Cornwall Optimists Golfing Society

Our first event of 2011 and where is there a better place to start than your home course, for most of us anyway. This annual event for The AGM Trophy will hopefully get us off to a great golfing year with some great COG events ahead of us.

We had a great day at Perranporth arriving at 11 am for a relaxing cup of coffee and game of snooker before our lunch. After lunch we played the COG round, just 18 holes today which was better for the oldies - gone are the days of 36 and 27 holes!

The weather was good to us - pity really as we would have enjoyed a stronger wind for that extra challenge - not!

The hospitality at the club was excellent again and the food was up to the usual high standard.

Thank you to all at Perranporth for a great course, fantastic greens and for looking after us. Anyone not yet played there must do so, you will have a great day!
