Hi everyone and hope you are all well.Last week was an amazing week for me I wemt play golf in the Italian disabled open in Rapallo all to the kindnes of Birgit Harder her partner William Hennesey,and Birgits boss Micheal from IMSM { ISO SPECLALLIST SERVICES }.They sponsored four us to play out there so a big thank you from all of us.
Well where do i start what a lovely place to go and play golf, the hotel was beautiful me and my room mate Big Mal Dalby were on the top floor.Big balcony sun loungers on it over looking the town and the harbour it was just beautiful. The golf course was about 5 mins from the hotel in the middle of a town. Didn't know what to expect well i wasnt quite ready for what i was to be playing for the next three daysit was heaven. The views from every hole were just stunning ,was their a bad hole ?no there wasn't. We had the practice round to get to know the course ready for the next day.I was in cat 2 with 26 other players and after the first round i was laying in joint 3 with an 88 so i was very pleased with that. Day two of competitiion im out second to last group in our cat not a good start 5 ;6 ;;7 on my first three holes . I just carried on had 44 front nine an 40 back nine I was happy with that. The last group came in so we left it ten minutes then went and had a look at score board it was a big surprise i had won the italian disabled open cat 2 by three shots. It was a big hi 5 from my mate Andy Gardiner who had won the net in cat 1.
So all in all a great few days at Rapallo golf and tennis club well done to all the guys Mal ,Bill.Brendon.Andy and of course the main man Willam it was also great to see a lot of people i havant seen for years as well so a BIG well done to everyone that played.
On a bit of a sad note the gents lost to our junors on aturday so well done to them
