  "account": "On 2 September 2026, San Miguel Golf Society hosted a grape-themed event at their local course, La Finca. Rather than the usual provisions of bananas and bottled water, the course was graced with bowls of ice-cold grapes handpicked and chilled at tee 10. Members and guests were delighted by the refreshing treat, especially given the previous days of hot, bright mornings. The greens, however, proved to be quite tricky, as the super-fast sand they'd been sanded with made the ball gain speed unexpectedly. Despite the challenging greens, the event saw 32 members and three guests participate, resulting in a respectable field for the day. The highlight of the day was the Pairs Matchplay Final, which went to two extra holes before David Rowe and John Osborne emerged as champions. Refreshments were served on the shaded terrace, with the \"Finca Boys\" claiming the best scores. The event concluded with a celebratory gathering and announcements regarding upcoming games and sponsorships.",
  "summary": "Forget the usual banana and bottle of water. Today we were treated to bowls of ice-cold grapes grown right there on the golf course by the 10th tee, all picked, chilled and waiting for us to tuck in. No effort required whatsoever, which was fortunate as some of us were already using all our energy […] The post San Miguel GS at La Finca (2 September 2026) – A Grape Day on the Course appeared first…",
