Sydney Grose and League match v Point

 Sydney Grose

Saturday 18th saw the playing of the Sydney Grose Trophy. This is a singles stableford competition and we played once more in hot sunny weather with a nice breeze.

The course is so dry and looking like it has done in the past in August! We could do with some gentle overnight rain...I stress the overnight as its been lovely to have had settled weather for quite a while!

The one drawback of this dryness is that on several holes it makes finding the ball almost impossible because it has bounced and run so far - particularly on the 3rd and 5th, but also on some of the others.

However, despite these challenges we had some nice scores in. Lyn and Frieda in third and fourth both with 35 points; Ros in second with 37 points and our well deserved winner Fi with a lovely 38 points.

Fi our winner today!

Presented by Fran who was standing in for our Captain Claire.

Well played everyone, it was challenging!

Match v The Point

Claire had requested some spotters to help us out in our match on Sunday because of the experience of the last few days and the challenges of 3, 5 and 11 in particular.

We were so appreciative of these extra pairs of eyes! Many thanks to Lindsay, Di, Brian P and John P. you were so needed!

Cape won the match 6 -1! Well done team! 

It was lovely to have Sue with us at the start and providing our bananas!

The team were Claire, Hils, Fiona, Fran,  Frieda, Sam and me.

We only have two matches left now, both against Carlyon Bay - one away and our final match at home. 

Many thanks to everyone involved today including the lovely food when we had finished.
