Ladies

The ladies of St Enodoc went to Okehampton GC to defend their title in the Tamar Cup.  Unfortunately not this year.  The team of Wendy Briggs, Caroline Hume Kendall, Jan Harrison, Cath Hopkins, Suzie Willmott, Maria Buckley and Erica Emery (seen here with their caddies and Carole Waights past captain) put on an extremely brave fight but losing to a quirky course with a score of 4 to Okehampton 3 to St Enodoc.

My personal thanks go to the players, caddies and supporters for a valiant effort with some extraordinary golf played in the best team spirit thank you and good luck in the Gammon this year.

Chicken Chase 

Our annual Chicken Chase took place on 9th December with 32 players out on the Holywell playing a 3 Ball Better Ball with a twist. Eggstra points were available if they answered the on course quiz correctly – a multiple choice question on each hole.

2nd Sara Taylor – Chrissie Henderson – Tracy Smith 40 points + 8 quiz points

40 ladies represented both Cornwall and the Rest Of The World in the annual betterball matchplay competition on the Holywell course.  After enjoying golf on a beautiful sunny day the ladies enjoyed the tradition of pasties in the clubhouse.

The winners were Rest of the World 7 1/2 to 2 1/2 Cornwall

Many thanks to the captains Trudy and Helen and everyone who supported the event.

Unfortunately the ladies 2nd Annodata team were unable to beat Perranporth at St Enodoc last Sunday.  Thanks go to the players Kath Biddle, Jan Harrison, Caroline Hume-Kendall, Sarah Sandercock, Suzie Willmott for playing so well.   The team started very well but succumbed on the back 9 with the challenge of giving so many shots which took its toll.  Thanks also to the caddies and all the supporters.
