Birdie Boys – Spanish Tour

Thursday, 3rd October 2024

A very early flight out of Bristol Airport, saw us arriving at our hotel in Torremolinas late morning. A walk around the town, sampling a few drinks at local bars before a dip in the freezing cold sea.

The Friday saw our first golf event at the La Cala Resort, Asia course which was very challenging but was in beautiful condition on a hot day.

Saturday, it was back to La Cala to take on the equally challenging America course for the doubles competition which was won by David Gould and Karl Gregory.

The third golf day was just three of our company, Alyn and Jason Dawe and Andy Yearsley who played the La Cala Europa course, again a tough challenge of golf while the rest of the party relaxed at the hotel and town.

Golfers:

  1. Karl Gregory
  2. Jason Dawe
  3. Alyn Dawe
  4. Stephen Davies
  5. Tony Howells
  6. Ron Powell
  7. Paul Thomas
  8. David Hennesy
  9. David Gould

Birdie Boys – St Pierre Charity Day

Sunday, 1st September 2024

Caldicot Male Voice Choir’s associated golf society the ‘Birdie Boys’, gathered on the 1st September at St. Pierre Golf Club for their annual Charity event.

The 2024 Charity aim was to raise donations to support St. David’s Hospice, a local charity that supports end of life care.
Twenty-one golfers from the choir and friends, tee’d up on the Mathern Course for a fun Texas Scramble on a nice sunny day, which lasted a couple of hours before the round was completed in heavy rain and thunderstorms. A very close and competitive game was had with only five shots difference between all six teams.

The after-event dinner was held at the Indian Empire restaurant, where the golfers tucked into some lovely dishes washed down with Indian beer.
A total of £225 was raised for the charity which will be added to previous events run by the choir’s cycling and walking clubs, bringing a total to around £1700.
