Polglase 3 Par

Polglase 3 Par

Saturday 12th May ... the Polglase Trophy Par competition was on! 

Par is the competition when we play individual matchplay against the course, either winning, losing or halving holes against the par for the hole plus any handicap shots we received - it feels a tough format.

  Fourteen lovely ladies came to play.

The weather looked good... 

...beautiful blue sky, a bit of a breeze and a few fluffy clouds.

Mmmmm...   but what is this?

After 9 holes this cloud loomed, moving slowly towards us. 

We tried the usual mantra of "It's going up the channel" 

but it wasn't.

It was moving at snail's pace toward us... and when it arrived it slowed to a stop. The temperature dropped a few degrees, the wind whipped up and it poured!

And it kept raining, most unpleasantly, until we finished the 18 holes.

We were all soaked!

Some of us (me!) lost the will to search for balls that went off line other than give a cursory look...it really was horrid out there. It made the second 9 very challenging.

But most soldiered on and our winner was Hilary who was 4 down to the course - pretty impressive in the conditions!

Sue D was also 4 down so countback had to be used to separate them!

In third place was Jayne who was 5 down.

Well done all ...time to go home and dry out EVERYTHING ready for tomorrow!
