Australian Spoons

 Australian Spoons

The forecast had heavy rain from 10 o'clock but somehow or other we ended up with almost non stop sunshine!

Ten pairs entered the the foursomes competition and we were so grateful to start and finish in the dry!

The bluebells on the 4th are looking so lovely!

In our group we certainly had some fun! It began in earnest on the 3rd hole when Frieda was about to take the second shot on the third hole. Liz's drive had ended up on the edge of the men's tee, a little behind and to the side of the white tee marker.

Frieda asked if she could move the tee marker and I said no as I believed we are not allowed to move tee markers. This is incorrect! You are not allowed to move tee markers of the tee that you are playing from... but if you end up on another tee then the markers are a moveable obstruction. 

Huge apologies to Frieda for the wrong info... but it resulted in a spectacular moment!

Frieda hit the ball...it hit the tee marker and flew left, high over the bungalow garden, hit the wall on the far side and launched itself either down that track or possibly back into the bungalow garden beyond! We'd never seen anything like it!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Our fun and games continued, another example is this picture!                                                                                          This is the wall across the 13th! The drive decided it was going in and not coming out again!

However the 13th was also remarkable for another reason. Liz had driven the ball to just above the wall, and Frieda stepped up to chip it on to the green.

When we got there we couldn't find the ball.

After beginning our search for it Liz suddenly said...it's in the hole!

What a two!  

And a two for 5 points!

I'm sure there were special moments for other players too. We certainly had bags of fun!

It wasn't really a surprise to us to find Frieda and Liz had turned out as winners. They both played really well and deserved their win.

How lucky we were to play in sunshine with just a breeze blowing.
