Wednesday, 18th May – Whitsand Bay
Recognising a lost cause when they see it, Wednesday saw the abandonment of the singles and replacement with a team “Pink Ball” challenge in groups of three.
The sunshine of Looe was but a distant memory as the teams were confronted with weather that could be politely described as changeable.
In fairness, the heavy downpours were very intermittent and could hardly be blamed for at least two of the groups losing their ball on the first tee shot of the day.
It may, however, have contributed to another group who chose to dispose of theirs towards the sea on the 6th.
Results
The team of Sue Pritchard, Martin Sykes and ace team player Pete Cosford were oblivious to all this mayhem. They returned with pink ball intact, carding a commendable 106 points which was easily enough to secure victory.
Spot prizes went to

The format for this day will, prior to next years tour, either be reviewed by a specially selected committee, or decided via referendum. Watch this space.
