Captain v Secretary
Ladies
The ladies Captain v Secretary competition was a 5-a-side affair. The Lady Captain, Susan Smith, was in determined mood scoring 37 points for her own team including a birdie on the 7th hole which netted her 5 points! Unfortunately the rest of her team (Val Riziotis, Nina Humphries, Maureen Slade and Julie Smyth) didn’t fare so well and the Lady Secretary’s (Cheryl Woodhouse) team won by 5 points with Anne scoring a great 39 points.
The winning team was Cheryl, Anne Holding-Parsons, Lia Donath, Sheena Harrington & Joan Mulcahy.
Men
Autumnal fog greeted players for the innovative President’s v Captain’s competition and early games couldn’t see far for the first few holes.
Scoring was remarkably good and Stuart Nash put in a vintage performance of 44 points to win the individual event. One point behind was Hans Koppelan with Paul McConnell third on 41. In the team event, Peter Harrington lead from the back to clinch the match with average 33.40 points from Gurpal’s team average of 32.59. Results…

Result: 3½–½
We played our first friendly against Wimbledon Common on their course. A novel but enjoyable experience, wearing red and sharing the course with numerous dog walkers and runners. We lost 3½-½ and hope to do better when they visit us at home next year.
