Catch up number 0ne! Budock Vean and Captains v Vets at Carlyon bay

 Catch Up... again!

I've been away for a few weeks so this is catch-up time...apologies for things I miss!

Friday Sept 19th was the Seniors Open which was mixed this year...and Andy C invited me to play. Very reluctantly I did - absolutely certain that because I had to play off the yellow tees I was likely to score in the 20s...maybe?

After blobbing the first (for no other reason than poor play!) I played steadily and couldn't believe it when I came in with a score of 37 points! That put me in third...which taught me a lesson or two!

 Budock Vean

The following day a group of about 10 of us set off for Budock Vean. We were booked to play on the Saturday and the Sunday and Frieda had made wonderful plans for us.

The drive up there was a challenge in itself because of pouring rain and huge puddles of standing water.

We delayed the start but heavy rain made play very difficult! All bar three of us stopped on the fourth hole - the main reason for Lindsay, Jayne and I completing nine was that Jayne had never played the course. So with halos shining but very wet we completed those nine and then spread everything out to dry!

Our rooms were super and the food was excellent. Most ladies took advantage of the swimming pool and everyone had a fabulous time. Huge thanks to Frieda for organising us and how wonderful to have Bronwen and Angie with us too. 

We managed to complete 18 holes on the Sunday but the fine morning turned into torrential rain again and we finished with puddles in the cars!

A special time despite everything mother nature threw at us! 

Captains v Vets

It was certainly all go as the following day (Monday) several of us were off to Carlyon Bay to play in the Vets v Captains competition.

Amazingly we had unbroken sunshine! What a turnaround from the two previous days!

The Vets ran out winners - well done Vets Captain Sue... it's been a good year!
