Sun 31st Oct
Jeremy Fricker & David Norris ’07 Finalists, Alastair Mackenzie & James Amies ’06 Finalists travelled to southern Spain for a long weekend of golf. Accommodation was kindly provided by Charles Donald who was sadly indisposed and could not join the party.
Practice rounds beforehand at Los de Nanjeros and at Valderrama allowed the finalists to hone their game. Blue skies, bright sunshine and beautifully prepared golf courses ensured optimum conditions for the finalists. Arrangements at Valderrama ensured that Jeremy & David battled through the first nine, the lead changing hands with the match hanging in the balance. David’s steady play and accurate short game began to produce an advantage which Jeremy couldn’t match. David won through finally winning 3/2.

James & Alastair’s started in similar vein ~ James gaining an early advantage. However Alastair’s straight driving started to wear down James, whose short game kept him in the match. However Alastair built up a lead that eventually bore success, winning 5/4.

Particular thanks goes to Charles Donald for providing the accommodation and smoothing the way, and also Derek Brown, General Manager at Valderrama, for his support and kindness.
