Dear Members

I cannot believe that 7 months of my year have already gone and that Christmas is almost upon us again. However the Committee have been busy and as you will see there is plenty of reading enclosed for your perusal. As this will be the last newsletter before most of you return for the winter can I just remind you that your handicap certificates and playing records are requested, otherwise you will be ineligible to win any prizes.

Also enclosed is a copy of the Competition Entry Rules which have been drawn up in order to avoid any misunderstanding.

During this year we have unfortunately lost three of our members: Steve Hirst and Les Perry died in February and Liz Hatcher died in May. Condolences were sent to the family on behalf of the members.

The Annual Presentation Dinner Dance will once again be held at the Villa Cortez, after many requests, and this will be on Friday, 18th January 2008. The cost this year will be €57.50 and there will only be 110 tickets available for the occasion. I have enclosed details of the Dinner and hope that you will support this as in previous years.

The Summer has been quiet this year but we have had some very good competitions. The Anniversary Trophy was held on 29th April and was won by Ian Hooley with a score of 70 net after a count back. Second was Steve Johnson, again with a 70 on a count back and third place went to James Ferraby with a 70 net.

The Summer Knockout was held at the beginning of July with the final being played between Gary Lavelle and David Taylor and James Ferraby and myself. James and I won the final at the 15th.

The Steve Yates Memorial Trophy was held on 2nd September which was once again sponsored by Marion Yates. The winner was Ian Pilling with a score of 67 and in second place Mike Baker won on a card play off with a score of 72 beating Alex Mathias into third place. The best lady was Ann Dunlop with a score of 77 and the front nine prize went to Ray Massey and the back nine to Alan Watson. After the competition there was a buffet on the terrace. Thank you Marion for your sponsorship of this competition.

The monthly medals were won by:

We had three holes in one during the year – Arnie Almond in the Summer KO at the 18th hole, Mike Baker on 15th July at the 2nd hole and Ray Massey on the 26th August at the 14th hole. 

Congratulation and well done everyone.

Once again this year the men have played 4 ball matches against Adeje and Golf del Sur. Unfortunately Amarilla lost by one point to Adeje, but the matches were enjoyed by everyone. I understand that Alan organised further matches, but singles this time which are taking place this month.

As this will be the last newsletter before the subscriptions are due can I please remind everyone that subscriptions are due 1st December with payment being accepted up to 28th February 2008. Would all members please be aware that if payment is not made prior to the end of February their membership will lapse.

I look forward to seeing all our members for the Winter season and hope that we can all have great golf with good companionship.
