Well done to Neil and Oban Robinson, winning with 38 pts.

After many emails to and fro the might of the Seniors took on the cream of the Juniors. We were slightly concerned at the forecast but Maria Buckley’s prayers were effective and the whole day went off with no more than the odd raindrop.Kevin Burton. Maria presented Liam with the cup and chocs to share with his triumphant team. Observing and hearing of the play from the Juniors throughout the day leads me to believe that the future of golf at St Enodoc is assured. The match was played in a great spirit and I hope that this becomes a regular fixture once again. Neal Jolly Seniors Vice Captain
The first two matches were halved leading to a sense of optimism in the Seniors which was quickly dampened by two losses. Match 5 saw Richard Palmer record a rare win on the Holywell but the Juniors’ overall win was sealed by Oben and Eva who also won a prize for the biggest win margin of 4 and 3. Jerry Taylor and John Bower secured a modicum of respectability with the Seniors’ biggest win margin, also 4 and 3. The overall result was Juniors 4 Seniors 3 with nearest the pin prizes on the 12th being secured by the respective section captains, Liam Bateman andAbove Left – RightKai Dingle, Tom Richards, Teo De Boer, Ollie Allen, Jasper Hawes, Matthew Warren, Eva Newman, Holly Justice, Natasha Gadney, Sienna Gadney, Ralph Justice, Alfie Chapman, Mara Harbour and Eben Buchanan.Winners of the 18 hole Texas Scramble.1st Alfie Chapman, Holly Justice & Sienna Gadney – 49pts2nd Kai Dingle, Eva Newman & Matthew Warren – 50pts3rd Ollie Allen, Tom Richards & Jasper Hawes – 52pts4th Teo De Boer, Ralph Justice & Natasha Gadney. – 61ptsWinners of the 13 hole Texas Scramble.Maria Buckley, Eben Buchanan & Mara Harbour – 26pts

Every year Laura gives a day’s coaching to the Surrey Girls, Holly was lucky 4 years ago, this time in her 15 minutes Laura was impressed how straight Holly hit her 7 iron and then showed her how to hit high, low, a draw and a fade to get herself out of difficult situations.
Well done to these “hardy” nine Juniors for completing all 18 holes. Not only battling against each
other in a medal cup competition, but the howling wind, torrential rain, sunshine and then a
hailstorm as they were all on the last few holes!

I feel as each year goes by, the challenge isn’t to play in this competition, but to actually get it played due to the weather! Thankfully this year, although we did have some rain, all nine teams of three, battled it out playing a Texas scramble and, at the back, we had a few of our new juniors without handicaps playing a Texas scramble for fun and experience. Alfie Brown with Suzie Willmott and dad Keith Willmott played Kath Biddle, Rob Pywell with his son Ned Pywell. Alfie’s team beat Ned’s team by 1 point.
The scores this year were incredibly close with 4 teams coming in with 57 points and only 4 points between the last and the first. Well done to everyone.
Last year it was Dad, Kristian Godfrey in the winning team but this year, Grandad, Keith Godfrey takes his place and for the 2nd year running. The Godfrey’s are the Winners with 57 points on countback.
2nd: Marie De Boer, Teo De Boer and Tony Rounsevell 57pts
3rd: Penny Moon, Samuel Hinsley and David Hinsley 57pts
4th: Sue Richards, Tom Richard and Kevin Richards 57pts
Non-handicap Juniors – This year to encourage some of our newer Juniors without handicaps to play for fun and experience, we had Alfie Brown with Suzie Willmott and Keith Willmott and Kath Biddle, Rob Pywell with his son Ned Pywell, playing 10 holes behind the Cole, Rayment and White competition.

Starting in the rain and finishing in a strong swirling wind made the conditions at Falmouth difficult for everyone, including lots of lush grass and the odd trees here and there!
