Open Day

Open Day

Twelve team of 3 ladies competed in our Open Day. Five of those teams contained visitors and it was lovely to welcome them to Cape.

Prize table with Pam's lovely flowers.

Sue's chosen format was teams of three with two scores to count off full handicap. We were glad of the extra shots because conditions were not the easiest.

Competitors were given a heads up about the state of the rough... with a warning to avoid it if at all possible... I for one chose to ignore the advice (not intentionally!)... and reaped the challenging reward!

However, the rest of the course was looking fantastic... and the greens were superb.

As always many thanks to Mark and Chris for their work on the course and their continuing battle for equipment.

Thanks to Jean and Lynne for doing the Raffle and Chris L for signing us in.

We signed in and bought our raffle tickets then headed out on the course. 

We had awoken to fog... thick in some places... not too bad in St Just, but fortunately it lifted and stayed away for the duration of our rounds.

There was a stronger wind than we anticipated and Kenny, Brian and Chris had to find ways of staying warm. Kenny started us off and Brian and Chris spotted balls for us on 4 and 12 - much appreciated thank you!!

Sue had arranged for a Nearest the Pin in two competition on the 9th, and a longest drive on the 11th.

Lyn won the nearest the pin; and our visitor from Looe, Sandy won the longest drive ... it was straight into the wind today so it was a real challenge!

Well done both!

The Best Back Nine was won by Lindsay, Ros and Jayne with a score of 36! Fantastic play, (Lindsay and Jayne both birdied the 12th)!  Well done team!

 The Best Front Nine was won by Frieda, Liz and Bronwen with 31 points! Fantastic job!

The Best Visiting Team were from Truro/Killiow with a score of 65.

Well played!

Pwint, Geraldine and Lynn

The Best Cape Team needed countback to decide of course, both teams scoring 65 points!  It was between Lyn, Sue  S and Di or Frieda, Liz and Bronwen! 

The back nine decided it and Lyn, Sue and Di came out on top!

Best Cape Team

And so to our Open Champions... with a score of 70 with some amazing scoring on the back 9 (42 points!)...

Fran, Jane and Sue!

Well played indeed!

Open Champions.

Many thanks to Sue for organising the day and for her team of helpers. 

A personal PS - I have always refrained from commenting on this blog about the food we are served at Cape but today I simply have to...

I do this with a heavy heart and you will all know that I mean absolutely no criticism of Sue and her team.... 

It was great to see our visitors, they enjoyed the course (other than the rough), but very worryingly, they were shocked with the food that was presented to them. 

The soup was lukewarm, in cold bowls and initially served without bread;  the lasagne was burnt, dry and unpalatable. 

Some ate their food because they said they 'didn't want to make a fuss...' others returned it. 

It was shameful.

We apologised to our visitors... but it is an awful state of affairs when this is what we are faced with.
