 Bingo Bango Bongo

Looks can be deceptive...

...the blue sky and sparkling sea are hiding a strong (and fairly cool) wind!

Bingo Bango Bongo... we were so glad it wasn't a medal!

Saturday 10th October saw seventeen lovely ladies who entered this competition. We played in threes bar one group of two.

And what a laugh everyone seems to have had.

The format basically takes out any worry about getting to the green and makes you focus on the short game.

We did need to avoid what Captain Sarah described as rose fertiliser... 

(horses had escaped from their field on Thursday (I think) and Mark and his team had spent some time mending hoof marks on the 8th and 9th greens. They had done a brilliant job.

The ones below were some light ones on the fairway!

Back to the competition... points are given for being first on to the green; being closest to the hole when everyone is on; and for being the first to hole their putt (playing in correct order of furthest away goes first).

Several ladies admitted to discovering tactics after a few holes... and it certainly made for a lot of fun.

This was Angie and Chris L stepping out the distances to see who should be first to putt!!!

Usually the scores are very close... but there were two outstanding scores of 26 and 24!

There were two with 21; three had 19; there were an 18, 17 and 16 and the five of us on 14!

Apparently...two ladies laughed so much on the first 11 holes they had no energy left to continue!

Anyway... our winner was Chris L with Sue D in second.

Antoinette pipped Liz to third place (on countback of course) then Jayne, Fran and Sue S followed with 19.

The wind made playing extremely challenging and we were indeed glad that the number of shots we took to get on the green weren't counted!

Next week is our Captain's Charity day... lets have just as much fun then!
