Knockout Entries

Monday, March 23, 2026

Hello!

 Hello again!

Well! it's been a bit of a gap but here we go again for 2026!

The weather has taken its toll our competitions, both in numbers available to play and if they took place at all!

We had four comps in January when about 6 players played each time... our scores were well below our handicap - often the best scores were about 9 or 10 below handicap! 

February weather didn't improve and we just had two comps, 8 played in the first and only 5 in the second. Again our scores were well below what we'd expect except for Frieda who relished the conditions on Valentines day!!

Then we began March and our numbers are beginning to pick up. 

March 7th was the Polglase 1 Medal and 9 players entered. 

Our winner was Lyn with a nett 75; in second came Fi with nett 76 and in third was Hils with a nett 81. Well played all!!

The following Saturday was a stableford which Hils won with 32 points; Frieda was in second with 29 and Claire third on 26.

Then at last we had Sunshine!!

Saturday 21st March was beautiful and was the last Saturday comp with Hils as Captain - 12 of us were able to play. 

Countback was needed of course for the first few places!

Our winner was Sue S with 36 points on countback from Liz!

Third also had to be decided on countback with Fi, me and Hils all having 33 points...and Hils came out on top in that race!!

It was glorious to be out in the sunshine and with hardly any wind!


As you can imagine Thursdays were also seriously impacted by the weather with often only two or three people around to play.


Hopefully this will improve as the weather becomes kinder!

Thursday 9 hole fun! (19th March)


Finally, Sunday 22nd was Trevelyan scramble! Fourteen teams of four played in this mixed Scramble.

The weather was fabulous to start with but along with the blue sky and sunshine was a bit of a chilly wind!

It certainly looked gorgeous!


The course is looking better and better now - the green-keeping team are doing a great job.

Afterwards there was the presentation of the Trophy itself, along with the presentation of a cheque to "withyou" Hils and Norman's charity - and then presentation of various trophies.

Hils and Norman had raised over £4000 for this charity - an amazing amount for a special charity.

The Trevelyan Trophy winners were Frieda's team!!!


And Hils and Norman also awarded the Wills Trophy to the Cape Men's team. A huge achievement! With a special framed photo of the team too. 


Congratulations everyone !
