Amida Ladies
Result: Win 3-1
On Saturday 21st June an 8 strong team played the first friendly match away at the 9 hole course at Amida in Twickenham.
Format for the day was 4 ball better ball match play and the Richmond Park team played convincingly to win 3-1. Thanks to all who played.
The team received a very warm welcome from the Amida Ladies and we look forward to meeting up again in 2009.
Rickmansworth – Home Leg
Result: 4-2 Win
With several members who had not played for the club before, a strong team was mustered for the home leg of this year’s match against Rickmansworth Golf Club. The pairings were :-
Richard Owen & Stan Potts
Gurpal Sekhon & Michael Rossiter
Graeme Syme & Nigel Ward
Ian Smith & Sandy Willison
Paul Grand & Toby Hunt
Jon Cooper & Tony Kopchez
The weather was similar to that we have endured for most of this summer: cool, windy and with some dampness in the air. Although many of the Rickmansworth players know our course very well, home advantage almost certainly played its part in us securing 3 wins and two draw, to their one win, giving us a 4-2 advantage to take to Rickmansworth in August. Several of the matches were very close and a good time was had by all.
After the match, both teams retired to the Dysart Arms , where we enjoyed a steak dinner and speeches (largely drowned out by the pianist).

A warm sunny day and more run on the ball resulted in some excellent scores in the ladies’ June Monthly Medal. In 1st place was Jini Beacham with a scorching net 68, closely followed by Janet Fox on net 69, and Jayne Maxwell in 3rd (71). Results…
There was no change to the SSS (71).
Men
John Morris produced a fine round of golf to claim the Summer Cup with 37 points – 1 ahead of Paul Robinson, Paul Doran and Graeme Syme. John’s card told a story – out in 23, back in 14; 4 ‘blobs’, no 1 pointers and two 4 pointers. Well done John and there’s bags of potential there. Results…
CSS was unchanged from SSS 35 points with John dropping to 23 and Paul Robinson to 25.

Mitcham Ladies – Away Leg
Result: Loss 3-1
It was a perfect, sunny day to play golf as Doreen Dolby, Julie Smith, Ann Gardner, Lia Donath, Tracy Wright, Louise Williams, Molly Hood and Jayne Maxwell went to Mitcham to play the away leg of the annual friendly.
Well done to Julie and Doreen who won their match but unfortunately, after hard fought matches, the other three games lost. It was a most enjoyable day, however, and we still have the opportunity to retain the trophy by winning our return match in August.
Thank you to everyone who played.
