On Friday the 8th of April at West Cornwall Golf Club we staged our first event of the season.  The weather on the day treated us kindly except for a horrendous 5 minute hail shower that we watched coming towards us from St Ives.

40 players set off playing a 2BBB competition off %85 handicap difference.  There was a nearest the pin prize on the 15th and a 2s competition entering via the pro shop.

The catering afterwards was Shepherds Pie and mix vegetables.   I did not hear of any complaints and there was not much left on the plates either, always a good sign.

The presentation started with a minutes silence as a mark of respect for a very well respected member of our association that sadly passed away a few weeks ago. R. I. P. Brian Foley. 

There were six 2’s on the day but unfortunately two members did not enter this competition lol.  So David Crossley, Michael Page, Geoff Saunders and Preston Ford collected two sleeves of golf balls.

Nearest the pin was won by Phil Macey with a shot that must have been so close to a hole in one. 

The main prizes of the day was won with a great score of 44pts by Nick Watters and Andrew Hurrell. Second prize with 42pts was our Captain Andrew Corfield and Allen Evans and third place winning on countback with 41pts was Geoff Saunders and Gordon Tapmore.

The normal raffle draw ended a superb day and I’m sure our new members of our association were not disappointed with joining the Cornish Seniors Golfing Association.

The next event is live to book now on our web page the date is the 27th of April at The Point Golf Club.
