Mitcham Ladies – Home Leg
Result: 1-2 Loss
On a beautifully sunny but blustery day Richmond Park Ladies played a close match against Mitcham Ladies but lost by 2 games to 1.
The ball was running very well – too well in some cases – and we seemed to return with more balls than on the way out as hedges and ditches yielded some prize finds!
The return leg is to be played on the 8th August so we look forward to evening the score.
Platinum Jubilee
So the day finally arrived when we played Duke’s on the new configuration and what a momentous day it turned out to be. Of 48 entrants, only 50% managed to complete their medal round with the rest of us NR’ing at various stages around the course and one entrant even managing to fail to put his/her name on the card! The rough took its toll not only on the scores but also on the time it took to complete a round, but at least the weather was good.
Ed Henery obviously kept it straight down the middle, winning the first jubilee of the year by two shots with a net 73 from Jon Cooper and is rewarded with a handicap cut to 11. Ken Ukoko and Jim Fogarty were just one shot further adrift on 76. Results…
Scores were such, that is was a reduction only round.
Whitewebbs Match v Easthampstead
RPGC Ladies fell to Easthampstead in the first round of the NAPGC Whitewebbs Shield. Results…
Whitewebbs – Rd 1 v Easthampstead
Result: 116-95
The new format of the Whitewebbs saw 2 players from each team playing at home and 2 players playing away. The team with the highest aggregate individual stableford points wins the match.
Susan and Doreen played at home and Gina and Veronica played away.
Despite a nice sunny day and dry condition, the RPGC team were overcome by the opposing team losing 95 points to Easthampstead’s 116 points.
Thank you to the team and better luck next year.
