Away days - Sunday!

Dartmouth!

Wow!

We made it!

Huge thanks to Hilary for booking it over two year's ago...and to Frieda for all her work.

There are lots of pictures to share with you (thank you Sam) so strap in for the ride!

We arrived happily looking forward to our bacon/sausage/egg (delete as appropriate!) bap! How exciting it was to be away together at last. 

Our numbers were down because of Covid infections and we missed you all - we toasted all our absent friends when we got together in the evening for our presentation.

Fortified by our refreshments off we set for our first round at Dartmouth.

This was a team competition, playing in fours except for the first team out (Hils, Antoinette and Frieda) who had a sleeping partner.

The weather was sunny with a little breeze but most of us were glad of our long trousers!

Needless to say we had refreshments on the way round...but were fined for doing so!

An assortment of pictures from the first round... we had nearest the pin for Silver players on the third... 138 yards over water!

This photo is from the second day but shows the challenge of the third!

The fourth fairway has a stream running along the left hand side - a very  challenging par 5!

4th Fairway

The fifth was the chance for the Bronze players to be nearest the pin...not over water this time but surrounded by water!

And some were not happy to see their ball take a swim and were determined to get them back!

Water is a feature of quite a few holes at Dartmouth including the 14th, 15th and 18th!

Lyn playing the 15th

            When our rounds were finished It was warm enough to sit outside on the balcony and enjoy a glass of something... of the five groups who played one group lost 9 balls, two groups lost 8, one 6 and the other group only 3!!

We met up later for our results.

Toasting absent friends.

The scores for the teams ranged from 100 to 114 (three scores to count).

In third place with 104 were Hilary, Ann and Frieda with sleeping partner Sam.

In second place with 109 were Sue S (who birdied the par four second hole!) Sue D, Chris D and Pam.

In first place with 114 were Fi, Fran, Lyn and Sam!

Well played team!

Winning the nearest the pin on the third was Hilary, and on the 5th was Lindsay.

Well played both!

Individually there were some lovely scores, Sue S had 38 points, Fran 36 and Angie 35! 

Great fun today - well done everyone - we enjoyed a lovely meal later and Chris D entertained us with some lovely stories!

Lots of laughter and smiles were shared as we played - how good it was to back on tour!

Frieda also collected fines for extravagant language...drinking...or basically anything.

Most ladies decided to pay up front and then have the freedom to have fun!!!
