especially for the lower handicapped,
It was also noticed that two senior
members of the society, were not correctly
attired. In there society shirts,
perhaps the axeman: had chopped
his up, but one other young Terry
maintained the standards
by wearing his, I
also wore mine but it
was looking the worst
for wear with a small
hole in the front, on reflection
perhaps I
should not have worn
it, There also appears
to be problem with
bridges both here and
at Plantio I understand
that these bridges are
coming in to play
more often with advantages
,so perhaps
some of us should take
lessons on to how use
them other than to
walk across.
The presentation
were made by Maureen
and Adam who
are La Marina Services
International at our B B
Q at the sports complex
pool area ,this
was an excellent evening
with great food
good music and
plenty of liquid to sustain us through
the night. Once again an excellent
event organised by that dynamic duo
Bill and his wife Joyce well done and
a big thank you to all staff of the poolside
bar as well. The photo shows
Keith Porter accepting the trophy on

WEDNESDAY 20TH AUGUST
COSTA BLANCA NEWS TROPHY
We seem to have visited Bonalba quite a bit lately, but we are always happy to play there for the Costa Blanca News
Trophy. The generosity of Sr Manolo Garay of the CBN is always overwhelming. And once again has provided some
fantastic prizes for our members. Thank you Manolo.
This week we had two other opportunities to win prizes, These were the longest drives (Hole 2 for men ) and (Hole
5 for ladies). Remember it must be on the fairway you big hitters. Carl Peden & Mrs Shelia Dean were the two winners.
The course has held up well from the long hot summer, not like La Serena.!! As expected the CBN trophy always brings
out the best in the way of scoring and Bonalba is not an easy course to return a good score on. In the Bronze category
it was very close with Gordon Boyne and Ray Ewins returning 31 points, Ray taking first place on 31 points on count
back. The Silver category was just as competitive with 3 points separating the first three, wnish was taken by Alan
Tickner with 33 points. Now on to the big boys (Gold category) I think that the winner of this category should be an
inspiration to everyone (More so if you happen to be in his category) To play to handicap 4 you need to be very
consistent ( and this guy is exactly that. He was disappointing last week only scoring only 28 points (remember the
course) but he came back this week strongly from yhat that to return an excellent 36 points. This was also another
round in the Captains eclectic, but you will have to wait for Captains night to find out the result.

Katie Reilly's Golf Society
Rioja Centre Villamartin.
August, the grey storm clouds
tumbled across the sky, the wind was
gale force and the rain was
horizontal, that was Devon, we were
at El Valle on a gorgeous day to play
in the annual Chloe Cup Medal
competition.
On clear and bright sunny day,
We’re off to El Valle and golf to play,
Twenty three Blokes and a solitary Bird,
She’s a good golfer that’s what I’ve
heard.
The story went round no one could
believe,
She’s in the same fourball along with
Steve,
To play with me would be a privilege
and treat,
But alas on the tee we did not meet.
The end of the round I was enjoying a
gin,
When the H/C sec said the scores are in,v
He looked at me with a smile on his
face,
Paula has beaten you into 5th place.
Another game and still no win,
I guess I’ll have another gin,
I can’t be beaten by a Bird,
Another gin, that’s totally absurd!!
However, I think everyone enjoyed
playing at El Valle it is in fantastic
condition and as a medal round some
score cards had 10’s &11’s on and
there were a few choice comments!!.
Chris Smith – will you stop looking at
your watch it’s distracting.
Dave Olson – it’s not a watch - it’s a
compass !!!
Fred Waring – I think I’m going to
drown myself in the lake.
Trevor Hough – Think you can keep
your head down that long!!!
John Hillier – I’d move heaven and
earth to break 100.
Graeme Clark – Try heaven, you’ve
already moved most of the earth !!
Paula Haggart – That can’t be my ball,
it’s too old.
George Thomas – It’s been a long
time since we teed off !!
Chris Smith – this is the worst course
I’ve ever played on.
Dave Olson – this isn’t the course, we
left that an hour ago !!
Eddy Wall – do you think it’s a sin to
play on Sunday ??
Steve Branston – the way you play, it’s
a sin any day!!
Moving on.
The results for the Chloe Cup.
1st Peter Deaves.
2nd Rob Neill (C/B).
3rd Trevor Hough.

The Junction Golf Society
Sponsored by the CoastRider
The hottest day of the year so far saw
24 members and guests turn out for
our game at Villa Martin.
Two players decided to walk
namely the Captain and the
Handicap Secretary , we dont know if
this was very brave or what - the jury
is still out on that one.
The course was in excellent
condition despite the weather, the
only blip was the 10th where two
foursomes played to the green only
to find the pin was on the Fairway,
due to repairs and then moved back
to the green for the other foursomes.
The decision back in the Clubhouse
was to make the hole void.
The results were as follows:
Overall winner: Tony Allerston 33
points.
Gold Winner: Dave Lishman 32
points.
Gold Runner up: Brendan Dougan
30 points.
Silver winner: David Wood 30 points.
Silver runner up: Yvonne Lane 25
points.
Best guest: John Sylvester 34 points.
Nearest Pin:
Hole six Brendan Dougan.
Hole nine Rob Chapman.
Hole thirteen John Silvester
Our thanks to Tony and Brenda at
The Junction who in conjunction
with The Coastrider sponsored this
tournament and provided the prizes
and a lovely buffet.
The next tournament will be on
Tuesday 9th September at Alicante
Golf. Please check the board in the
Junction for further details, and also
we now have our Christmas Function
on the board.
