Ladies

Falmouth GC hosted one of this year’s semi finals of the Gammon Trophy, which for St Enodoc was a replay of last year playing Perranporth.  Tough matches throughout the field but St Enodoc came through to win 4 and 3.  My thanks go to the players who were exceptional, the caddies for keeping their players on track and to the many supporters who travelled to Falmouth it is always very much appreciated.

We now face St Mellion in the final at Trevose on Sunday 17th September.  Details to follow.

Three pairs (Avril Starling, Jan Harrison, Meg Godfrey, Jax Buse, Bev Vann and Caroline Hume Kendall) represented St Enodoc in the CLCGA Baron Rose Bowl a 36 hole Medal Foursomes competition held at St Austell on Thursday.  Unfortunately the golf wasn’t quite as hot as the day was.  Everyone tried their best to the bitter end but it wasn’t meant to be this year.

Many thanks to the team for the valiant effort they made it is greatly appreciated.

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.

Alice finished in 3hrs 58 mins, whilst Sam beat her previous best by 20 minutes finishing in 4hrs 00 secs.

Well done Alice ! Well done Sam !

CLCGA Championship

Seven St Enodoc ladies (Kira Barnes, Wendy Briggs, Maria Buckley, Jan Harrison, Cath Hopkins, Caroline HK, Bev Vann) teed up on a wet and windy Thursday to compete in this year’s County Championship.  36 holes later Kira Barnes,  Caroline HK and Jan Harrison had qualified into the match play stage of the Championship with Cath Hopkins and Wendy Briggs qualifying for the Plate.  Friday’s weather was little better with high winds making West Cornwall a challenge.  Kira, Jan, Cath and Caroline won their first round of match play in the morning.  After the pm session we had Kira and Cath going into the semi finals.
Saturday was a much better day, gentle breeze and sunshine. Cath was unfortunately knocked out on the 17th but Kira won and goes through to the final to be played on Sunday (36 holes match play).
Well done to everyone who competed, thanks also to the caddies who managed to keep themselves and their players dry, it couldn’t be done without you.

Five of our ladies have made it through to the Match Play stages of the County Championships starting this morning at West Cornwall GC. Good luck to Kira Barnes, Caroline HK & Jan Harrison who play in the Championships and to Wendy Briggs & Cath Hopkins who play in the Plate. The top 16 players from the qualifying competition play in the Championships and the second 16 in the plate.

Penny Moon and Judith Franks came through the first round of the Daily Mail Foursomes successfully beating The Point at Polzeath away at the Point on the 15th hole. Congratulations to Penny and Judith.

The St Enodoc ladies 2022 Gammon Team had a resounding win yesterday against East Devon GC in the Tamar Trophy winning 6 and 1.

At last the clouds and drizzle that has hung over Cornwall for the last 5 days lifted to leave a reasonably calm day for St Enodoc to host the Tamar Trophy (winners of the scratch league in both Cornwall and Devon). The team of Kira Barnes (caddy Louis Archer); Wendy Briggs (caddy Trudie Tensjo); Caroline Hume-Kendall (caddy Fiona Lunt); Cath Hopkins (caddy Sarah Sandercock); Jan Harrison (caddy Avril Starling); Suzie Willmott (caddy Barbara Willmott); Bev Vann (caddy Sue Roworth) set off very determined to keep the Trophy this side of the Tamar. By the 9th everyone was either up or all square, “the loop” had its usual effect and put most of the St Enodoc players in a commanding position. All the matches were played in good spirits and it was a pleasure to play East Devon GC.

Thanks go to all the players and caddies who were an excellent team. Thanks also go to the several dozen supporters who spurred the team on, the greens team for the presentation of the course and finally to the staff in the clubhouse who looked after us with an excellent meal.

Congratulations to Penny Moon and Judith Franks on winning the Ladies Winter Foursomes. It has been quite difficult getting all the rounds in on time this year due to the frosty weather and course closures. Penny and Judith now go on to represent St Enodoc in the Daily Mail Foursomes competition and we wish them good luck. Commiserations to Meg Godfrey and Jax Buse who were runners up.

The finalists: L Caroline H-K and R Trudy Tremain
