Were you tempted?

Thursday Back 9

Were you tempted to play on Thursday? 

What weather! 

The temperature was 4C in the car as I drove down to Cape through the rain and wind... I for one was not going to be out on the course!

Lindsay and Pam arrived at the same time, Pam brought her beautiful arrangement of flowers for Presentation Night/AGM and we had a nice coffee together before she had to leave.

Lindsay and I then tackled the trophy cabinet with silvo and old rags! 

The trophies are sparkling - ready for presentation to their worthy winners on Friday!

🏆🏆

Well Done!

January Medal

Cloud, mizzle, drizzle, rain, drizzle, dry, mizzle, dry, rain, drizzle...

what a day! 

Umbrella, up then down then back up again!

 It was not easy out there today!

In fact all of us struggled (14 ladies played) with only two ladies breaking 100! Well played to Sue D who won with a nett 75, and to Fran for a nett 78.

In third was Jane and Lindsay was fourth.

It was great to see Chris J out playing her first 18 holes for 6 months - you didn't choose an easy day!

It was also lovely to see Chris L and Anne who came in for coffee afterwards, and super to see Di looking so well!

Many thanks to all who played today... several said it was not the most enjoyable round of golf... apart from the company! Cape Ladies are Special!

For the full result click here.

Next Friday is Presentation Evening... please let the Bar staff know if you're able to come so that they can cater for the correct numbers.

Next Saturday is the AGM starting at 9.15 with an informal 11 hole Roll Up afterwards.

PS   On Thursday morning and today, we were talking about mending pitchmarks...  below is the diagram of the best way to do it for the health of the green...

New Year

Happy New Year!

Thursday morning saw 14 lovely ladies playing the Old Front Nine. It was cloudy and still... all the layers we put on in preparation for the cold were not essential... and coats were shed at times!

The course is looking fabulous - Mark was tining the greens and rather than have him following along behind us we decided to start on 3 and play the old front nine.

This drive on the 5th resulted in a two!

Good scores were returned; in the 'A' group  Lyn and yours truly both scored 18 with Lyn winning easily on countback;

in the 'B' group Frieda was second with 15 points and Liz won with 16!

Well played all.

It was lovely to be back out on the course and to see everyone again after all the festivities! Well done Jayne and Lyn for a fabulous birdies on the 10th and Sue D for 4 pars in her round!

 It is great to know that Di is doing well and we hope to see her at the club soon.

🏆

A reminder that it is a medal on Saturday, with a Stableford for the 'B' group.

After Saturday's golf there will be the final committee meeting before the AGM.

It will be the Back 9 on Thursday next week (12th)

🏆

On Friday it is Presentation Evening (13th)

This is £15 for a two course meal; 7 for 7.30pm and it will be lovely to see as many as can make it.

The following day - Saturday 14th at 9am is our Ladies AGM with 11 holes of golf after - again, it would be lovely to have as many as possible there.

Mince Pie Thursday

Front 9

Today we played the front 9 and rounded off the morning with Mince Pies and coffee.

The weather was lovely, though the wind was a bit of a surprise.

The Kestrel (still in need of a name) was on the 6th/7th today...

It was lovely to see everyone plus those who came for coffee... 

Some were hiding behind shades... you will have to ask Sue in person for her story but I think that the true story is that Santa's sleigh bumped into her...

Add your own Caption!!!

Thanks to Viv for the lovely book of photos from Fun day and the Christmas lunch. I love your captions!

  I'll bring it with me next time we play so you can all have a look. 😊

Santa's little helper... 

Thanks to Di for doing the cards... and best wishes for tomorrow... 

The results from today were as follows...  Frieda won the B Group - well played;

Jayne was third in the A group, with Fran and Ruth tied on 15 points for first and second with yours truly just pipping Fran on countback!

Happy Christmas everyone - I usually manage to escape from pictures but today Sue S insisted... 

Our next organised golf is Saturday 31st... with a Roll Up from 9.30; 

although some folk may play next Thursday....  maybe see you then.

 

Bring and Win!

Bring and Win

Firstly, welcome back Jane!  It's lovely to have you back with us... and what a great round you and your playing partner had! More of which in a mo...

Secondly... I'm sorry to say that I forgot to take pictures!!! 

Except for our friendly Kestrel on the fourth!

Perhaps we should name him... ?

Sixteen ladies played today and Rosemary, Anne and Di came and joined us for coffee and presents.

It was lovely to see everyone and pass on greetings from Ros and Sonia too. 

We miss you!

The weather today was fabulous... perfect for golf and some great golf was played.

The winner was Fran with 39 (and two blobs!!!!). This means a handicap cut to 19... well played Fran!

Her round included two birdies (the fourth and the tenth) and four pars... one of which was the sixth!  

In second was Sue with a lovely 35 - including 5 pars; and in third was Jane who had partnered Fran on her round. Jane scored 34 including 4 pars... 

There were four more players with scores in the thirties...

Everyone collected a prize, these ranged from things to be eaten, drunk, worn, planted, washed in, lit... and some others! 

Thank you everyone for making today fun - George provided us with soup and sandwich which proved popular as usual.

Thanks to Hilary and Di for doing the cards... party tonight... Xmas Trot tomorrow... and mince pies next Thursday - hope to see you then.

If you'd like to stand for the committee next year the nominations sheet is up on noticeboard. 

Just because..

How fortunate we are to live in this beautiful place... 

Birthday Trophy

The Birthday Trophy

The Birthday Trophy was first awarded in 1992...since then, ladies by the name of Sue, Sonia,Judy, Julia, Pat, Pam, Val, Anne, Jean, Lyn, Fiona, Doris, Ros, Lindsay and Ruth have won it. Some names appear more than once!

Val has won it three times.. and one even appears 4 times -  Sue D!  What a record!

The weather turned out lovely...

a cloudy start gave way to blue sky and a bit of a breeze!


No complaints!








There were eight excellent ladies who played today and despite the kind weather none found it easy.


Sue D was second and winning with 16 points, two lost balls and two blobs was yours truly!

Thanks to Di for doing the cards... and Rosemary for seeing us off!

Marker post at the back of the 14th green.

Talking to Mark today he said he is battling with the birds and rabbits... especially on the 2nd and 4th Greens.







We  had a bit of a fly past today... first an RAF jet flying south, then a Hercules flying North very low... and then, as we were leaving, a bright yellow Electricity helicopter which seemed to be lurching around all over the place... but apparently it was following the wires!

The Birthday Trophy

PS... I called in at Stone's on the way home... they had been overrun by Cape ladies fighting over the Turkish Delight! Hehehe! Or perhaps it should be Hohohohoho!

Bring and Win on Saturday... don't forget your gifts!
