Ladies v Seniors
Congratulations to the Seniors on their win over the Ladies on Thursday... looking at the results there were some amazing score!
How is it possible to score 81 points? Well played Kenny and Geoff! (Where are the scissors?)
I await hearing details!

Frieda and I had a lovely time up at Bradford on Avon for the Regional round of this Competition.
There were 40 pairs of ladies competing and we were out last with a pair from Falmouth!
It actually felt like a local competition as there was no real representation from England Golf. The one lady who was there was from a club in Swindon and she was basically left holding the baby, having to register everyone and point them in the direction of the first tee and sort out problems when folk didn't turn up! There was no starter and nothing to indicate that we were playing in a regional final.
The course itself was very interesting with an abundance of large bunkers! I seemed to put Frieda in an awful lot of them!
It was a parkland course with some water features too, (there were three holes where we had to carry over water).
Our playing partners played very well and were just two points ahead of us at the turn, (19 v 21)
We matched them over most of the back nine, even almost catching them at one point, but they were very steady and came in with a score of 43 points. They came second altogether. The winning team (the local team as is so often the case) had 45 points.
We were very content with 5th!
Frieda is now very good at getting out of beautiful, deep, white-sand bunkers!
She is also hitting absolutely breathtaking drives... one was over 250 yards...and on the final hole she hit a drive about 200 yards UPHILL! She had spotted John and Di standing on the skyline and thought she'd better hit a good one!
It was lovely to have Di there at the start and at the end... and John who organised the B&B and chauffeured. Thanks to them for their support, and all the encouraging WhatsApp messages we received - that was lovely.
Altogether a very enjoyable time just disappointing that England Golf seemed not to care.
