Hi, just a quick message re the Book Club.

Since the re-opening of the GC & the purchase of new bookcases we have been able to, once again, offer this service. Unfortunately due to the fact that the new bookcases are smaller we are unable to accept donations of large amounts of books. The odd 3 or 4 is fine but we have insufficient space for storage.

There are notices to this effect stuck on the book cases but despite this some people are leaving large quantities of books.

Whilst we appreciate the sentiments, as we have said, we have limited storage facilities. Regards Bryony

Hi, can you tell me if both courses are open? I am looking into booking some golf for my husband prior to arriving next week. Thanks.

Only 1 course is open, the other has been closed for 4 or more years. Mike

Thanks MikeCol, thanks for letting me know.

Hi All,

I am in Esuri for a few weeks in a week's time. Can you let me know if the roll-ups are still happening at Esuri GC and what the times are? Is there any website/contact where I look up any deals/opens on other local courses?

Thanks
George

Hi George, as far as I'm aware the roll- ups are still at 10am (meet 9.30 at the driving range) on Mondays and Friday's. Chris Bloore is running them now (as I have returned to the UK) so he is the man to speak to. With regard to other events try looking at GolfAtomic.com or just ask at the Club. Regards Mike

There is a Card called SOIGA I believe you can get one at Carolinas in Laguna SQ

Its costs 40 euro and is valid for a year
It will give you access to Quinto do Vale Quinto da Cima and Ria Benamoor and Castro

The prices to play are then High season 40 euro lo season 25

2 rounds and you have your money back

Hi Mike,

Thank you for the help you have given me in the past, I am sure that a lot of Esuri residents will miss you and I hope you get back from time to time. I'll talk with Chris when I get over there.

Thanks for the SOIGA tip Guesswork and do you know when the High/Low seasons are in Spain/Portugal?

best regards
George

I cant be precise but now is high As a general rule Autumn and Spring would be high

Well done - Wow after an afternoon of rugby world cup at the gin bar, you can still be compus mentis at 2am

Jon

It takes lots of practice

Thanks Guesswork. Maybe you can also recommend where I might get a reasonably priced electric trolley, new or 2nd hand? My knee dives a bit of trouble ocassionally. I tried a few places, including Decathlon, last trip but they seemed quite expensive.

George

I bought a Powercaddy in May in Almancil but they are more expensive than the UK

I just had a quick look on www.milanuncios.com ( similar to Gumtree in uk ) and there is a shop trading as ecosur in Seville advertising new electric carros de golf for 250 euros. I know nothing about golf so do not know if that is barato or otherwise. I did a search for huelva as well but still got the same guy in seville. There were a few cheaper segundo mano ads as well. Hope that helps. ...........Keith.

Thanks Keith,

Certainly sounds quite cheap, I'll look that up.

George
