Club Championships 2026

 Club Championship

Day 1 - the 4th of July

Nine of our lovely ladies were able to play in the Club Champs this year and we were rewarded with decent weather.

It was overcast but very warm and muggy and there was almost no wind!

The course is looking lovely  and actually getting dry as though we were in August!

We played in three groups of three with gaps before and after us which seemed to work quite well.

After the first round, Hilary was in first place with a gross 84, followed by Sam and Fi with gross 89 and me a gross 90. 

That meant that Hils Sam and Fi were in the final group on Sunday. Fran must have a special mention as she had a two on the third...missing a hole in one by inches! Well played Fran!

Day 2

Sunday dawned very like Saturday - perfect conditions for golf and we went out in our new groupings of three.

Once again we had gaps in front of and behind us...the men did eventually catch up but it seemed to work fairly well.

As we completed our rounds we collected by the 18th green and watched our ladies finish.

We then collected the cards and entered them on the computer to keep the results a surprise for most!

It was fabulous to have Sue back to watch the ladies finish the last couple of holes...looking really well too!

When the scores were tallied it was really close for the gross winner...just one shot in it!

Hilary had a total of 171 and Fi was in second with 172! What a contest!

So Hilary is our Club Champion and Fi is our best nett winner  by miles! (Actually by 7 shots from Lindsay!)

Well played you two - super stuff!

Our three best gross scores, 171, 172 and 177!

All of today's players

Well done everyone!

Many thanks to Claire who also presented us all with a ball marker and with special prizes for best nett first round score (not in any other prizes) and that was Frieda!

Claire also presented Gold, Silver and Bronze medals to our winners!

Thank you for a lovely day and thanks Di for bringing Sue over to join us at the end.

PS...the men played too...also very close leading to a play off over one and two between River and Bunchy...the picture tells it all. 

Match against Looe and Cornwall Captains v Devon at Plymouth

Cape v Looe 

The team headed for Looe on Monday for our next match.

It was overcast but pleasant and the team put up a great fight.

We halved the match three and a half games each!

Super well done everyone.

The team this time were Claire, Fi, Fran, Hils, Sam, Ros and myself.

Boringdon Park

The following day was the Past Captains of Cornwall playing Devon under Hils' leadership.

We had a fabulous contest on a great course (Boringdon Park in Plymouth)  with delicious food afterwards...and a win to Cornwall 3.5 to 2.5!

 So a successful day all round!

Boringdon Park first hole

They also had an island green!

It was fairly windy and the 16th green was on a little plateau...dropping off to a pond!

Mel (from Falmouth) parked her trolley up by the green and when we finished the hole she couldn't find it!!!

It had blown off the side of the green and down into the pond!

Oh dear!

Fortunately we managed to retrieve it with team work and though a bit smelly and wet, nothing was damaged!!

It was a lovely day - thanks Hils for all your organising!
