Ladies Championship – Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20

THIS competition was played over two days, the first on the Kernow Course and the second on the Nicklaus Course.

There were some very good scores on day one, especially from the leading two ladies, Sam Peach (76) and Donna Weeks (77).

Despite showers on the second day, all players managed to finish dry when clear skies arrived.

A number of players found the Nicklaus very challenging but persevered to the final hole where they were greeted by a number of spectators to applaud their endeavours!

Just the one shot separated the top two on day one and at the competition’s conclusion which was won by Peach.

Afterwards, all competitors and additional guests were treated to a cream tea courtesy of the club.
