Hola AMIGOS
We had a lot of new & returning members playing at Altaona and it was great to see so many new faces. Whilst the course was a little wet we managed to avoid any nasty weather and almost everyone got round dry (sorry about the mud bath Brian Stead 😉). The course proved to be a challenge for all categories with the best score for the day being 34 points.
Category 1 
The only player to get an honourable mention in this group, for scoring 30 points or more, was Kirk Green with a respectable 31points.
Winner : Alastair Sporne : 34 points
Runner-Up : Padraig Garrity : 32 points (lower handicap)
3rd Place : Klaus Hummel : 32 points
Category 2 
No honourable mentions for this group I’m afraid with only the first 3 players scoring in the 30’s:-
Winner : Stefan Agten : 34 points (and just winning by virtue of a lower handicap)
Runner-Up : Bob Lancaster : 32 points
Third Place : Sharon Seed : 31 points
Category 3 
An honourable mention to Rudy Ceusters for his solid 30 point tally:-
Winner : Harry Rice : 33 points 
Runner-Up : Rob Henshaw : 31 points (lower handicap)
Third Place : Lee Murfet : 31 points

Team Competition 
The format used for the team competition would typically require around 81 points to have a chance of taking a prize, but this proved too tough today with no-one scoring 80+.
Winners : Team 6 : 78 points
Alastair Sporne, Lee Murfet, Michael Joines and Brian Stead (ghost)
Runners-Up : Team 11 : 76 points (winning by virtue of lower handicap than team 4)
Leonard O’Keefe, Steve Jones, Stan Lalley & Harry Rice

Other team scores were: Team 4 = 76pts, Team 7 = 75pts, Team 9 = 73pts, Team 2 = 72pts, Team 8 = 71pts, Team 10 = 69pts, Team 1 = 68pts, Team 5 = 66pts & Team 2 = 57pts.

Congratulations to today’s sharpshooters; Nearest the Pin: Hole 3 = Tiina Hurst, Hole 11 = Brian Stead & Hole 17 = David Wells.
Ironically, none of these were holed-out for a 2, however 4 other 2’s were scored and congratulations go to: Jill Sheridan (hole 3), Tiina Hurst (hole 8), Rudy Ceusters (hole 8) & Harry Rice (hole 17).

I hope everyone enjoyed their day and well done to you all for playing a part and supporting Amigos, especially the rookies.  You will find all of the results on the website shortly.
The next fixture is at Hacienda Riquelme on 7 Apr’22 so hopefully we will see many of you there.
Don’t forget about our Amigos Anniversary trip to La Sella on 26/27 May’22 where we can fit in a few more bookings and I would remind people already booked that deposits are due for payment. 
Thank you to Bob & Harry for their help organising the day and we send best wishes to Graham Field who should now be enjoying himself in Philadelphia for the next few weeks.
Gracias
Brian
