CARATELLA CUP TROPHY
It's ruddy Sohail at the top
The Chairman ruddy stamped his authority at Ruddington. A fabulous round if I may say so. 31 points in total with no birdies at all. However, this was overshadowed by Rob who came in second with 27 points. Overall, the lowest gross score by two shots from Rob and on the way giving Stuart and good whopping of 6 & 4 to progress to the semi-final matchplay.
Two splendid rounds that needed mentioning. He will play Geoff in that and the winner of that will play the Chairman. In third, and keeping a tight grip as the leader of the Caratella Cup on 26 was Phil. As usual the theme has been low attendance to the events with no guests at all to either make the numbers up or potential to join.
Only 10 attending on this occasion. The grim reaper has worked his magic on me but not on Rob as he stays playing off scratch. Oh Geoff, think of all the extra shots you could have had.

The course was in great condition. I found the greens true, not too quick and fairways were well looked after. I could only remember the first hole for the last time we played and that was because of Robert (said in a French accent). However, revisiting made me realise it is a good course with some great holes. We were well looked after by the staff, especially the breakfast by all accounts. As far as I was concerned there was too much of it.
Is too much better than not enough? I think we sort of escaped the rain. We had bouts of it, but it certainly could have been much worse.
This was the first event since the weekend away at St Mellion. It seems everyone enjoyed themselves immensely, with great company and the weather holding off.
The next event is not far away, Bondhay Golf Club on Sunday 17th August 2025. A new course that is a little further away but hopefully you will find it is worth that extra little travel distance.
Cut off for this date is Monday 11thAugust 2025. Please get your monies into me if you intend to go. See you there.
