tee1up golf weekend 2004

Thursday 3rd to the 6th June 2004 We couldn't have picked a better week for this years golf weekend in Cornwall the forecast was expected to be hot for the four days. After a early start and a stop for breakfast we all arrived at St Mellion around 11am and it was quickly into the bar for some Dutch courage before the start of the exhausting six rounds of golf  over four days. The competition for the weekend as with every golf weekend we have played was accumulated Stableford with two team rounds and the rest individual scores to count. The first round at St Mellion on the Nicholas course www.st-mellion.co.uk was individual Stableford of full handicap. The round  was won by Colin Giles with 33 points and in second was Gavin Hall on 29 points, third place went to Andy Webber hardly surprising as he loves the course ( a we all look forward to his unbiased review). After the round it was a quick dash (hour and a half) drive to Bude to the Hotel Penarvor overlooking Crantock Beach. www.hotelpenarvor.co.uk if you decide to stay in Bude look no further than this Hotel the food is superb and Kim an Laurie really make you feel at home.     Click here to see the other pictures taken on the weekend photos taken by Colin Giles and Kevin Burnett-Whalley Left to right Andy Clark, Rob Franckiess, Neil Weaver, Gavin Hall, Kevin Burnett-Whalley, Stewart Rennie, Andy Webber, Alan Garvey aka Rod Stewart, Stuart Hensman, Colin Giles, Jason Gregg Day 2 Friday 18 holes Stableford  in the morning and Four Ball better ball in the afternoon at Bude and North Cornwall Golf club www.golfincornwall.co.uk/budegc.htm. The morning started off with some sea har (rain) which only lasted about two holes mind you I was off the last group and when we teed off we didnt see were the balls went. We were all dressed to the nines in water proof cloving with the exception of Rob who thought it funny to wear shorts and a jumper that got soaking wet in seconds. But he had it right because the sun cam out and quickly as it rained we dried out only problem with this is that we had to carry a full bag for the remaining holes. I had a great round and scored a steady 38 points which gave me a second place behind Colin Giles on 39 points, third was shared by Stuart Hensman and Gavin Hall. The second round was played to the same format but with a twist in the evening the Better ball partner were drawn out of the hat, so the final scores were unknown until then. The winner of the second round was Gavin Hall with 43, second went to Andy Webber and Jason Gregg on 42 points and third place to Neil and Stuart Rennie. The scores after three rounds were very close with Gavin, Colin and Andy Webber leading the way.  Next Page >
