Coronation Foursomes and Aussie Spoons Area Finals.

Area Finals

Tuesday was the area final for the Coronation Foursomes held at Yeovil. Lindsay and I were representing Cape and probably did a better job on our practice round than on the competition round. 

The course itself is lovely and we did have a breeze which was very welcome in the heat.

There are some really interesting holes including the one below...which though it doesn't show in the picture has a big drop from the tee to the green! A fabulous hole.

For some unknown reason we were  annoyingly the final group out, playing in the hottest part of the day! 

Anyway, enough of the excuses, we didn't play well at the start but had a decent back 9 and came in with 31 points.

The winning score was 44 points from a team with handicaps of 1.8 and 16.1! A brilliant combination as they parred and birdied their way round 12 holes of the course, and were one over on each of the other 6!

That's fabulous golf!

We were 34th out of 65 teams and were a bit frustrated and disappointed feeling we hadn't done ourselves justice...but that's golf!

Maybe no practice round next time!!!

Aussie Spoons

Then on Thursday Hils and Fran were up at Honiton for the Aussie spoons area final. 

There were 26 teams entered and FRan and Hils scored 36 points - playing to handicap - great on a new course. The winning score was an outrageous 46 points!

Well done all. The heat hasn't made playing easy although as Frieda says we shouldn't complain after the awful winter we had!
