Costa Blanca
CAMPO GOLF SOCIETY The October meeting of the Campo GS was held at Altorreal with an excellent turn-out due to their very competitive prices and it is intended to make this a venue once every quarter. There was a very close finish with Brian Johnson winning on count-back from Doug Blair. On the question of handicaps, there still appears to be some confusion between members playing for HVGS and the Campo. A golf society can make its own rules regarding handicaps and even considering the close proximity of the two societies, it has not been possible to coordinate the two - not for the want of trying! As everyone knows, if you do not play in competitions, your handicap does not change. It is only when you play that your handicap changes in line with the rules of the particular society. Therefore, any golfer playing for 4 societies on the Costa Blanca, could have 4 different handicaps. As far as the Campo is concerned, all handicaps are logged on the computer and are updated only when you play. We are playing at Alicante on 16th December which will be a Texas Scramble with prizes followed by Christmas lunch.
