This is a brief overview of the society for those who have heard of us and wish to join.
There has been a society at Condado since January 2010 which is available to residents, renters and guests staying with residents. The cost of this is 5€ per year and new members are expected to provide details of the apartment number, home club and current handicap. If you cannot provide evidence of handicap you will need to play off 18 handicap until 3 individual stableford scores at Condado are submitted. Society handicaps are adjusted after each individual competition.
Even with proof of handicap and club you cannot win one of our major events until one individual stableford card has been submitted.
Benefits include:
Reduced green fees when playing on a society time (at the moment Monday, Wednesday Friday in a 2 hour morning slot). Friday is a formal competition, other days not so. Currently this costs 40€ (45€ with shared buggy). This is a saving on residents fees which are 51€ and 28€ for a buggy. So on the first round as a member you will save at least 11€ and maybe 20€ with buggy for your 5€ investment.
Start times for all events are posted in the clubhouse - just add your name. If you are not on site you can book in advance at bookings@cdagolf.com so you will have partners organised when necessary.
Entry to competitions costs 2€ and all entry fees collected are paid out in prizes. From society funds we also give out 4/5 prizes in the free draw for non-winners who attend at the Clover. Neil & Lynn also provide a wide selection of sandwiches for golfers and families free of charge.
Every member also receives a free diary/fixture list which they can collect at the Clover bar. We also supply society polo shirts at the very competitive cost of 15€. The colour changes each year and for 2014 they are plum.
Several times a year we have an evening presentation at a local venue for major competition presentations where all are welcome to enjoy the social side of the society. This usually includes a meal and live entertainment for a reasonable cost.
Thanks to Neil and Lynn we have a magnificent trophy cabinet which is a spectacular showcase for our many trophies (in the Clover).
The society have a weekly blog (www.cdagolf.com) which gives competition results news, photos and videos so you can keep in touch with what is happening when you are not on site at Condado. A full history of society competitions and events is available on the site.
I hope this explains what the society is about and how you can benefit by joining us. Please contact bookings@cdagolf.com
