It was a lovely cold day on Tuesday, 19 January for the ladies of West Cornwall when they played their first qualifying competition for 2016, which was a Stableford. 

In silver division first place went to Gill Embley, with an excellent score of 38 points, who was followed by Ros Fox, with 36 points in second place, and Anne Richards, with 31 points in third place. 

Lady Captain Edwina Thomas came first in the bronze division with 30 points, and Anne Evans with 28 points in second place, on a countback from Jackie Hill in third place.


 

How did you enjoy the first instalment of Rory versus Spieth? It's one-nil to Rory, but only in terms of scoring - Rickie Fowler picking up the first 'big' trophy of the season.

Both McIlroy and Spieth enjoyed top-5 finishes at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship, but what was interesting to note, as well, was that four of the top six golfers were in the field and all four finished in the top six; well, 'cream rises to the top' as they say. It may only be January, but it's already looking like we could be in for a top season. Is it too early to start making predictions for who will win the Masters?

Back in the UK and we're not quite enjoying the kind of weather the pros had in the Middle East, even if fog did intervene at one stage, but there's lots of activity to look forward to - and one or two fantastic promotions coming up, news of which will follow. So, if you're suffering from the winter blues, fear not because we'll be brightening things up soon.
