Post-Christmas Catch Up

Post-Christmas Catch Up

Firstly, apologies for the absence of blog posts!  The weather has put paid to our regular competitions and it feels as if we haven't played since our lovely Christmas Lunch Day.

We have had flooded bunkers (now dry) and so much wind!

For the record the Birthday trophy on the 12th didn't happen because of the weather... nor did the Bring and Win on the Saturday. Some of us took a walk down to Cape for some fresh air only to discover this...

The wind had been so strong in the night that it had picked up the National Trust hut and deposited it in the car park entrance!

The following Thursday and the flag competition on the the 21st also did not happen...

                                                                                      The entry in our ladies competition book looks like this... nothing between the 7th December and last Saturday the 28th!                                                                                          Well  done to Jenny and Lyn for their 16 points apiece with Jenny winning on countback.

Hopefully with the turn of the year the weather will improve - we will be keeping our fingers crossed.

Though not golf, December was a busy month with  a fabulous music night with Brendan Cleary and True Foxes Music

... a fun quiz night when Peter almost Played his Cards Right...

...he should have quit at this point, still it'll be a roll-over for next time!

Claire Lucas is exhibiting some of her paintings in the function room... 

...and we had a Christmas Party too!

Many thanks to these guys for all that they're doing...

..and to Leanne and Andy for the new energy they have brought to the club.

Happy New Year everyone!

11 Holes and Christmas Lunch

Saturday Christmas Lunch

Twenty wonderful ladies came and played 11 holes and were then joined by eleven others to share our Christmas lunch - we missed Ros who had family visiting so was not able to come today.

There will be lots of pictures... but first things first... huge thanks to Di for arranging the day - it was super. Tanya, Ash, James and Evie looked after us so well and Jodi and John cooked us an absolutely delicious Christmas dinner.

Thank you each.

The tables were beautifully laid up with crackers and a Victorian mask for each of us to have fun with - and boy did we have fun!

Discovering the masks

I shall leave you to enjoy the pictures!

Outrageous Angie

Jolly Jockey Anne and the alluring Jean - full of eastern promise!

Naughty Annie!

Sophisticated Two: Bev and  Claire!

Chris J regaled us with some fabulous stories followed by a great joke from Sue S!

I must admit I didn't recognise these two... except by their jumpers!

Another oriental treasure - Chris L

Dastardly Di!

Fran bowled us over in this one!

Vivacious Viv and Heroic Vanessa!

There are a some folk who we only have glimpses of... so if any of you have pictures of Sue D and Bronwen,  and maybe Jenny, Lynne and Marion with their masks on then I can add them to the gallery!

As for the golf... 

The course was playing well  as shown by some of the scores! Thanks Mark and team.

Bev and Frieda both had 25 points! Super scoring.

Fran and Marion were runners up with 19 points ... we would have needed countback if it had been an ordinary competition but we were all winners in the end as Di had bought lovely prizes for everyone!

Thanks Di!

As you can see from the above we had a brilliant time! 

Thanks to everyone!

Thursday 6th December

Thursday 6th December

Fourteen wonderful ladies played on Thursday - it was great to have weather which was half-decent!

Our winner with 17 points was Jolly Judy, 

in second (and decided on countback of course) was Super Sue D with 15 points; following close on her heels was Fabulous Frieda also with 15 points!

Well played everyone... our 11 holes and lunch is on Saturday - fingers crossed for good weather!

Saturday 30th November

Saturday 30th Nov

Almost needless to say that Saturday's competition was abandoned before we even started - the weather forecast of gales and heavy rain was spot and we were thankful not to be out on the course.

Of course Sunday was sunny... the men were playing a Frank Wills match at Mullion and the conditions were bright and very cold. The course was wet but looking fantastic - the greens looked pristine but were slow apparently. The match was a win to West Cornwall 3 - 2  a hard fought contest.
