Eggstravaganza

Saturday 31st March

Fifteen lovely ladies played in today's Eggstravaganza.

Sue provided us all with Easter eggs to take out with us... and Chris L had prepared a Treasure Hunt.

We each chose a card (blind, so we didn't see the writing), and the card gave us all two holes where we could double our points. Each card was different and we chose at random - it was a great idea for the competition. 

Conditions were not easy, it was very cold with a brisk northerly wind. Ros, Di and Chris did 9 holes, (it was great to have Di back out on the course) and the remainder continued to the bitter end!

As always, looking at the cards was interesting. Jayne must get a mention for a 4 for 4 on the 14th! Well done!

 Bev got 3 pars and she birdied the 14th! 

Fran and Sue D both had 4 pars... and I must mention Frieda who had a run of five 3 pointers! Great play!

While we played the front 9 we had quiz questions to answer.

For those who weren't there... here they are... (although it was slightly easier for us as Chris gave us a choices of answers for the 2nd, 3rd and 6th questions).

"Comet par" is an anagram of which hole?

On the western side of Cape there is a cove - what is its name? 

If your ball hits your opponent's bag...what is the penalty? 

What is the nickname of The Brisons?

"Garbled shot" is an anagram of which hole?

What is the height of Cape Cornwall?

What 3 animals are associated Easter?

And then we had to do some sums!!! 

All while we're playing!!!!

We had to add.... the number of days in lent; the number of par 4s at Cape; the yardage of hole 9; how many days until Christmas, and the stroke index of hole 7.

We were also allowed a final treat - of doubling out score on the 15th (IF you scored of course!!!)

Despite the wind and cold hands we all managed to complete the quiz, and Chris and Sue had lovely prizes for us.

Winning the quiz were Lyn and Bev; and Lindsay, Ros and yours truly.  

Eggstravaganza!

To the golf itself... 

a huge well done to our winner Bev who scored 36 points! 

Excellent work today!

Frieda was second with 34 points - super stuff, especially on that back 9 where 20 points were scored despite two blobs!

Countback was needed for third place... and it was between Fran and Sue D, both with 33 points...

...and it was Sue who ran out winner!

Well done all, many thanks to Sue and Chris for organising!

Happy Easter!

Next week is a medal!
