President's Cup

President's Cup

The President's cup was played today. In fact there are three cups; ladies; men and seniors. 

The competition is a stableford and the ladies went out in four groups of three with a shotgun start. The weather was as still as it could possibly be! The sun broke through a couple of times but mostly it was quite murky and sticky.

Scabious?

 The spring flowers really are gorgeous at the moment - the bluebells are still giving some colour though they have almost finished; the campion and foxgloves are beautiful and the little blue flower.

Ladies playing the first

Hils and Lyn on the 18th

Like yesterday - today was perfect weather for golf. It doesn't mean we played perfect golf but at least we had a chance.

There were some good scores posted, with 7 ladies within four points of each other. 

 There were 35 pars today and 3 birdies! 

It is interesting to see where they happened; seven ladies parred the 9th; five ladies parred the 6th(!!!!); four ladies parred 11 and 12, and three parred the 4th and 16th. The most difficult hole was the first today.
Ruth had 7 pars; Bev 5; Sue D 4 plus a birdie and Claire 4. If only we could have more still days!

To the results - Sonia, Jayne and Sue D each had 33 points, with Sue coming out on top on countback and so taking third place. 

In second was Ruth with 35 and winning the trophy today was Lyn, also with 35 and deservedly winning because of her fabulous back 9 of 20 points!

 Well played everyone - for the full Ladies result click here.
