First League Match of the Year

 Cape v China Fleet

Early Wednesday morning 7 of our ladies were heading up the A30 through horrid drizzle for our first League match of the year.

We all arrived in good time and had coffee and some had a snack before we started play!

5 of our ladies received shots, it was just Hils that had to give shots!

By the time we teed off  we were blessed with glorious sunny weather and we were all in our tee shirts! The course was damp in places so it was winter rules... and they had had lots of rain overnight so several bunkers were GUR along with areas of the course where new pipe work had been installed. 

The course was busy so we all had some waiting to do but all in all it wasn't really a problem. In general the course was in great condition, including the velvet-like greens.

Sorry there are no pics...I'd left my phone in the locker room!

China Fleet is a long course with some fascinating and challenging holes...several of us left balls in the lake!!! 

It was a very close match. Two games went to Cape; two were all square after 18 and we lost three, so China Fleet ran out winners 4 games to 3. Such a close match!

Well played the whole team and many thanks to those who drove. Our next match is also away, this time at Carlyon Bay so not such a long journey!

Roll on game number two!!

Thursday 24th April

This was 5 clubs and a putter but because of the match the previous day there were just four players who had the energy to play so they played an informal front nine holes.
