April Ladies Open

 April Open

There were 18 pairs entered in the April Ladies Open, half were visitors from Tehidy, West Cornwall, Falmouth and Budock Vean. It was lovely to see so many at the club and we were blessed with dry conditions with a breeze.

The format was an aggregate off full handicap and there were some good scores... and of course... countback!!

There were four teams with 62 points!

In 4th place were Fi and Liz with 63 points!

In the prizes were Lyn and Judy for best Back 9 and Sue S and Chris L for best Front 9.

In third place with 64 points were Chris D and Anne U.

In second Judith and Julie from Falmouth with 67 points.

Our winning team had a fantastic 73 points! 

Well played Fran and Angie... or Frangie as they may be known from now on!) A super score!

Thanks as always to the groundstaff for the course; to the kitchen and bar staff for their attentiveness and to Di who had prepared all the cards for us and with the help of Lindsay did the card marking!

Brilliant job all and a lot of fun!

Star past Captain!

 Past Captains Spring Meeting

League v Perranporth

 League v Perranporth

An overcast and windy day faced our team in their match against Perranporth on Sunday 10th April.

Home advantage was evident and this was Perran's first match in the League this year.

Huge congratulations to all the Cape team for a resounding victory 6.5 /0.5! 

Well done everyone. It was good to welcome Sam on to the team for the first time too. 

Well played all! 

Medal and Vets Vase

Medal and Vets Vase

Sunshine and Saturdays in combination have been fairly rare but that is how it was on Saturday 9th April for the Medal and Vets Vase.

Fourteen lovely ladies entered the competition and everyone was glad to be out in the sunshine.

Typically for Cape there was an awful lot of countback needed!

 Three ladies on 83; three with 82, three with 79 and two with 78!! What is it with Capers - it's a good job we have a computer to do the analysis!

Ros took fourth place over Hilary and Sue S all with 79!

In second place was Chris L who just pipped Angie.

And our winner of the Medal and the Vets Vase was Antoinette with 77!

Well played Ann!

Presentation Evening

Presentation Evening 

Friday April 1st saw a good turnout for a lovely presentation evening. The previous day saw our industrious ladies armed with silver polish and rags to give the trophies their yearly freshen up.

Sarah had unfortunately tested positive for Covid so Frieda stepped up to do the presentations.

A few of the trophies were not played for last year because of the Covid restrictions or extreme weather so the birdie/par and Birthday Trophy along with the Vets Vase, Eclectics and Wheeler Bowl were not awarded this time.

Sam was our intrepid photographer once again - thanks you Sam - so here are our winners for 2021.

Polglase 2 Par

 Polglase 2 Par

There were twelve ladies with enough energy to play the second Polglase competition which is a par format. Basically you play against the course winning, halving or losing each hole.

 It is a challenging format - well done to all who played.

Fran and Lyn both beat the course and Hilary halved! Well done too to Frieda and Fiona who were only one down at the end.

Thursday morning had seen some ladies venture out in the cold and wind to play the back 9 in a different format, 10-12 off red, 13-15 off blue and 16-18 off the yellow tees.

Blue sea but cold and windy!

Fran chipped in on the 15th! 

Well done those who played!

Away Days - Monday!

Monday

After various amounts of sleep we met at breakfast and prepared ourselves for the serious business for the trophy.

So today was an individual Stableford going out in groups of four. The weather had changed from yesterday and it was overcast, a little misty with the odd large drops of rain.

Again, many thanks to Sam for being our main photographer.

First group out on the second round.

Many ladies wore the pink jumpers  - looking smart - and it made us easy to spot wherever we were on the course!

Great to have Jeannie on the tee!

There were longest drive competitions today, on the 8th for the silver players and the 16th for Bronze players.

View from the fourth tee...it's a long way!

The longest drive for silver was won by Fi...

Fi on the 4th

Pam teeing off on 14!

And Fi!

Great team.

Sam on 14

Playing up to the 14th green

Playing the 15th... heading down the hill!

Putting out on the 15th

Putting skills!

Angie and Val

Hello!!!

The longest drive for bronze was won by Fran.

Beautiful backdrop to play golf against - the 16th fairway!

Getting ready for the 18th

We met at 6.20 (almost all of us!!!) and there were many prizes to be given!

Apologies if I miss anything...it was a busy evening!

Sarah had been unable to play but was rewarded today for having cared for (for months!) the sparkly pink head-cover that we all thought was lost! Definitely worth a bottle of wine... and watch out everyone... you may be winning it again for either a fabulous golf shot ...or a crazy one!

Also rewarded for all her support and safe-guarding work was Jeannie! Great to have you playing again!

The most consistent scorers (ie identical score for both rounds) were  Ros and Liz; and the most improved rounds (from Sunday to Monday) were Chris D, Val and yours truly.

There were two birdies, one by Sam on the 13th and a 'winning the pink head-cover shot' from Angie... chipping in for 3 gaining 6 points on the tricky second! Amazing!

The best front 9 was won by Sue S and the best back 9 by Sam.

The results of the main competition were as follows... Hilary 5th with 31 points (alongside Sue S and Lindsay who also had 31 points); 2nd, 3rd and 4th all had 32 points, Sue D, Frieda and Pam and our winner with an absolutely fabulous 39 points... Jayne!

Well played Jayne a fabulous score!

The prize-giving was followed by our evening meal, some tales from Chris D and a very interesting game of Call My Bluff!  We were all in stitches!

Thank you Sarah for organizing the Call My Bluff!

The pizza that Ros ordered was huge...

Big enough for two me-thinks!

And finally... the ladies trying to keep a straight face while reading out there definitions...

Thank you Frieda and Hilary for organizing our away days - what a fabulous time we had - we missed those who couldn't make it this year and look forward to a full complement next year.

PS... and the charity is £106 better off because of the 'fine' behaviour of us all!!
