Bosullow Bowl

 Bosullow Bowl

Saturday 14th was the Bosullow Bowl. This lovely Trophy that Annie and Tony began back in 1990 is a  mixed greensome off the ladies card.

What a beautiful day we had for it, blue skies and little wind at the start though the breeze picked up a little through the day.

Thirteen pairs were able to play and there were some lovely scores.

In third place (on countback!) were Lindsay and Dave M with a lovely round including 3 pars and two birdies and a score of 43 points.

In second, also with 43 points were Hilary and Rob A with super round of 10 pars and two birdies!! Awesome play off a combined handicap of 11!

In first place with a superb 47 points were Lyn and Alan, with a fab 8 pars and a birdie.

This is such a lovely competition and what a treat to have such fabulous weather. Well played all and congratulations to Lyn and Alan!

League and Knockouts

League

Firstly an update on the league.

Thursday Sept 5th and Saturday Sept 7th saw our final two league matches. The first against The Point which we won 6- 1; the team were Captain Sue, Hilary, Fiona, Fran, Lyn, Lindsay and myself.

 Our final match was against Falmouth who brought a strong team despite one  player being missing. Each match was hard fought and we won that one 6-1 as well. The team were Captain Sue, Claire, Fiona, Lyn, Jayne, myself and Di who in the end didn't have to play.

There were some comments from Mo about the greens but it was a hard fought and great result for Cape.

Apologies for the format of the picture below but it shows the final positions of the teams in Division two!

Huge congratulations to everyone who played this year...

that is our League Captain Sue and ...

Fran who has sorted out all the money, Claire, Di, Fi, Frieda, Hilary, Jayne, Lindsay, Lyn, Ros and myself. 

We go back up to Division 1 where we are likely to be with Carlyon Bay, St Mellion and possibly Bude but their final matches haven't been played yet so that may change.

Many thanks to Sue who had to contend with the difficulties of the horrid weather scuppering several of our later matches and the delay to the start of the season because of the temporary greens. All these things mean numerous phone calls and emails... huge thanks Sue!

Well done all - a brilliant job!

Ladies Pairs Knockout Final

Monday 9th Sept was the final of our ladies pairs knockout which was contested by these lovely ladies - Claire and Chris against Hilary and Fran.

It was a super match, closely fought with some lovely play. 

The match finished on the 16th green with Hilary and Fran winning 3 and 2.

Well played - a lovely match.

Medal and WRVS Trophy and Men's Captains Charity Day

Medal and WRVS Trophy

There were fourteen lovely ladies able to compete in the Medal and WRVS Trophy. It was a bit overcast with a strong easterly wind (for a change) and there were some good scores recorded.

Of course we needed countback ...in third place with a nett 69 was Liz, which included three pars; in second place was Hilary with a nett 69 including 6 pars and a birdie, but our winner was Lyn with a fabulous net 67 including 5 pars and a birdie!

Worthy winner Lyn.

Well played everyone...there were three birdies on the 9th today, Lyn, Hilary and Di, and also one on the second by Fi!

Men's Captain's Charity Day

Six of our ladies were able to play, Claire won longest drive on the 11th and came second; and in first place with an outrageous 42 points was...

...plus winning nearest the pin in two on the 10th!

Among the Seniors Robin S won with an even more outrageous score of 43 points ; and for the men the winner was Brogan also with 43 points!

Super scores for the winners!

It was a lovely day and afterwards we enjoyed a hot dog or burger in a bun with chips and delightful coleslaw. 

There followed an auction and a raffle, altogether over £2000 was raised for the charity - a brilliant total!

Well done to Rob and all his helpers for a lovely day.
