...and since then!

 August

I left you at the away match at Carlyon Bay ...so what has happened since the?

This will be a brief catch-up as I was away for some of it...

The course being so dry and difficult/impossible to play has meant some adjustments to the calendar were made including the delay of the Admiration Cup and Godolphin Goblet.

On the 15th August it was decided to do a qualifier on the Back 9 instead of playing the full course and ten ladies entered.

The winning score came from Frieda with a 21 stableford points; in second was Lyn with 20 and Hilary was third with 19. It was great to have Di out playing ...coming in fourth with 18 points! Well done all.

The following day was the Star Castle Open which Hils, Fi and Sam entered - well done guys. So hard playing in these conditions.

Abbotswood Trophy

The following weekend, the 22nd August was the Abbotswood Trophy.

There were 8 teams of four for this mixed competition sponsored by Steve and Sue Dicker. The two best scores (one from the ladies and one from the men) counted.

The glorious sunshine of the summer continued and there were some good scores considering the dry-course challenges.

The winning team were Hils, Frieda, John and Ryan with a score of 80 points

Worthy winners

In second place were Sam, Liz, John T and Norman  M with 78 and in third were Chris L and Sue S with Cyril and Robin with 75 points.

Well played everyone. 

A special competition with Hils dedicating their win to Paul F. 

Captains' Charity Day!

Claire and Ryan's Charity day dawned bright and breezy and showery! The course was full of teams and generally we played at a good pace. It was a 4BBB and it was lovely to have so many people playing!

When we started the sky was looking grim and threatening but the shower was only a shower and we did have some sunshine later.

The plan to have a BBQ on the terrace with the band Badikoot was adjusted and we had the presentation inside.

I didn't know the men winners but happy to say Lyn and Sue S were second with 43 points.

After the presentations there was an auction compered by Bunchy and altogether about £1500 was raised for the Gaiety Girls Charity.

It was a lovely day - huge thanks to Claire and Ryan ...and for the drinks on the way round! A very successful day, well done all.
