Rumour has it that our captain Angel, is a tyrant! After a few weeks in the scorching heat playing intense serious competitions, we were expecting a gentle, relaxing, fun team game.

Instead we were presented with a variation on the “yellow ball” game, called Alternate Double Score, in which, in teams of four, all stableford scores count, plus, in rotation, one player’s score counts double on each hole. This means that par is 180 points. Was our captain once a darts player?

This resulted in total humiliation for most, as you can see from the best two scores of the seven teams competing, but seriously, it was fun.

Nearest the pin on hole 8, sponsored by Fiona, Gestoria , El Campello, was Les Wilkinson, getting his 2 as well, with a ball from Dennis Pyman.

Nearest the pin on hole 14 was won by its sponsor, again, Clive Dresner, C.J.’s Bar, El Campello.

Second shot nearest the pin on hole 3 was collected by John Coubrough, and the third shot nearest the pin on hole 15 was achieved by Edi “Rent a Car” Rogers. Just!

In the main team event, Maurice Buol, Elwin Price, Brian Hines and Derek Robertson managed 150 points for second place.

The overall worthy winners were Clive Dresner, John King, Bob Wilson and Ron Macmaster with 153 points - only 27 over par!!
