Meadery Masters
Sunday was another beautiful day for golf with blue sky and sunshine. There was a full house for the competition with a shotgun start at 9am.

| Meadery Masters at work! |
We had an unexpected experience on the fourth hole.
Lindsay found her drive between the wall and the mine shaft... no problem there - she decided to take a seven iron and played the ball.
She connected with the ball really well, just short of the green it went but did not fare so well with her club!
iron snapped in two!
The head section flew behind her where Frieda was standing and the remaining shaft was in her hand!
Everyone was safe but more than a little surprised!
This is the second snapping of a club just recently...as we were about to start our match at Truro the Truro lady pulled her driver out from her bag and it had also split in two!
From now in I think I shall be less cavalier with my clubs when I put them in car!
The other drastic happening was on the 12th, we were looking for a ball in the rough below the wall on the left, when Lindsay's trolley suddenly took off down the hill! Frieda gave chase, I was below it and aimed to head it off when it tipped over and threw its contents onto the grass! As we stood with mouths agape, Frieda's trolley decided to follow suit and headed even further left into the deep rough almost doing a somersault!
It took some time to sort everything out!!!

The winning man John Stock had 47 points; the winning Senior George Higgins had 44 and the winning woman had 43 points.
The longest drive was won by yours truly (sorry Frieda!) and the nearest the pin in two was won by Fiona!
Well played everyone and huge thanks to the Meadery Team for their generous support - including the very welcome refreshments on the way round!
It was an altogether lovely day!
