Torreblanca Golf Society Reports
On these pages we post each weeks reports and results, we hope you enjoy them.
Cabopino 10th October 2024
Thursdays game was played at Cabopino Golf course and we were kindly sponsored by Robert Bungay.
This is probably the hardest and lowest stableford scoring course we play with the winning score somewhere in the low 30’s if we are lucky. We did have 3 players score low 30’s but these scores were smashed by the winning score who came shot a magnificent round and won by a huge 8 shots.
Afterwards back at the Red Dragon there were calls for a bigger handicap cut but we had to settle for just a 2 shot.
We often hear some poor excuses as why people don’t want to play Cabopino but this week we heard a new one from 2 of our members and it was that they were going to Gibraltar to get married on Thursday. Firstly why?? And secondly who arranges there own wedding on a golf day, the couple in question were Phil and Pam Savage and many congratulations to them both from us all at the society.

El Higueral 3rd October 2024
El Higueral was the venue for our latest game and we were kindly sponsored by Roy Sherratt.
As this is a 9 hole course thr men play the course off whites the first 9 and yellows the second 9 with the ladies off yellows then reds.
With a stiff breeze on our first 9 holes it proved a tough test but with the breeze calming down for the 2nd time around there were some great scores back 9 with our winner winning by 4 shots and his handicap deservedly hacked as a result.
Back at the Red Dragon for the presentation it was a great evening with some familiar faces there from the past which was great to see.
