Mixed tee competition

Red or Blue Tee Competition

Sarah had invited us to play a mixed tee competition today. We could play off the Red or Blue tees and had to mark whichever one we were using on the card.

We then needed to work out Course Handicap and Strokes received and off we set.

It turned out that I was the only one playing off the Blue Tees but we are pleased to report that the system works (entering scores and handicap adjustments etc).

You can't see it ...but ask Frieda about the 'floating' boat!

There were eleven ladies who were able to play - we still have a lot away, or injured or unable to be here - it'll be good when we have everyone playing again.

The overcast and drizzly forecast came to nothing and we had warm sunshine and almost no breeze till we got towards the end of the round.

The course is looking fabulous.

Playing the blue tees shortens the holes  (some by more than others) but also it changes the par on 9 of the holes which makes it a real challenge. There is an adjustment made to handicap to offset this when we enter the scores on the system.

As we began the back 9 a mist started to drift in, but it came to nothing.

Frieda ready for her drive on the 12th...

...what a shot!

The sea mist lasted minutes and was gone!

Captain!

We really were fortunate with the weather.

In first place with a fabulous 39 points was Antoinette! Great score.

I was second with adjustments made for playing from the Blue tees and Fi and Bron had to be separated on countback to decide third place.

Overall Position	Player	Score	Placing	Countback
1	Richards, Antoinette	39 pts (25)	Overall Winner
2	Bowers, Ruth	35 pts (17)	Overall Runner-Up
3	Grose, Fiona	33 pts (16)	Overall 3rd	Last Nine Holes

Well done everyone!
