Hilary and Norman's Powerplay

Powerplay Trophy

What a wonderful day!

And look what we found on our 9 hardest holes!

Two flags!

Today it was Hilary and Norman's Powerplay Trophy and conditions were perfect.

This time last year Cape had torrential rain and the contest was reduced to play over 9 holes... what a different story today!

The course is running fast and it puts questions in our minds as to which club to select!

We were able to choose 3 of the Powerplay holes to boost our scores... doubling the score if we had a 3-pointer or better!

It is amazing what the mind does to us... when the pressure was on we missed putts and drives... with no pressure we parred holes!

This is a great competition to test our mental strength!

Mine was so good(!) that on the 16th... which I had nominated as a Powerplay hole... I did an air-drive!

I hit the ground about a foot behind the ball...the club jumped up in the air and completely missed the ball...leaving it sat happily on the tee! There were witnesses too... Fi and Jayne can vouch for it! That put paid to extra Powerplay points for me on there!

However... some didn't have this problem... Ros came in with 44 points and was in third place! Well played!

Countback was needed to decide the winner... both Fran and Di had 45 points... and Di was our winner!

Well played everyone, and many thanks to Hils and Norman for sponsoring this competition.

Many thanks too for the very welcome refreshments before the 12th... your sausage rolls remain delicious!

Well played everyone!
