The St Enodoc Annodata B Team played host to the ‘B’ Team from St Mellion on a clear and calm day at St Enodoc.
The course was in great condition and the matches were played in great spirit. A credit to all involved.
Neil Robinson earned a hard-fought win to give us an early lead but not everything went our way. After the first four matches we were 2-2 so it all came down to the final match and Dave Lupton turned on a stellar performance to give St Enodoc the win.
Thank you to the St Mellion team for being great competitors and to the clubhouse staff for the usual great service before and afterwards.
St Mellion: Carl, Steve, Jordan, Adam and Lewis. St Enodoc: Dave Lupton. Greg Mather, Matthew Warr, Neil Robinson, Dennis Brown
On Sunday the 7th May, the first of two teams from St Enodoc made a short journey across the valley to The Point at Polzeath for the 1st round of this year’s Annodata Matchplay.
The competition is a 5 man team event, each man playing individual matchplay against a drawn opponent.
The course at The Point was presented in immaculate condition and the weather warm and sunny.
The St Enodoc Team comprised of John Rowe, Richard Blake, John Twiggs, David Collick and Lewis Bradley, Lewis standing in as replacement at the last minute.
Despite some really good golf from both sides the deciding factor was the green speed, St Enodoc’s team to a man being unable to adapt to the true but much slower green speeds on the day.
The Point won the match with a convincing scoreline 4.5 / 0.5, St Enodoc’s John Twiggs securing the only half point.
Thankyou to The Point for such an enjoyable afternoon and best wishes for the next round.

On Friday we had another smashing, sold out, social evening event with Round 2 of Skittles.
10 teams competed against each other as skittles were knocked over and sometimes sent flying as the balls were sent rolling down the alley. The first round set expectations high with both Paul Blackiston and Nick Richards knocking all 9 skittles down in 1 ball.
It was a very tight competition between the ladies with the highest scorer being both Helen Lowe and Di Mindel.
For the Gents, there was a clear winner as double figures was achieved on all rounds by Nick Richards, which also helped his team ( Mark Luxton, James McDonnell & Rob Lane) to win highest scorers of the night.
Fabulous fun was had by all and full belly’s from the Chinese Buffet.
Next event is the Beetle Drive on Friday 12th May
Just two weeks to go before this years TCS London Marathon.
You may have seen St Enodoc team member Sam Stone training around Wadebridge to get up the stamina to compete in this great event for the first time.
Like many others running Sam is raising money for a good cause and is already on the way to making a fantastic contribution to the British Heart Foundation, a charity very close to Sam, as her son needed life saving surgery at just 13 weeks old.
We wish Sam the best of luck and will be looking out for you on the Telly!!.

A key part of our Strategy Review has been to improve how the Club communicates. This has included a refresh of our Club logo. We have smartened it up while retaining its iconic view of the Church and coast, whilst making it more user-friendly for all media types. We have also sought advice and input from the originator of our original logo, Jim Crouch.
It will be implemented soon on our website, emails, notices etc, and – since Nick Williams has been involved with the process all along – will start to appear on new Pro Shop stock. Other things bearing our logo will be updated once they come up for renewal/replacement.
To ensure we are more consistent in all our communications, we have commissioned a short ‘Style Guide’, a set of rules and guidelines about how and where to use the logo and approved typefaces, and to set out the tone of voice we want St Enodoc to project to Members and Visitors at all times.
The new logo in its various forms is available from the office if required and the Style Guide will be placed in the Club Policy documents area of the virtual website.
The final of the Vice President knock out was played on Monday between Caroline HK and Bev Vann. Bev set off to a flying start with birdies on the second and fourth holes leaving Caroline work to do and 4 down at the turn. Plenty of great golf and digging deep took the match to the 18th with Bev maintaining the pressure throughout the entire match and winning 2 up. Bev now goes on to represent St Enodoc in the County Vice Presidents Knock Out. Good Luck Bev.
Craftsmanship of the highest order on display at the 4th hole on the Church Course.

For the avoidance of doubt the Management Committee will be exclusively responsible for all tasks not delegated to the Captain’s Committee under this Rule 38.
Following the irreparable damage caused to the bridge that crosses the stream to the 10th fairway on the Church hole it will be necessary to completely rebuild the crossing.
This will commence from Friday and continue into next week to restore access. During the works the 10th hole tee’s will be placed around 30 yards from the end of the path on the right side of the fairway (played as a short par 4). A Course Marshal will be present to ensure safety of play and to any walkers using the footpath.
It is hoped that the work will be completed by the middle of the week, and apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Following a very wet start to the year and in order to protect the course holes 4 to 12 are now closed. We have had 26mm of rain in the past week on top of already wet ground and further footfall, trolley and buggie use may damage the course.
After months and months of training our Clubhouse Assistant – Sam Stone will finally be achieving one of her dreams of competing in the London Marathon.
Sam will be running and raising money for the British Heart Foundation a charity very close to Sam as her son had open heart surgery at just 13 weeks old.
If anyone would like to support Sam any donations would be much appreciated.
Best of Luck from us all.
