Condado de Alhama, new Golf Society

What to do Murcia, Condado de Alhama Golf Society

 

The golf course at the Polaris World Condado de Alhama,  opened in December and residents were finally able to play golf. The course is fantastic and has been praised by press and professional golfers from the Hi5 tour who are currently playing their 3rd tournament here.
 
One of the residents (Dave Lloyd) noticed that many golfers were playing the course on their own, so he arranged a meeting in our local Clover bar to discuss the way forward.
 
From that meeting Barry Barker and Graham White offered to organise the Condado de Alhama Golf Society. We now have a weekly Wednesday night meeting in the Clover to accept entries  from residents and guests for our Friday tournament. Also players can fix up their own games with new friends for the following days of their visit.
 
In 5 weeks we have progressed from 11 players to 30, which is a great start.

We have prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd divisions plus a ladies section when there are sufficient numbers. Catherine Emmett-Smith produces winners certificates for the winners as a momento of their success.
 
Results will be  posted on community websites, including the Simply Networking site,  and in total we have already had 80 different players enter, with handicaps ranging from 3 to 36. We have had entries from all over Europe with a strong Norwegian contingent.
 
We have arranged a 10E discount on residents green fees, and have reserved times running throughout the summer.
 
As we grow we shall charge an annual membership fee which will help us to progress. Away days, different competition formats and an annual players championship should follow.
 
With so many residents who have not visited Condado over the winter yet to come out, we anticipate it becoming a really successful society.

 

If you are interested in joining us, or would like to come along and play the course as part of our membership, please contact Barry on barrybarker90@yahoo.co.uk
