Thursday

Back Nine

Fourteen fabulous females (I'm going to have to stop the Alliteration!) played the Back Nine today.

We did a straight forward Stableford ... although most of us found it anything but straightforward!

The wind was a 'strongish' south easterly which made some shots difficult to work out! (That's my excuse!)

Shot of the day belonged to Chris J, nominated by Sarah who described Chris' drive on the 12th which ended a short putt from the pin! So Chris is 'holder of the head-cover' at the moment, well played Chris!

This was definitely not shot of the day on the 18th...

Can you see my ball?
No?
 Neither could I!

But... others did better. 

As this is Cape, countback was needed - firstly to decide third place which was between Chris J, Di and Ros who all had 16 points with Ros coming out on top.

And also to decide between first and second! Anne and Jenny both had 18 points (very impressive in today's conditions) with Anne coming out winner!

Well played.

Anne and Jenny also played at Truro this week and were in the winnings with a score of 41... just one shot behind the winning score! Well done1

Well played everyone today,

Tuesday Evening Golf

Thirteen gorgeous golfers turned up for our fun golf... 

..this chap seemed to have crossed the channel...

J'ai perdu mes oignons!

The evening began quite chilly - even the daisies were sheltering from the cold...

                                            ...but it got warmer...

and the sun made pools of light on the sea.

We played an individual Stableford and also counted all our drives which ended up on the fairway - maximum of 7 because the par 3's weren't included.

Of course, countback had to be employed!

 In third place (on cb) was Ray with 16 points (he knew his onions!)

In second place also with 16 points was "er... it's a four for four" Bob! 

In first place with a fabulous 17 points was Lovely Liz! 

Well played everyone!

If we'd had more prizes Countback would have had a breakdown... Frieda and John both had 15 - that's ok; there was a 13 and a 12, and then 5 of us with 11!!!!!
What is it with us at Cape?!

The winner of the drives on the fairway competition was Chris J with 5 out of the 7 on the fairway; we also awarded Liz with her two's prize from Falmouth!

Those that weren't with us today we missed you...  

Polzeath

League Match v Point at Polzeath 

 Today Cape Ladies played their fourth league match, this time it was against Point at Polzeath. What a beautiful day it was - it was hard to believe the fierce wind of the last two days and the rain of yesterday had been replaced by warm sunshine and almost no wind!

We received a lovely welcome and only a few shots were given or received.

 The matches themselves were very close too with Point running out winners four and a half to two and a half.

Congratulations to them and well done to our ladies too for taking so many matches to the 18th. Our team today was Hilary, Sue D, Fi, Claire, Fran, Bev and Ros - well played all.

A fabulous meal followed...

Look at that Yorkshire!

...with a lot of lovely chatter.

Many thanks to the Point ladies for their welcome and the way they looked after us - we look forward to extending the same welcome to them in August. 

Falmouth and Polglase3!

Spring Bronze County Meet at Falmouth 

Thursday saw 11 ladies head to Falmouth for the Spring County Bronze meeting.

It was a super turnout from Cape which was noted and appreciated by the County.

The results were a resounding win for the Home players of Falmouth; they took First (with a Stableford score of 36); second, third and fourth places. 

The first non Falmouth player was in 5th place with 33 points, she came from Carlyon Bay and her position was decided on Countback.

6th and 7th places also went to Falmouth and then came Sarah with 31 points!  

Well played Sarah!

Second of the non-Falmouth players! 

Well done.

I believe others weren't far behind!

I also hear that Liz had a two on the second hole! Most of us would dream of this! We'll award you some balls next time we meet!

Well done everyone and thank you for representing Cape so well!

Polglase 3

Today would have been the Polglase 3 Par competition but the weather was so unpleasant it was decided to reschedule it. The Polglase Trophy is a prestigious one and deserves reasonable weather conditions if at all possible!

So, it has been rescheduled for Saturday 3rd June and the Polglase 4 will move to Saturday 24th June. Other competitions will remain as planned.

Hopefully this will be ok - we will ask for decent weather! 

Depleted Thursday!

Thursday Front 9

It was lovely to have 9 of us playing today... because 11 of our ladies were away playing at Falmouth in the County Bronze Spring Meeting!

The weather was lovely although the wind was brisker than we at first thought!

Despite that kind weather, most of us found scoring a bit difficult... all that is except for Lynne who scored on every hole and came in with 17 points - our worthy winner - well done Lynne.

In second was Chris J with 15,with Jenny and myself following on behind with 14.

Hopefully the ladies at Falmouth are having a good time... 

😃

Well done!

SW Regional Final

Well done to Hilary who competed in the  South West Women's Regional Medal final at Tehidy today.

There were 74 entries from Clubs throughout the South west and Hilary came 29th, she was actually only 3 shots away from 10th with the scoring being so close!

Well played Hils, we were rooting for you.

 Hilary sends a big thank to Sue D for caddying and a good luck message to all those playing in the Bronze Spring Meeting at Falmouth tomorrow.

Well done Hilary and good luck Ladies.

Tuesday Evening Golf

What a beautiful evening greeted us at Cape!

Sixteen Super Golfers competed in a pairs better-ball on the front 9.

The weather was perfect... 

and some of the golf was perfect too!

Ray and Paul  started their round with three pars... scoring 4 points each time!

Tough for the pair playing alongside them... what could German and Chris do? They parred 5 and birdied one of their nine holes!

Great play!

In fact there were a lot of good scores... with 5 pairs recording over 20 points.

Of course... it's Cape... so Countback had to be employed to work out second and third.

In third, with a fabulous 25 points, were Liz and Steve A; just pipping them on countback were Chris J and German; and the winning pair... after that amazing start... were Ray and Paul with 26!

Great scoring everyone!

And a wonderful sunset to complete the day.
