Wheeler Bowl

Wheeler Bowl

What a beautiful time of year! The sun was out, the sky blue and sixteen ladies competed in the Wheeler Bowl.

This is a pairs competition; drawn high and low, a stableford with the scores for each pair added together.

It was played off full handicap.

There were some fabulous scores today in the perfect conditions...

...perfect for tadpoles too!

Pond by the 5th tee

 There were 7 birdies in total, Sam on the second, me on the 9th, four players (Fi, Ros, Ann and me) on the 12th and Sue S on the 17th!

This latter one needs a special mention!

Sue S teed off on the 17th and had her second shot from about 50 yds out...

...it was a long way to the hole...

...the ball bounced just short of the green on a fabulous line...ran on...and on...and straight into the hole!

                                 A two for 5 points! Well played Sue!

There was a good amount of fun out on the course...this bunch in particular!

Individually there were some great scores - Lindsay had 42 points all on her own, with Chris D with 41 and Ann 40!

These scores more than helped for the final count!

In first were Lindsay and Jayne with 74 points; Claire and Chris D in second with 73 and 'Super-birdie' Sue S and me in third with  72!

Newsflash!

Frieda came second in the England Golf Regional Medal finals held near Bristol today.

Huge congratulations Frieda, an amazing achievement!

Brilliant ... we look forward to hearing details! 

Thursday 26th May 

There were 8 ladies who came to play a Greensome - this time we played the back 9  off our full 18 hole handicap for a change (adjusted to 60/40 of course!)

It was dull and grey and rather overcast!

In second with 21 points were Ann and Ros but in first with 22 points were Fran and Lindsay!

Well played! Great scores!

There was a lovely turnout for the Sydney Grose Trophy, a stableford competition.

3 golf days catch up!

 Thursday 12th May

Fourteen lovely ladies came and played a back 9 qualifier on Thursday. There was also a Mercedes golf day too so there were some very smart cars around today!

Conditions were pretty good, a breeze; a little cloud but also some sunshine and it was lovely to be out on the course.

Our winner with a lovely 20 points was Lyn with Fran in second with 18!

Well played everyone - it was lovely to have a good turnout.

Just look at these scores!

Huge congratulations to each of these lovely players for such fabulous scores.

Once again there was a two on the 13th! This time it was Antoinette - well played Ann!

What would our handicaps be if we always had such fabulous conditions I wonder... 

...our tricky course always has a trick or two up its sleeve so I guess they wouldn't change a lot!

Star Castle Open

Ten ladies played in the Star Castle Open - conditions were ok but the wind got up which made a huge difference compared to yesterday and some rain came in towards the end.

Robyn and Andrew B had organised coffee or tea and pastries before we started which were absolutely delicious!

There were 77 entries with various prizes including nearest the pin on 13 and longest drive on the 8th.

Bluebells by the 4th tee.

The winner of the competition was Paul F on countback from Martin W. The weather had clearly had an impact on the scores and there was a PCC adjustment of two overnight.

1	Ferris, Paul Cape Cornwall Club	39 pts (10)	Overall Winner	Last Nine Holes
2	Wilson, Martin Cape Cornwall Club	39 pts (16)	Overall Runner-Up
3	Tweedie, John Cape Cornwall Club	38 pts (26)	O

Fran and I were the first of our ladies to be found on the list with 36 points in 9th and 10th place, and Fi was our  third lady 17 position with 34 points.

We enjoyed a lovely roast dinner afterwards which was so welcome as the round had taken a long time to complete.

Many thanks to Mark G for organizing;  to Di who did all the results, (including identifying all the players beforehand - finding their clubs and Handicap Indexes to enter on the computer);to Mark and John for the course which was playing beautifully despite our difficulties and thanks to all the Cape staff for looking after us with the meal so promptly at the end.

A particular well done to those who played on Saturday too and some who are also playing on Monday!

What stamina!

More congratulations!

Polglase 3 Stableford

 Polglase 3

The competition today (07.05.22) began with 10 players but a sea fret caused problems, it drifted in and out and in the end the competition was abandoned for today and is to be re-scheduled.

Thursday's competition saw 6 ladies play a Skins competition - a new format for many leading to a resounding win for Sue D in her group and a win for Lyn in hers.

Hopefully this sea mist will leave us soon and we can get out on the course a bit more.

St Just itself was clear but a thick sea fog shrouded the coast.

Congratulations!

 Congratulations!

Two lots of congratulations are due!

Firstly to Jayne... a group of our ladies went to Cyprus and Jayne won!

Well played Jayne!

There were also team competitions and the winning team were...

Team winners.

Team second place.

Well played everyone!

And today it was the Silver and Bronze division Spring meeting at Merlin.

There were low numbers entered in the Silver section and by some fluke I somehow won!

In the Bronze section Claire was second and Fran third!

A great result for our Cape Ladies!

Well done all!

Coronation Foursomes

 Coronation Foursomes

Seven pairs entered the Coronation Foursomes on Saturday (we have several ladies away at the moment) and we had lovely still conditions.

Foursomes is always a challenge because you don't play every shot - it is not always easy to establish a rhythm and that showed in our scores. 

The weren't awful, just not high considering the good conditions for golf.

Our winning team was Lyn and Sue S with 37 points, beating Sue D and Fi by just one point.

There were just a handful of shots between the rest of us!

Well played winning team, hopefully you will be able to go forward to the regional competition at Yeovil.
