Age Concern Golf Competition

Tue, 8 Sep 2009 13:57:30 +0200

Estepona Golf kindly hosted a charity golf competition in aid of Age Concern on Tuesday 8th September. 64 golfers took part in a two ball, better ball, Stapleford competition that saw play start at 09.300 on a fine but blustery morning. The last players finished at 14.30 by which time a running buffet meal had started satisfying the hunger of some 90 people. A grand raffle was held along with an auction of a special prize donated by Totus Financial and golf shirt from Lee Westwood.

The players waited in suspense as the results were announced after all cards had been checked and marked by James. The overall competition winners were John and Jill Owens with Steve and Doug White from Ryders Bar, Duquesa, in second place. Prizes went down to sixth place in a keenly contested set of results.

The winners of nearest the pin on the 5th hole (sponsored by Prosegur) were Mick Dunlop for the men and Andrea Pegrum for the Ladies. The winner of nearest the pin on the 14th (sponsored by Age Concern) was Frank Willis. Richard Bell-Young of Anglo Wines won the longest drive on the 17th hole. Finally the best dressed team were judged to be Ron and Andrea Pegrum with their Tam O’Shanter head dresses.

Age Concern can only help older people in the community with the help of donations and sponsorship. We are therefore grateful to the following sponsors, Estepona Golf, Manilva Autos S.L., Prosegur, Anglo Wines, 41 Club, Totus (Financial Services), Optica Machin and
Abbeygate Insurance.

Raffle prize donations were gratefully received from MillionHairs Estepona, English Bookshop, Glitterati, Red Line Cars, The English Butcher, Beccys, R. Wood, Retro Estepona, Gastons Golf Duquesa, Swings Restaurant, Sunshine Golf Mijas Costa, Nigel Hildick, Ray and Helen Oldfield and Fiona Dry.

1,500 Euros were raised on the day and thanks are due to Richard and Julie Wood for the organisation, Amanda and team at Estepona Golf, and Peter and team for the catering. Everyone who took part said what a great day it had been even if the rules of the competition did vary from time to time!!

Golf Societies still coming despite ‘doom & gloom’

Fri, 5 Jun 2009 10:11:09 +0200

Last week we welcomed a group from Stockport the Pineapple Golf Society run by the Captain Pete Burns. They played the course and were very impressed with the layout and condition and have already rebooked for next year. We enjoyed hosting them and look forward to their return next year.

It is just more proof that if we continue to improve our service and set great value for money prices golf societies will still travel in their numbers, we have all the basic fundamentals in place here and the best golfing climate in mainland Europe.

We are both happy and proud to be at the forefront of the Costa del Sol’s golf recovery.
