EN VISTABELLA GOLF SOCIETY AT LA FINCA GOLF COURSE.
A group of 20 players turned out for EN Vistabella Golf Society Monthly Stableford competition at La Finca course.
With clear blue skies and a nice temperature, it wasn't long before layers of clothing were peeled off and everyone got into the swing and down to business. The course was in very good condition for the time of year and with nice open fairways, there should have been no excuses.
All seemed to go well on the day until our fourth group reached the stream in the small ravine across the fairway on the sixteenth hole. At this point, “Quicksand” Mike O'Brien managed to land a shot in the ravine. On trying gingerly to step down to retrieve his ball, Mike found one leg sinking in the mud up to and past the knee. His next effort to use the other leg to help him out of the situation then went from bad to worse with poor Mike now up past both knees in the mud and stuck fast. Eventually Mike made his way clear by crawling on hands and knees from the mire and his team-mates stayed well clear of him for the final three holes. Something to do with the odour around him ! He was last seen heading for the shower rooms.
Needless to say, this group did not return very good scores on the last four holes as it took them that long to stop laughing and falling around.
The following group also, briefly lost one member when three of the players on green heard a cry for help from the ravine from Billy Wilks who had also got stuck down the bank. Fortunately Billy avoided the mud.
The moral has to be, “don't be tempted go looking for your ball in the ravine on the 16th, any doubt, play a provo”.
Apart from these incidents, the day at La Finca went very well and thanks go to the staff at the course.
The prize winners on the day were as follows:
First place - Darren Jones 35 points
Second place - John Leggate 32 points
Best Lady - Gorman Hagan 31 points
Nearest the pin at 3nd hole – Hilda Scott
Nearest the pin at 6th hole – Ray Parker
Nearest the pin at 13th hole - Colin Mitchell
Nearest the pin at 16th hole - Darren Jones
The Magic Two's competition prize money rolls over with none of above managing to sink the vital second shot.
The next Society events are a Stableford Competition on Monday 6th February and a Medal Competition on 19th February at Vistabella Golf Course and entries can be made as usual on the Society Website or on the board at El Juglar Mudo.
NOTE: As always, please book early to allow tees to be booked and avoid disappointment.
