Results of the Copa de Escocia held in Oliva Nova Golf on the Costa Blanca

THERE was a good turnout on the Costa Blanca, on Tuesday, June 30, for the first ‘Major’ of the year, the Copa de Escocia trophy, which was a medal competition so a bit of a challenge for everyone.

We had 3 guests today, Richard Pike, Russell Andrews and Peter Ketteringham, we hope they enjoyed the game and that we will see them again soon.

There was the welcome return of the ‘twos’ today, well for some of us anyway. There were two winners today, Michel Grin and John Snelling. Well done guys.

As always, with a medal, it’s pretty tough going, especially in the hot weather and today we had a warm one. But we had some respectable scores and it was pretty close really, Susie Snelling finishing the overall winner, on countback, with a nett 72, from the guy who is always in the winner’s circle, Nigel Siddall.  And the final 3 places were also all decided on countback after John Snelling, Brain Barden and Malcolm Wise all finished with nett 75. We can see Susie collecting the trophy from Captain Brain Barden and the rest of the winners.

Today’s winners;

1^st place – Susie Snelling Nett 72

2^ND place – Nigel Siddall Nett 72

3^rd place – Fiona Sanky Nett 74

4^th place – John Snelling Nett 75

5^th place – Brian Barden Nett 75

6^th place – Malcolm Wise Nett 75

See picture of the winners, on missing Colin Foster was the only person to record a 2 today but he is a shy retiring type of chap.
