Rates at Desert Springs for 2012 for FGS members

We have recently received details of rates for FGS members who wish to play at Desert Springs in 2012.

Use the Costs and Benefits link in the menu on the left to see the details.

 

Please consider entering the match vs. Playa Serena at Play Serena on Thursday 8 March 2012

We have to confirm our team for the match against Playa Serena at Playa Serena on Thursday 8 March by no later than Thursday 1 March 2012. So we only have 1 week left.

At present we do not have many people taking part on our side and would love to increase the size of our team. Please can as many members as possible consider taking part in this competition to make it a success. If it is successful the plan is to have a rematch at Almerimar in autumn 2012.

The price of entry for FGS members is 40 euros. This includes green fee, lunch plus prizes (for best scores in two handicap categories 0-18 & 18.5+ plus nearest the pin and straightest drive). FGS members buying tickets via our special deal with Playa Serena can use one of their tickets and pay 16 euros.

Buggies are available for 25 euros.

The format is individual stableford. The top 75% of scores for the team with the least players to count.

 

Handicap list now up to date

I have now updated the handicap list following Friday golf comp on 17 Feb, BSM match on 19 Feb and changes resulting from the quarterly handicap review.

We have uploaded the first batch of photos from the match yesterday to the site. We are still waiting to source some photos of the lunch and handover of the trophy. You can see all the photos here in the Gallery.

 

Bahía San Miguel 362 - Friday Golf Society 332

Well done to Bahía San Miguel for winning the first ever match between Club de Golf Bahía San Miguel and Friday Golf Society held on Sunday 19 February at Almerimar.

You can see the full results via the link in the Other Comps. drop down menu above.

We will publish some photos from the day when we get a chance.

Over the next few days we will update the FGS handicaps list following the results of the last Friday competition, this match and the outcome of the quarterly FGS handicap review.

Lets hope that this competition is the first of a regular series of such events, either once or twice a year for the forseeable future.

 

Friday golf - 17 February 2012

We had 48 people taking part in the Friday golf this week. It was a tough day on the course as a number of the tees were at the back in preparation for an official competition on the Saturday. Plus there was a strong cold wind blowing for much of the round.

We played a Best 2 stableford competition with 2 hidden holes.

First place went to the team of Jacqui, Mel, Joy and Frank R with a score of 85 points. Last place and chocolates went to Herbert, Judy Mc, Terry G and Jan L with a score of 66 points.

Nearest the pin was won by Walter on his return to the Friday competitions. The distance was 1.75m which is pretty close but he didn´t manage to sink the putt.

You can see the full results via the link in the Friday drop down menu above.

 

Start list for BSM match - 19 Feb 2012

Thanks to Marianne for putting up the notice below on the board at Almerimar. I don´t have time to type it all up so I have marked up the one change in players and scanned it in.

It looks like we have 31 players and BSM have 33 playing for them so all bar 2 matches have 2 from each side in them.

Looking at the draw I think we have a big challenge on our hands to try to beat a strong Bahía San Miguel team.

Whatever the results my personal view is that this event is a good thing for the golfers here in Almerimar.

Start list for match against Bahía San Miguel on Sunday 19 February 2012

The starting times for the match against Bahía San Miguel tomorrow are up on the noticeboard at the clubhouse now. We will look to publish them on the site this afternoon.

We have tee times from 8:48 to 10:32 off the 10th tee.

Please note that we have a limited number of tee times so everyone must ensure that they arrive in good time and tee off promptly.

 

Menu selections for Overs vs. Unders dinner

The menu for the dinner at Mar Azul after the Overs vs. Unders competition on Friday 2 March has now been published. Please can people taking part make their menu selections as soon as possible. You can see details via the link in the Featured Events menu on the left of the site.

NOTE: We expect everyone attending the meal to make their menu choices and inform Sharon by no later than Sunday 26 February 2012. If you have not confirmed your choice of menu selection by this time the organisers reserve the right to make the choice for you.

 

Restaurant for Overs versus Unders 2012 will be Mar Azul

The lead organisers of the Overs vs. Unders competition on Friday 2 March 2012, John F and Mr President, have now confirmed that the restaurant for the evening meal after the competition will be Mar Azul.

In a change to previous meals at Mar Azul the organisers have decided to restrict the choice of menu somewhat. There will only be a choice from 2 starters and 2 main courses (one meat, one fish). We hope that this will simplify things for the owners of the restaurant and improve both the quality of the food and the timeliness of the delivery of the food.

The menu for the event will be published soon.

NOTE: There will be a new way of organising the meal for this event. We expect everyone attending the meal to make their menu choices and inform Sharon by no later than Sunday 26 February 2012. If you have not confirmed your choice of menu selection by this time the organisers reserve the right to make the choice for you. This method of working will be adopted for all FGS Major competitions from now on.

 

Entry lists for the boule competition, Overs/Unders, Alborán away day and match versus Playa Serena Seniors

Match versus Playa Serena Seniors (at Playa Serena) - Thursday 8 March 2012

Away day to Alborán - Friday 16 March 2012

Handicap list now up to date after Friday 10 Feb comp

The handicap list has now been updated following yesterday´s competition. Although no-one played better than handicap, 23 out of 44 FGS members scored 30 points and above.

 

Overs vs. Unders confirmed for 2 March 2012

The FGS committee has made the decision that we are confirming the date for the Overs vs. Unders competition. It will take place on Friday 2 March 2012 at Almerimar.

As yet we have not had approval from the Almerimar course that we will be able to use the Master Course on that day. However if there are problems with access to the Master Course we will look to play some or all of the competition on the Classic Course. Either 9 holes Classic and 9 holes Master or 18 holes on the Classic course.

We have made this decision as the scheduled date of the event is only 3 weeks away and we realise that members need to know the confirmed date for the event.

The entry list for this event is open now. At first we will maintain the list on the website. We will put a notice up on the board in the Almerimar clubhouse closer to the time of the event.

 

Friday Golf - 10 February 2012

We had another great weather day here in Almerimar today. It was a bit chilly first thing but it got warmer later in the day. So much so that I removed one of my jumpers at one point in the round. Steve S gets a special mention for wearing shorts on the course when others were wearing fleeces.

This week we played X x Y + Z where you multiply together two stableford scores and add a third on each hole.

First place went to Jürgen C, his brother in law Bosse, Agneta and Kristina with a fantastic score of 147 points. Last place and chocolates went to John F, Bobby, Barbara and her sister Lissie with a score of 103. So the Castan family came first and last today.

Nearest the pin on hole 17 was won by Uschi with a distance of 2.87m.

We are entering the cards on Golfshake at the moment and will be looking to update the handicap list either this evening or tomorrow.

Thanks again this week to Luis, the manager of the Almerimar course, for the donation of a bottle of red wine specially bottled for Almerimar Resort for the winning team to drink in the clubhouse.
