GLCGA vs cotswold hills men's 1st team
On Sunday 16th February, the Ladies took on the Cotswold Hills GC Men’s 1st Team. They are one of the strongest club teams in the County and are a great test for our squad.
The format on this bitterly cold day was Greensomes and leading out the teams were Summer Carash and Millie Gait against Joel Parry and Dan Page. An excellent match, all square stepping onto the 18th tee, the girls unfortunately losing on the last.
Next up were Rosie Boyle and Frances Sullivan against Mike Lindsay and Alex Beaty. Another tight match, this time with the girls getting the win.
After losing one of our players to the flu and unable to get a replacement, Alex Saunders, Vice Captain, took on the father and son pairing of Mike and Dave Downey on her own! Being a lover of a colourful golf bag, Alex spotted her opponent’s bag whilst on the 1st tee. Whilst I am not condoning gambling in anyway, the possibility of acquiring said bag, spurred her on to victory!
The all-rookie pairing of Alecia Carash and Carly Cox took on Paul Taylor and Mike Lister. A great first match for this new pairing with some excellent golf from both players, who were unfortunate not to take the points.
Sam Round together with Neve Jeffrey were up against Cotswold Hills Captain, Dave Allison and Will Parsons. A nip and tuck match all the way which resulted in a very honourable half.
Lydia Sutherland and Molly Stewart took on Tom Cole and Alex Jones. Terrific golf from both ladies saw them get the ‘W’.
Our final pairing of Lizzie Robbins and Sophie Williams were against Spencer Russell and Simon Mills, who I am delighted to say, also bought home a point.
A brilliant 4½/2½ victory for the ladies, the first time ever. Some excellent match preparation and our thanks to Dave Allison, his team and Cotswold Hills GC for the match.
GGU U18s vs GLCGA
Sunday 2nd March saw our second match at Filton GC taking on the GGU U18s team.
A Greensomes format again but this time on a gloriously sunny day!
Leading out the teams were Jo Hodge and Mariella Buchanan against Reggie Phelps and Charlie Pearce-Ward. A very close game with Jo and Mariella winning on the last.
Next up were Summer Carash and Taylor Hodgson taking on Riley Wood and Oscar Linton. After being 3 down, the girls made a tremendous comeback to go on and win 3/1.
Claudia Ovens and Sam Round were up against Jackson Wojahn-Parker and Ben Warwicker. A fabulous 8 foot putt on the 17th from Sam meant the match was all square stepping onto the 18th tee and finishing in a very fair half.
Rosie Boyle again partnered by Frances Sullivan were up against James Sayce & Edison Butler, bought home a comfortable 2&1 win.
Safe to say that the rookie pairing of Lizzie Robbins and Alecia Carash worked rather well with a 7&5 victory over Charlie Ford and Oscar Horler.
The new pairing of Regina Chiu and Molly Douglas played Tom Chapman and Ethan Jay. Another amazing fight back from the girls after being 4 down. Four birdies in the last 6 holes, sealed the match 1 up.
After losing a player to injury, Alex Saunders, once again played on her own. This time it was individual singles matches against 2 fellow Bristol & Clifton members Ernie Elford and Jack Lockwood. Both lads went up early in the match but Alex clawed her way back beating Jack 3&2 and then beating Ernie on the 18th by holing a very good 10 footer to secure the win 1up.
Another brilliant day for the squad taking the match ½ to 8½.
Thanks to Ian James, U18s Manager and his team for the match and we wish them all the best for the rest of the season. Thanks also to Filton Golf Club for getting the course into such excellent conditions considering the appalling weather the previous week.
