Presidents Day at Bude & North Cornwall Golf Club

Club President Alan Pearce was blessed with an unseasonally dry and sunny day. 130 members took part and the men's CSS dropped to 69 with scoring set so high.

Top man and winner of the President's Putter was Shaun Marshall who off a handicap of 7 returned 46 points to see his personal handicap tumble to 5.2. Richard Cragg also playing off 7 (but giving many years advantage – his day's score I believe!) returned a commendable 42pts and losing a shot in the process. Dan Balsdon was also on 42pts with Ray Downes making it a good day for the cat one and two players.

Top junior was Leo Glover with 44pts who will no doubt be on the way down over the next couple of years. Top of the fairer sex was Annie Quartermain on 42pts and seeing a two shot drop in her handicap to 13.2 exact.

At the presentation Club President Alan thanked everyone for making it such a successful day. To set up the evening's music provided by Mike Quartermain an up and coming group under the billing of the 'Rock Chicks' provided a short rendition of one of the ABBA hits, so popular were this talented group that an encore was demanded by the members.
