Happy Easter from WAGA

Hi everybody,

Easter is fast approaching and in Australia, it is the second busiest holiday period after Christmas. Planes, trains, buses and cars will be full. I will be staying here on the Gold Coast and getting in some practice for Honolulu.

Which is only two weeks away. Our numbers are small compared to previous events but I have been told recently of similar tours that have had to cancel due to lack of numbers, the Rosebowl in particular. Scottsdale has one room avbl; Gold Coast has 11 and Vietnam has 12.

Buenos Aires, Argentina will be held from 27th Feb until 5th March 2011 and the organisers have been able to hold prices to those of 2010. Full details will be on the website after 19th April.

Versailles – just waiting for confirmed quote from the local tour director. It will be in late May 2011.

Happy Easter, Brian Lassen; WAGA

WAGA scores in Buenos Aires

Arrived home last night after a 14hr flight. Programme was a huge success and everybody enjoyed the event. In the five divisions of the Argentina Invitational, WAGA scored a second and third in Men’s A grade, second in Men’s C grade, first in Ladies A grade and first in B grade.

I am sure you would agree that this was a great result. Unfortunately, due to the earthquake in Chile, 5 of our group could not get on flights and had to cancel.

Scores were:-

You will notice that my scores were exceedingly poor!

WAGA still has spots in Hawaii, standby for Scottsdale and spots for Gold Coast and Vietnam.

Buenos Aires

On Sunday 28-2-10, WAGA joined Discover Golf for the Argentina Invitation tournament. WAGA had booked 18 players in the 70 strong competition.

Play on Monday and Tuesday provided good play and no record breaking scores. Wednesday started rainy but has improved.

There are 3 categories for men and 2 for ladies and I am happy to say that WAGA players are in placings in all categories.

Unfortunately, my level of play has been poor.

Scores will be released upon my return to Australia.

Happy golfing, Brian Lassen, WAGA
