Rickmansworth Friendly
Nurturing a slender 3½ to 2½ lead from the home leg it was decided to put out as strong a team as possible to see if we could gain the necessary 3-All draw or better at ‘Tricky Ricky’ to win the cup back. Not an easy task given the 6:0 drubbing we had received the previous year there.
After lots of telephone calls and cajoling a suitable team took shape and duly decamped to Ricky. The pairs were a strong mix of old heads who knew the course and young talent with handicaps sliding downwards. So confident was I that I told them this was the strongest team I can remember taking and that if we didn’t win this year we never would.
Some fine golf ensued with our top pairing picking up 46 stableford points in the sweep and our next pair a creditable 42. A great time was had by all and as always Rickmansworth treated us to some great hospitality and a filling meal afterwards.
Oh yes, and we lost. Six – nil.
