Eggstravaganza

Eggstravaganza!

Wow!

What a difference!

Thursday was almost unplayable... and today...

...it was glorious!

Eighteen gorgeous golfers came to play the Eggstravaganza!

Many thanks to Di for arranging everything and to Lindsay for helping with the set up.

There were (apparently!) Easter eggs hidden on the course and if we found one we would get a reward! Only a few were discovered however so the others may still be out there?

Conditions were perfect and the course was looking lovely - the sunshine of yesterday had clearly helped the greens and they were playing so much better.

Keeping up the energy!

There was some good play going on with lots of pars on the course. Ann, Lindsay, Judy and Ros had two each; our Capt'n Di had 3;  two ladies - Sue D and Lyn -  had 3 pars and a birdie... Claire and Fi had 4 pars and a birdie; I had 5 pars...but none of this could match Hils who had 3 BIRDIES and a par!

  It is almost needless to say that the scores were very close and we had to use countback to separate us!

The prizes today were not monetary but edible!

Yum!

In first place and choosing from the table first,  was Ann, sharing 34 points with Sue D in second.

In third, again using countback was Liz who shared 33 points with Hils!

In positions 5,6 and 7 were Fi, myself and Lyn... you guessed it... all with 31 points.

And so it went on... next both with 30 points were Claire and Lindsay; Ros and Angie shared 28 points... and it continued on!

Well played everyone - it was so good to be out on the course with no wind - unencumbered with layer upon layer of clothes and with the course looking so lovely.

Thanks as always to Mark and Chris for their constant work and to Ashley who welcomes us all with a smile despite everything.

While we were all together Sue D presented the Abbotswood Trophy to Jenny.This is presented to the player with the best scores in our Thursday morning competitions. It was donated by Steve and Sue D, and Jenny was the inaugural winner by a considerable margin.

Well played Jenny.

Di also gave the results of the Winter Eclectic.

The Best Gross was won by Fi with a gross 73!

The Nett prizes were also awarded.

In the B group the winner was Angie with a Nett 72.75

In the A group, in fourth place was Lindsay with a nett 69.5

in 3rd was Frieda with a nett 69.25,

in 2nd place with a nett 68 was Sue D

and in 1st place was yours truly with a nett 66!

Well played all. We are beginning to get busy now with matches, knockouts, friendlies, league and Tuesday evenings... not to mention any trips to other clubs we may have planned.

It almost feels like the start of the golfing year - so good luck everyone!

May we have sunshine and still wind from here on in!  

(Well, you can always dream!)

PS Another reminder... there was an adder crossing the 17th fairway today...so keep alert.
