English Womens team not quite good enough

The English Ladies team, captained by Teignmouth’s Sally Watkins, left the European Ladies Team Championships in Stenungsund, Sweden empty handed.

Although England were top seeds they lost  a very close encounter in the semi-final against the Netherlands and were soundly beaten by the superior Spanish team in the play off for the Bronze Medal

.Sally said ‘ the team played superb golf in the play off and deserved to get something out of it’.The foursomes went to the seventeenth in  the first match and the nineteenth in the second match. Both games produced eleven birdies. The Spanish won the singles by four matches to one.

Festival Week  off to a lively start.

A complimentary hot and cold buffet and dance party was held at the clubhouse on Saturday evening to mark the start of our Annual Festival Week. Guests and club members were determined to ignore the cold and wet weather outside and enjoyed a lively and friendly social evening. The five piece band were right on the ball with  their choice of 60’s and  70’s music and the dance floor was ‘jumping and jiving’ all night.

Unfortunately the bad weather persisted overnight and caused the cancellation of the Sunday morning men’s competition. However, play resumed later in the day and the ladies were able to complete the Molly Cayless competition albeit in tough playing conditions

Billy faces tough challenge ahead.

Billy Hemstock heads north to the Southport and Ainsdale links this week in his final attempt to secure a place in the Open Championship. He will be competing against  ninety five other professionals and amateurs to win one of the four qualifying places.

The S&A, as it is known, is a daunting golfing challenge that has been the venue for two Ryder Cup matches and several national championships. We all wish Billy the very best of good fortune.

SIZZLING SUMMER BALL

Over ninety members and guests enjoyed a wonderful evening of dinner and dance recently on the occasion of Teignmouth Golf Club’s annual black tie Summer Ball.

Upon arrival we were greeted with a refreshing summer Pimms and within no time at all we were tucking into a superb four course meal of salmon fillet, Devon lamb steak and mouth watering summer berry pavlova. All prepared in house by our own qualified chefs and served by Caroline’s friendly and efficient staff.

When dinner was nearly over, Paul Brinton, the Club captain and his good lady Janet, took to the floor to get the dancing underway. The unusually named Quinious Action seven piece band and singers were magnificent and kept the dance floor packed until the early hours – all in all a fantastic evening.

Several members have written in to say what a really good time they had and the overall feedback is ‘can’t wait for the next one’. If you missed out on this occasion make sure you check the notice board. There are lots of entertaining evenings being arranged for you and your families.
