Calanova 30th July 2026
Last week we played at Calanova and were kindly sponsored by Dennis Regan.
The course was in excellent condition with the greens especially good and proved a tough test with tee boxes pushed back and some tricky pin positions which was reflected in the scores with only 1 player getting over 30pts.

Santana 23rd July 2026
This week’s game took us back to our home course Santana and we were kindly sponsored by John Yuill.
As of late the course was in both magnificent condition and also played tough which was reflected in the scores which unlike previous year’s there were no scores in the 40’s with nobody even shooting 36pts.
When the cards had been checked there was only 2 pts separating the top 5 and with over 10 people playing the handicap cutting committee got to work on the top 3 places.
Results from Santana
1st, Vince Mckenna, 35pts, playing off 9.0, now 8.5.
2nd, Andy Hassall, 34pts, playing off 14.7, now 14.3.

El Chaparral 16th July 2026
A small but merry band of golfers descended on El Chaparral last Thursday and we were kindly sponsored by Brian Wilson.
With a combination of the heat and people going home for the summer there were only 8 players this week so because of that there was no top 3 handicap cuts unless they scored above 36pts.
Back at the Red Dragon there was an intimate presentation inside with our master of ceremonies Bob Sawyer conducting a presentation only he could present which still lasted quite a while even tho there were so few there and as always there was a little rules talk as well.
Results from El Chaparral.
1st, Brian Wilson, 36pts, still off 15.9 hcp.
2nd, Andy Hassall, 32pts, back 9 of 17pts, back 6 of 12pts, now off 14.7 hcp.
3rd, Jeff Lane, 32pts, back 9 of 17pts, back 6 of 11pts, still off 28.0 hcp.

Nearest the pin in One on Hole 18, Dennis Regan.
Next week we are playing at Santana with the first tee time being brought forward to 9.20 because of the heat.
Cabopino 2nd July 2026
Thursday’s game was played at Cabopino and we were kindly sponsored by Tony Sidebottom.
On a very hot and humid day the course as usual played very tough and this was reflected in the scores for most of us apart from the top 2 who managed to break the 30 point barrier.
Results from Cabopino

2nd, Mike Milner, 30pts, playing off 11.6, nkw 11.2.

Best front 9 score, Brian Wilson, 15pts
Best back 9 score, Mike Milner, 18pts
