Turkey Trot Treat!

Sunday 17th

Today we were invited to play in the Turkey Trot. Six ladies played in pairs, it was a betterball  competition. The weather stayed fine until the last few holes when we all got rather wet... but none of this affected the winning team... Sue D and Fran  had a fantastic round scoring 42 points!

Well done!

Thanks to Geoff for arranging today and providing everyone with a lovely bottle of wine for entering and nibbles afterwards.

Happy Christmas!

Bring and Win and the Birthday Trophy!

Saturday 16th December

Today we played  the 18 Qualifying Stableford that is the Bring and Win and also the Birthday Trophy which was delayed from Thursday.

The sun was just coming up as I got to the club... it was gorgeous.

There were 12 wonderful ladies who came to play today, and four more who came to join in the Present sharing.

The Birthday Trophy results had Sue D in third, Sarah in second and myself in first with 20 points!

There was a breeze but the sun shone too and because of the low sun we had enormously long shadows which we had to keep an eye on! 

The winning Stableford score was mine (yippee!) with 37 points... Sue D was second with 31; Sarah was third with 28 points and Jane was fourth with 27 points. (For the full results click here.)  We took it in turns to choose our Presents from the 'Win and Bring' present array and then the ladies names were pulled out at random.

Many thanks to Di for coming and doing the cards.  
It was also lovely to see Fran, Annie and Ros.

The course was playing well...much softer after all the rain we've had, thanks as always to Mark and the team. 

Tomorrow is the Turkey Trot... next week is a an individual competition but played in threes... only two fun competitions left in 2017!

Cleaning up!

Thursday 14th December

Thursday's weather was so unpleasant we didn't play any golf... in fact at one point the bay window in the Club House shook so violently it looked as though it might break!

Instead we did some work... 

...and coffee was drunk!

Many thanks to Lindsay and Lyn for helping clean the trophies!

There are just a few left to do... 

11 Holes and Christmas Lunch

Saturday 9th December

Well what can I say... all week the winds have been strong; are due to be even stronger tomorrow... and somehow in the midst of it all we had a quiet day today!

Many thanks to Mother Nature!

Sixteen wonderful ladies came to play the 11 hole Stableford, the weather was amazingly still although there was some rather nasty rain from time to time!

Angie, Jayne and Jenny.

The course was in great condition - many thanks to Mark and his team for all their work.

Jayne showing off her... red nose!

Fran putting on the second... 

Hil's and her amazing hat!

Lynne and Pam getting ready to play.

A shy reindeer?

Jeannie and Cool Chris ready for the fray!

Two more cheerful souls.

Chris's fab putt... and I believe Frieda sank hers!

When everyone had finished we dashed off to change and met up at The Field House in Trewellard.

Prize Table

Viv had done us proud and the place was looking wonderful with a gorgeous fire to warm us up in the sitting room and a Bucks Fizz to help us start the celebrations.

What a gorgeous bunch!

The Naughty Table!

The colour coded table?

Having fun!

I wonder what Judy is saying!

The sensible table?

Pam had made us two beautiful table decorations.

She very kindly agreed to give one of them to be auctioned off for the CCAA Charity!

Sue took to the floor and officiated with the bidding... it started low...

but soon Sue D, Judy and Hilary were vying with each other to own the beautiful display!

Hilary came out the winner with a bid of £55!

Brilliant!

Thanks to Pam for offering the arrangement for auction; thanks to Sue D for carrying it out... and huge thanks to Hils for the generous winning bid!

Sue!!!!

It was lovely to all be together, and to have Pat with us (there were 31 of us altogether) - but we missed those who couldn't make it this year; Fi (in Australia), Sarah, Bev and Jane; plus Ruth, Olga and Rosemary and Jan now living in Somerset. 
We missed you.

Chris J entertained us royally as usual and shared some lovely jokes - with an added extra of one from Sue S!

Thank you all for making today so enjoyable.

Viv provided us with a fabulous meal ...I'll leave you with this to make your mouth water again!

Oh yes... the Stableford scores... Fran, Lyn and Jenny all scored 19 points; Hilary, Frieda and Jayne all scored 18!  Sue D and Chris L were just behind with 17 points but there were prizes for everyone!

😊

December Medal

Saturday 2nd December

The final medal of the year!

 It was cloudy, breezy and chilly (though warmer than yesterday) and the sun even came out for a while on the back nine!

There were some beautiful rainbows on show and fortunately we had no rain!

There were only six lovely ladies who played today. Numbers are down with the wonderful Pantomime on at the moment and a really nasty cold and cough taking its toll.

However for those who played the general feeling was that it was better than we expected and it was good to be out.

Our winner was Sue D who beat Di on countback with both of them scoring a nett 79, for the full result click here.

Well done each who played today!

I'm hoping there will be a lot more playing in the 11 hole stableford competition next Saturday before the lunch... 

See you then if not before!
