Lake Como week 2 day 5
The World Airline Golfing Alliance hosted the third day of competition at Menaggio Golf course in what would be described as less than favourable conditions. Light rain had fallen during the evening and whilst the 9 golfers enjoyed the journey to the course, it was apparent that play would be held in wet weather.
Unlike last week, play was allowed and carts could be used on the course. The lack of run, the weather, the toughness of Menaggio golf course did not allow the competitors to show their top form, with only 3 players getting past 20 points. Ron Riebli(Usa) had 24, Frank Savignano(Aus)23 and Dennis O’Brien(Aus) 20. Nearest to the pin on hole 3 went to Mark Hopgood(Uk) and on hole 10 nobody claimed the pin.
Non-golfers visited Villa Carlotta, Villa del Balbianello and lunched at Bellaggio. Golfers joined the non-golfers for a wonderful 50 minute boat ride on Lake Como for their return to the Hotel Alberto Terminus.
On Friday, golfers will play at La Pinetina golf course and non-golfers will visit the culinary institute and then all will join for the prize presentation dinner that night. Guests will depart Lake Como on Saturday for various destinations.
