Thursday Back 9

'Sandy' Thursday

Andy had warned us that the greens had been sanded and they had but the weather was glorious and there were some good scores in.

There were 9 ladies playing including Liz F our country member.

 It was good to see her - it must be noted that before teeing off on the 14th she longingly said "I used to enjoy this hole when it was on the forward tee..."

And what do we see marked on her card for that hole? A birdie 3 for 5 points!! Well played LIz! 

Liz scored on eery hole and ended up in second place with 19 points being beaten by Pam who had 20 points (including two blobs!)

Well played everyone.

Di and I were also out on the course by the 14th and 15th holes - putting red stakes in to mark the penalty area /orchard.

When we are using the new cards the red penalty area means that you have the option to play a ball from the drop zone on the 14th (the forward blue tee area) if you wish.

 On the 15th the orchard itself is now a penalty area which means that you can now choose from the options of going back on a line; stroke and distance or two club lengths. 

(Up till now it was out of bounds so the only choice you had was to replay your shot from where you first played it)

Several of our ladies played at Porthpean yesterday - Di, Jane L and Lis Jenkin were second...   I and my two playing partners from Tehidy were second from last!!!
