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.
