CCAA Charity Day!

Thank you to everyone who made to day such fun!

First some pictures!

 Many thanks to Brian who was brilliant at selling Raffle tickets.

Everyone signed in and collected a Percy Penguin ball and a CCAA pen.

Nearest the pin in two on the 12th

 The ladies set off in threes to play a Waltz. 

There was a Nearest the Pin in Two competition on the 12th for both Bronze and Silver players.

Thanks to Chris L for the Onesie!

 Everyone did a fantastic job of wearing the Percy Hats... what a wonderful group of ladies Cape has to get behind my madness with such great enthusiasm.

Who's who?

The Nearest the Pin in two competition was on the 12th and was won by Jenny in the Bronze division, and by Antoinette in the Silver division! They both won Percy Penquin Warmies! Well done!

Everyone also counted the number of drives on the fairway... and there was some really consistent play. 

Sue D, Fran and Jane all got 11 (out of a possible 17); Val, Sue S and Antoinette made 13 fairways; Chris J 14 and the winner was Liz with 15! Brilliant play Liz!

The Best Back Nine was won by Hilary, Jayne and Chris J with 30 points.

The Best Front Nine was won by Claire, Fi and Ann with 31 points.

In Second Place with a score of 65 points were Sue D, Fran and Jane.

And winning the Charity Cup with a brilliant score of 75 were Fabulous Frieda, Luscious Liz and Beautiful Bronwen!

Well played Ladies!

There are some special thank yous that I would like to give; to Mark and his team for the course, particularly Chris Williams for coming before the crack of dawn to cut the greens; 

to Cyril for the absolutely beautiful wooden bowl that he donated to be auctioned for the CCAA;

 to Jane for persuading Carlyon Bay to donate a fourball to be auctioned too; to Ashleigh for donating a pedicure for the raffle and the management for two bottles of wine.

Thank you also to everyone who generously donated prizes for the raffle - there was a wonderful array - thank you!

Thank you Jean for coming and helping me do the cards; thanks Di for standing in at the last minute and it was lovely to see Rosemary too. 

Thanks too to Chris Lewis for patiently taking pictures of us at the end and last but definitely not least to Chris L for the Penguin onesie! It was great!

We raised £280!

Awesome!

Thank you!

Percy's Pick winners were Anne, Angie and Viv!

Some more pictures of our lovely ladies...

I have thoroughly enjoyed today - thank you all for making it special!

Thursday Front 9

Thursday 26th

Eight lovely ladies came and played today. Overcast skies awaited us but it was good to be out in the fresh air. 

We were playing a stableford on the front 9 and we chose two holes on which we would double our scores. 

I haven't played for ages so I was delighted with 15 points which put me second. Our winner was Sue D with 16.

Thanks to Di for coming and doing the cards. 

The course is looking lush... tricky getting out of some of the rough - but thanks as always to Mark and his team.

Well done those who played today. 

Sue has drawn up the calendar for next year so watch out for further info.

I'm looking forward to Saturday... I think it will be fresher than of late so we may need those penguin hats to keep us warm!

Phil and Tim!

Welcome Home!

Thank you to all the lovely folk who met up at Cape on Saturday to welcome back Phil! Not forgetting Tim too of course!

It was lovely to see so many there - I know they both appreciated it.

If you include gift aid and the donations Phil has received off-line, then he has surpassed his target of £20,000. 

Half of that will go to the CCAA and I know that £10,000 will make a huge difference to them. We have raised almost another thousand for the CCAA among the ladies and we will be sending to them separately at the end of the golfing year.

A huge thank you to everyone who has generously supported Phil on his ride as well as supporting the CCAA via the Cape Ladies Charity. It has been a wonderful experience to be part of.

Thursday

Thursday Back 9

Strong winds and a forecast of heavy rain meant that we were all fighting to get out on the course today to enjoy such superb golfing conditions!

7 of us came and 6 or of us played...Chris was tending her twisted ankle which is slowly improving. It turned out that we only played a few holes.

 I had left my golf glasses behind and couldn't see the ball to hit it... result... disastrous golf!

Sue and Lyn and Lindsay all fared much better and managed 4 holes...more sensibly Marion and Jenny stopped after two and got in before the heaviest of the rains! 

Still, we enjoyed a mug (new ones!) of coffee and a nice natter.

The forecast for Saturday is blustery showers... but the bluster will be gale force, so I have postponed our Charity Waltz until next weekend. 

However, Phil and Tim should be here so we are meeting up for coffee at 10.00.

See you then!

League Play Offs

League Play Offs

Sunday morning saw Cape Ladies setting off at the crack of dawn for Merlin - it was the League Finals Day.

This is the first year this competition has been played and it was a learning curve for everyone.

We arrived early enough to have coffee before the matches began; Sue Roworth the County Captain started everyone off and emphasized a couple of the local rules for us and the fact that each match had to be played to a finish... and then the Ladies were off.

Cape were playing China Fleet and what a great match it turned out to be. 

If this had been an ordinary league match the result would have been a win for China Fleet 4 to 3.

Well played China Fleet - it was a contest played in the best of spirits.

Two matches were all square at the 18th, one of which proceeded to the first to get a result!

Three other matches were decided on the 18th!

This was a hard fought contest in tricky conditions... the wind was getting stronger by the minute and we didn't envy the teams who were going out to contest the final (Falmouth v China Fleet).

Our Fab team!

Well played the Cape Ladies for playing today - Di, Lindsay, Fran, Claire, Lyn, Fi and Sue D, we almost did it!

Many thanks also to the supporters who came - Viv, Chris L and Judy and Jayne plus Brian, William and Ellie who were there from the start! 

Extra thanks to Jayne for being willing to play in the afternoon if needed, at very short notice! 

Well done everyone. 

More no go!

No Go Saturday

Rain, wind and fog rather put paid to the planned golf today. It was not inviting out there!

So we have made a few plans - next Saturday will be a roll up (like we do on Thursdays) and you can play either 9 or 18 holes as you wish. This leaves those playing or supporting on the Sunday an easier option should they prefer it. 

On the Sunday (15th) we have the excitement of the League Finals Day! 

We should know who we are playing against soon.

If you want to come and support us we are playing at Merlin - tee times to be confirmed but the first semi final will be starting at 9.30am; the second semi final will follow.

If you need to know further details then Sue D will have the answers after tomorrow!

CCAA Charity Day is on Saturday 21st October - we'll go for a Waltz... please sign up on the board... and have a raffle. 

If the return journey goes as planned Phil and Tim will be with me that day... so I'm looking forward to some fun.

Please remember to wear a Penguin hat ...or face a fine of a fiver!

So far we have raised over £900 for the CCAA which is brilliant - every penny we give them goes to the work that they do because they are all volunteers.
Thanks for all your support so far.

 Don't forget it is World Arthritis Day  on Thursday 12th October - the day Phil finishes his ride! His total raised is about £18,000 so he's done brilliantly! Again - a big thank you to all of you who have supported him individually.
See you Saturday!

No go!

Thursday

Fog and rain made the prospect of golf unappetizing and understandably there were only three of us who turned up - none of us wanted to play - in fact the fog at first would have made it questionable anyway!

There is a medal scheduled for Saturday but the weather forecast is heavy rain and strong wind so you may want to check before you set out.

Phil finishes his bike ride next week - he has raised about £18,000 which is fantastic! 

He'll be back here soon and should be around for my Charity Day on the 21st October so hopefully you can chat with him and Tim then. Tim joined Phil at Basel and has been taking it in turns with Keith to either drive the van or ride with Phil! 

They all deserve medals!

A Thank You

A Thank You

A big thank you to Steve for all his work at the golf club over the years.

He has now retired. 

We had intended to present him and Eve with our 'thank-yous' today at the Cricket Club Event at Cape. 

Unfortunately the Cricket Club event had to be called off because of the weather - but the presentation happened in any case.

A big thank you from us all!
