Falmouth Golf Club are pleased to announce that they have taken delivery of a defibrillator for the club.

Director Steve Burrows said: “I am delighted that we now have the defibrillator, which is a state-of-the-art machine, and I would like to thank our captain Lucien Trathen of Kelsall Steele investment services for offering to pay for half of the investment which was very much appreciated.

“Whilst I hope that we never have to use it in anger, all of the staff recently completed a first aid course which included the use of the defibrillator.”

Meanwhile the Christmas Draw stableford attracted 83 entrants on Saturday, where the weather remained dry until the last few groups were caught in a heavy downpour.

The green keepers managed to present the course in excellent condition considering the amount of rain that fell throughout the week.

 It turned out to be an event dominated by the sporting Churcher family.

Robert played well to take the top prize with what turned out to be an uncatchable 44 points,  with Ian "Henry" Churcher giving it his best with a brand new set of irons only to come up short by one point.

Third was battling Bob Aggus with another good score of 42 points and no doubt still disappointed at his costly “blob” at the par five 7th hole.

Paul Caunter and Tony Drew also played well to card 42 points respectively.

There were twelve players who recorded two`s and this was a fair reflection of the fine greens.
This Saturday is round three of the Winter League, and on Sunday Falmouth play Carlyon Bay at West Cornwall for a place in the semi finals of the Cornwall Presidents Cup. The first match tees off at 11 am.
