Cornwall Seniors 2012 campaign got off to a promising start even though the weather and conditions threatened to totally disrupt it!

On arrival for practice at Creigiau G.C. it was discovered that the course was unplayable due to eight trees toppled by high winds, areas of serious flooding and littered with debris!!

The Glamorgan Captain was trying to locate an alternative course and was fortunate that Southerndown G.C some 20 miles away was willing and able to shift things around to accommodate the match.

As soon as confirmed the team moved on to Southerdown and were able to arrange to get on the course for a practice round. (at own cost)

As forecast the weather on Wednesday was much better and the morning foursomes got under way with the Cornish making an excellent start and with two matches left it could have been 4 –1 at lunch but for the last green where Glamorgan holed monster putts of 25 and 30 feet for half and win respectively.

2.5 v 2.5 at lunch

The sunshine continued and the afternoon singles got going.

Some very good golf was seen by the watching Glamorgan officials and supporters. With two matches left on the course it was still deadlock at 4 all. One went down on the eighteenth but well done Mike Eddy (Tehidy) who held his nerve to close out on the 17th 2&1.

This added to great wins by Harry Walker, Alan Poole, Mike Hayes and a storming 7&6 win by Past Captain Mike Marshall

Result – Draw at 7.5 – 7.5
