Lady Captain's Charity Open

 Lady Captain's Charity Open 

also known as Beware The Injured Golfer!

What an absolutely glorious day - thank you Mother Nature! Even the bunker was celebrating with a pretty pattern in the sand!

There were 45 ladies entered into this Charity Open competition with a lovely number of visiting ladies. 

We had a group from Falmouth; three teams from our Looe friends and then also several mixed teams with ladies from Cape playing with ladies from Tehidy, Mullion, West Cornwall and Perranporth. Fabulous to see so many players from different clubs.

It was a lovely turnout and the weather was perfect, though dare I say a little too warm on the 15th up the hill? (Although maybe that's an age thing!)

There was very little breeze - the sea was still and we had almost unbroken sunshine! What a difference from last weekend.

On  the 4th and the 12th we were reliant on Messrs Polglase and Nicholls for ball spotting! Seeing the umbrella being raised is always such a welcome sight! Thanks guys - a great job!!

Results

One of the teams from Looe won the best visitors prize with 75 points; this team of Margaret, Hermione and Penny included the only lady on the day who got a 2! Well played Penny!

Looe team winning best visitors!

In fact four teams came in with 75 points so our favourite Cape pastime of 'counting back' came into play!

The winner of the Nearest the Line on the 10th was Elsa from Tehidy. Well played Elsa!

Elsa - Straightest drive winner

The nearest the pin in two was won by Lis J from West Cornwall, she says she was "on the green for one and just missed the birdie putt!"

Well played Lis!

                The three winning teams brought in scores in the 80s!

In third place with a fabulous 82 were Antoinette, Fi and Jayne - their score included 9 pars and 3 birdies! Well played you three!

3rd place Fi, Jayne and Ann

In second place with 84 points were Lindsay, Lyn and myself - this round included 16 pars!

         Now for the explanation for the subtitle Beware the Injured Golfer.

Our winning team, with a fabulous 86 points, were Claire, Fran and Ros - all of whom have been injured on and off over the last month or so. 

Super well played with 11 pars and two birdies!

The full results are on Masterscoreboard (thanks again Di).

There was also a fabulous raffle with an amazing first prize of flights to Scilly (winner Mike Hattam). This raffle raised £630 which along with the entry money raised a total of £852 for Sarah's local charities! Incredible - well done Sarah!

And also a huge well done to all involved in the fundraising effort, supplying lovely raffle prizes, selling tickets, buying tickets, inviting friends etc. 

There are many a thank-you to be given; 

to Sarah for organising the day; to Di  for the results and who prepared all the cards (with handicaps and adjustments ready to confirm for folk); to the green-keepers - the course is looking amazing; to the spotters with their umbrellas; to the staff at Cape for serving us out on the terrace with a lovely curry and cake and last but certainly not least to Leanne and Andy whose support for Cape is the basis of everything we do. 

Thank you!
