Club Championships 2016
October is club championship month at Santa Maria Golf Club with the men, ladies and juniors all competing over the second weekend of the month. Another splendid weekend for the superb condition of the course, fantastic weather and the great atmosphere between the participants.
This year David, Carol and young Marco set out to defend their titles from 2015, David being successful in his defense. David Sharpe with a total of 149, beating his previous score by 8 shots with rounds of 71, 78 was plenty to see off any challengers who fancied their chances this time around. Second with a total of 165 was Franz Scherer.
In the Ladies championship Inma Gonzalez shot rounds of 86, 76 for a total of 162, enough to take first prize from last year’s winner Carol du Toit who finished 10 back on 172.
