Demise of the Giblets
 |
| Gorgeous Cape |
Today was the fourth attempt at running the Godolphin Goblets Competition (predictive text called it Giblets in a WhatsApp message and it seems quite appropriate for this year!)
The wind was so strong it made playing extremely difficult; the decision was taken to stop after 9 holes... and leave the Goblet competition for this year.
There was a lovely turnout of 18 ladies to face the 50mph gusts - well done everyone who took it on!
As we reached the 7th green Judy and I were on opposite sides of the fairway... this happened to my trolley...
...and Judy was facing the same thing on her side...
...I turned back to right my trolley and put it somewhere safe and when I looked back to see how Judy was doing she was standing on the wall behind the green with arms outstretched 'looking' out to sea - what on earth? Had she played her shot and lost the ball?

| Spot the scorecard! |
No...she was looking for the scorecard which had whipped out from her holder and taken off across the green - it flew the hedge and eventually settled in the bracken and gorse below the path to the fourth!
Bye-bye card!
The most popular score today (half the players) was 9 points...proof positive how tricky the conditions were.
Four ladies had twelve points so countback was needed to split them... in fourth place was Captain Sue and in third was Fabulous Fi.
In second place with 13 points was Lovely Lyn and in first place with a lucky 15 points was Rascal Ruth with the errant scorecard!
Shot of the day was awarded to Liz for chipping in for a 6 for 2 on the 2nd hole!

Well done all... Holman Trophy tomorrow - similar conditions are forecast!
Wednesday evening we're meeting at Pam's (thanks Pam) to have a look at the New Rules for 2019
