Thursday 16th and Saturday 18th January 2020 and Presentation Night

Thursday 16th

Rain and strong winds put paid to golf today but some of took advantage of the pool and gym for a little fitness and wellbeing!

Saturday 18th January

Eighteen wonderful women wended their way round the course today playing a Stableford competition.

There was a breeze blowing but it was absolutely beautiful out there with glorious sunshine.

Our golf did not do the weather justice but considering how little we have played over the last few months I guess we shouldn't really be surprised.

Countback was needed to decide third and fourth places with Fran gaining 3rd and Lyn fourth using the last 9 holes. They both scored 28 points.

In second was New Captain Sarah with 29 points and our winner was Claire with 32!

There were no handicap adjustments.

Overall Position	Player	Score	Placing	Countback				Revised Handicap
1	Hosking, Claire	32 pts (18)	Overall Winner					18.4
2	Blight, Sarah	29 pts (27)	Overall Runner-Up					26.6
3	Polglase, Fran	28 pts (20)	Overall 3rd	Last Nine Holes				19.5
4	Lugg, Lyn	28 pts (19)						18.9
5	Brown, Hilary	26 pts (14)						13.5
6	Dicker, Sue	25 pts (12)						12.2
7	Cape, Angela	24 pts (45)		Last Nine Holes				44.5
8	Thomas, Rosalie L	24 pts (26)		Last Nine Holes				25.7
9	Leiworthy, Christine	24 pts (29)		Last Nine Holes				28.9
10	James, Christine A	24 pts (26)						26.1

                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Well done everyone, what a joy to be out on the course in beautiful weather and in such charming company!

Events are beginning again at Cape  with a quiz night on Tuesday (food for £6.50 first if you'd like it) and then there is a Peter Gorton night in February and a Valentines night with Leanne and Andy the following evening - details below.

All welcome - valentines or not!

Twelve lovely ladies played in the medal today - what a way to start the year!
We had sunshine and drizzly showers, a bit of a breeze and several glorious rainbows!

Thanks Bron for the picture!

Considering the weather over the last few months the course was surprisingly good. Considering how little we have played over the last few months some of the golf was surprisingly good too!

Well played Sarah, Claire and Jenny who all played within their buffer zones!

Sarah was third with a nett 77 (with pars on the 7th and the 9th)

Claire was second on countback with a nett 74 ( with a birdie on the 9th and pars on 2,4,6 and 12)

In first place, also with a nett 74 was Jenny who played steadily the whole round - well played Jenny!

The rest of us followed along behind  but it was great to be out on the course and playing again.

Thanks to Di and Lindsay for the card and eclectic marking!

Well played all... Presentation evening next Friday and the Ladies AGM is on Saturday followed by 11 holes.

New Year!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year all!

2020!   

It doesn't seem long ago that 1984 loomed as an almost impossible future date!  Now it's 2020 - let's hope this year brings us peace, contentment and good health alongside lots of fun on the golf course. 

The first Thursday morning for the ladies was rather grey, damp and very windy.

There were six stoic ladies who played. Two others (Chris and myself) just played two holes and found that to be enough!

 Well done those who soldiered on and who generally commented it "wasn't as bad as all that..." but hedge backwards and dragging were also words bandied about!

In the end we had to use countback to separate first and second places (no change there then!) Angie was second with 15 points and she was just pipped to first place by Marion! Well played girls!

In fact, well done everyone who played. It was great to see Ros out playing; Lindsay who  came for a swim and Jean who came for coffee later.

Happy New Year!

Post-Christmas Catch Up

Post-Christmas Catch Up

Firstly, apologies for the absence of blog posts!  The weather has put paid to our regular competitions and it feels as if we haven't played since our lovely Christmas Lunch Day.

We have had flooded bunkers (now dry) and so much wind!

For the record the Birthday trophy on the 12th didn't happen because of the weather... nor did the Bring and Win on the Saturday. Some of us took a walk down to Cape for some fresh air only to discover this...

The wind had been so strong in the night that it had picked up the National Trust hut and deposited it in the car park entrance!

The following Thursday and the flag competition on the the 21st also did not happen...

                                                                                      The entry in our ladies competition book looks like this... nothing between the 7th December and last Saturday the 28th!                                                                                          Well  done to Jenny and Lyn for their 16 points apiece with Jenny winning on countback.

Hopefully with the turn of the year the weather will improve - we will be keeping our fingers crossed.

Though not golf, December was a busy month with  a fabulous music night with Brendan Cleary and True Foxes Music

... a fun quiz night when Peter almost Played his Cards Right...

...he should have quit at this point, still it'll be a roll-over for next time!

Claire Lucas is exhibiting some of her paintings in the function room... 

...and we had a Christmas Party too!

Many thanks to these guys for all that they're doing...

..and to Leanne and Andy for the new energy they have brought to the club.

Happy New Year everyone!

11 Holes and Christmas Lunch

Saturday Christmas Lunch

Twenty wonderful ladies came and played 11 holes and were then joined by eleven others to share our Christmas lunch - we missed Ros who had family visiting so was not able to come today.

There will be lots of pictures... but first things first... huge thanks to Di for arranging the day - it was super. Tanya, Ash, James and Evie looked after us so well and Jodi and John cooked us an absolutely delicious Christmas dinner.

Thank you each.

The tables were beautifully laid up with crackers and a Victorian mask for each of us to have fun with - and boy did we have fun!

Discovering the masks

I shall leave you to enjoy the pictures!

As for the golf... 

The course was playing well  as shown by some of the scores! Thanks Mark and team.

Bev and Frieda both had 25 points! Super scoring.

Fran and Marion were runners up with 19 points ... we would have needed countback if it had been an ordinary competition but we were all winners in the end as Di had bought lovely prizes for everyone!

Thanks Di!

As you can see from the above we had a brilliant time! 

Thanks to everyone!

Thursday 6th December

Thursday 6th December

Fourteen wonderful ladies played on Thursday - it was great to have weather which was half-decent!

Our winner with 17 points was Jolly Judy, 

in second (and decided on countback of course) was Super Sue D with 15 points; following close on her heels was Fabulous Frieda also with 15 points!

Well played everyone... our 11 holes and lunch is on Saturday - fingers crossed for good weather!

Saturday 30th November

Saturday 30th Nov

Almost needless to say that Saturday's competition was abandoned before we even started - the weather forecast of gales and heavy rain was spot and we were thankful not to be out on the course.

Of course Sunday was sunny... the men were playing a Frank Wills match at Mullion and the conditions were bright and very cold. The course was wet but looking fantastic - the greens looked pristine but were slow apparently. The match was a win to West Cornwall 3 - 2  a hard fought contest.
