Noah Badcock's Junior Captains Day - Tuesday, 25 August

Junior Captain Noah Badcock welcomed 28 juniors to his Captains Day on Tuesday. After heavy rain in the morning, the weather finally cleared with the players playing a scramble format over 9 holes. After the game everyone enjoyed a BBQ with County President David Inch and Peggy Darlow grilling the sausages and burgers. 

Noah thanked everyone for playing and helping out on the day including Wendy Inch for organising the event and Margarey Richards and Mary Jenkin for arranging the prizes. 

Congratulations Noah, a great day was enjoyed by all.

It was a glorious summer's day for the Ladies of West Cornwall to play a non-qualifying stableford on Tuesday, 18 August. 

1st division was won by Maggie Hosking with 36 points, on a count back from Judy Ryder. In the 2nd division, Marge Parnell won with a top scoring 39 points, which was closely followed by Christine Marenah in second place on 38 points. Mary Jones won the 3rd division with 29 points, with Helen Dugdale in second place with 28 points.

 

We can all learn a thing or two from the weekend's action in America. For those of you who missed it, US Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III claimed PGA Tour title number 21 at the age of 51, and Tiger Woods' season ended prematurely with his biggest 'missed cut' of the season: no place in the top 125 for the FedExCup Playoffs. 

Love proved that you are never too old to win, which should provide inspiration for all of us - especially the over 50's! Who's to say that he won't make the USA team if he carries on this form over the next 12 months?

Meanwhile, Woods put in an admirable effort to qualify for the Playoffs only to undo all his hard work on the par-4 11th where he racked up a treble bogey, which included a dreaded shank. It was a credit to him that he rebounded with four birdies in the last six holes to remind everyone that he might not quite be a spent force just yet.

The meltdown on 11 is something I'm sure we can all relate to. It can be so easy to let something like this affect your mind-set for the rest of the round, but this is where the best in the world show such strong character. Next time you blob a hole or run up a high number, don't let it ruin the rest of your round. Treat the hole as a piece of paper: screw it up, throw it in the bin and move on to the next hole.
