Saturday 11 holes and lunch

 11 Holes and Christmas Lunch

Saturday dawned very cold, icy and with occasional showers. The order of play was adjusted and we had already reduced the round to 9 holes. We were playing Bingo, Bango, Bongo with the additional Bungo!

Suitably attired!

The Bungo addition to the format means that everyone that ends up on the fairway with their drive gets a point... so there are more points on offer!

We delayed the start a bit as there was black ice on the roads and we wanted everyone who wanted to have time to come if they could make it. 

In the end there were 18 players which was brilliant, but we had the reminder of how risky these conditions can be with an upturned car on the corner near Leswidden, Fran and Brian's car sliding gently down their hill in Newlyn and Chris D slipping on black ice on the pavement - ouch!

But, we managed to play and there was laughter ringing across the course as folk got quite competitive!

Once back in we warmed up by the roaring fire and some had a mulled wine.

Then we had our Christmas lunch - it was lovely to all be together again with everyone looking so festive.

Frieda had a lovely gift for us all and also gifts for the first 5 places.

Of course we needed countdown to separate people with four of our number on 15 points - Frieda, Jayne, Liz and Antoinette!

In second place was Super Sue S with 16 points - Sue was the only one of us achieve the almost impossible feat of four points on one hole...brilliant Sue!

And our fabulously attired worthy winner was our Happy Hils with 17 points!

Despite some folk having doubts about the format before they started it seems to have been enjoyed by all.

It was a lovely day - thank you Frieda for our gifts and all your hard work.

We missed Marion, Sue D and Di and also Viv who had hoped to come but had to withdraw at the last minute.

Hopefully we can have lots more get-togethers like this in the coming year.
