Scores were very close yesterday, apart from the winning team of Peter Hatherley, Andy Richardson, Bob Coe and their guest John Ellis - who made the most of their joker holes, particularly on the back 9.

In 2nd place, some way behind the leaders, but again making some good scores on their bonus holes, were Maz & Stu, Paul Spallin and Andy Mattinson.  Two points behind in 3rd position were Karen & Mel, Sandy Rumfitt and Richard Emrich.

All the above win the usual credits. Full results follow:-

A very strong SDM team narrowly  lost 3-2 to Vale do Lobo away on Thursdsay.

In the game of Geoff Cox and Ray Groves a fifty foot putt on the 18th green saw Geoff and Ray lose there match one down.

The only time Ray and Geoff were down in the match  turned out to be the to the last putt on the last green the significance of that turned a 3-2 win into defeat.

Lynn Cook and Mick Girling kept up there winning ways with a 2 and 1 win as did new pairing Chris Price and Jimmy Cruz with a very good 3 and two win.

Dear All,

Just a quick note to thank everyone who put their names down and played on Saturday in what I consider to be one of the best formats of pairs better ball. It was a pleasure to play with Ian and Annie in what was quite a tussle between the four of us with Ian and Annie coming out on top with 47 points and winning one of the most prestigious SDM trophy’s “The Captains Jug”.

On Sunday it was great to see almost 60 people at “ Horta do Vasco”  for the hog roast which too turned out to be a glorious day with beer and wine flowing.

The MC of the inter league have put forward proposals to all clubs for a new structure for 2015

They hope to have enough clubs to form three divisions and on  a promotion and relegation basis.

The new divisions will depend on how well individual clubs perform this current year, on that basis clubs still have a lot to play for this year.

The plan is to create more interest through out the season,there are other changes but all proposed changes will have to be ratified by the rest of the clubs.

Watch this space for more information . 

SDM suffered another set back on Thursday going down 3-2 to Penina

A severe set back for SDM considering the strength of the team.

George and Ian were battered by a young lad playing off twelve who managed to record nine gross birdies on his card.

Jimmy Cruz making his debut got off to a good start with a win partnered by Steve Edwards.
