When the Wind Blows

Thursday Back 9

When the wind blows... 

40 mph gusts today at Cape... and yet we still venture forth!

Well done everyone!

We had assumed (rather foolishly as it turns out) that the holes from 12 onward would be sheltered from the strong south-easterly...   they weren't!

And playing up the 18th was nigh on impossible! None of us scored on it!

However, despite the wind there were some good individual moments... Sue D parred the 15th while the rest of us struggled (Liz, Ros and Lynne were the only other ones to score on that hole!)

Jean hit a wonder drive on the 14th...

Jean's drive on 14!

...it bounced on the bridge twice and sped to a lovely position on the fairway! She scored a 5 for 4 points on that hole!

Judy parred the 17th for four points and Liz parred the 12th for four points too.

The winner in the B group today was Angie, and the A group winner was Liz!

Well done both!

Sue D and I fought over second place with Sue pipping me on countback!

A huge well done to everyone who played today - apparently it does us good! 

Daily Mail Foursomes

Finally, Judy and I played two ladies from Perranporth on Tuesday in the Daily Mail Foursomes. It was not the easiest of rounds despite the benign weather and unfortunately we lost on the 15th; we had given it our best shot. 

Many thanks to Sue S and Chris L who came over to support us (against instructions!), it really did cheer us and for a while we hit some great shots!

Thanks guys!

Don't forget... Adders are around, they have been spotted on the 6th in the usual spot along the hedge.
