Captain's Drive In

David Ryder is the new Club Captain of Tehidy Park Golf Club for 2016/17. A large gathering of members and family friends gathered under bright mackerel skies to witness Mike Eddy putt out his term in office on the 18th green, before watching David strike the much anticipated drive 155.9yds. 

The winning distance guesstimate was made by Sheila Tellam. Well done David that old hickory club must have looked like a toothpick #Boom 
On the day £190 was raised for David's chosen charity the RNLI.

Ladies Pink Day

The ladies section arranged their annual Pink Day competition in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness earlier this month. The ladies really entered into the spirit of the occasion, the course a blaze in the colour Pink.

The winning team were Linda Brooks, Ro Lowson and Jane Hollis with 82 points. Captain, Anne Fitzhenry, reported that the total raised had reached £382.25. Well done ladies, a great effort to a very worthy cause. 
   
Wilfred Marks Cup

A field of 77 entries gathered for the Wilfred Marks Cup, the final silverware competition of the season. Simon Eyles took the overall prize, with a creditable 41 points. 

Men's Winter League 2016/17

The popular Winter League commenced on Saturday 8th October with a  field of 92 playing. The winning pair Nigel Thomas and Peter Turner returning 47 points. Playing in the same four ball , I witnessed some classic Better Ball 'Dovetailing' between Nigel & Peter with the only blemish to the card, a bogey on the 7th hole.  Excellent Golf Chaps!
