for the first time in Seven Year’s our Men’s Team returned from Rickmansworth with the “Tricky Ricky” Cup. This is an annual match with both an away and home leg, which our boys won 7-5 !

An outstanding effort by some quality golfers in both fixtures! At one stage in the match the Rickmansworth Captain commented that he thought we had forgotten what the cup looked like! As you can imagine this was all the inspiration our Men’s Team needed 🙂 . Awesome Guys !

The Club holds a 4-2 lead after the home leg played on a difficult Dukes Course. Report…

Result: 4-2 Win

In one of the clubs oldest rivalries and fixtures we are once again attempting to bring the Cup back to the RPGC trophy cabinet. This is a feat which has alluded us for far too many years. In fact the away team Captain commented that he felt we probably had forgotten what it looked like!

Well needless to say in response to this challenge our Guys played with a courage that would make us all proud to be RPGC members.

The home leg, played on a tough Dukes course, ended 4 -2 in our favour. A heroic effort which sets us up nicely for a very tricky return to the notorious (as Peter would say) “tricky Ricky” in the away leg. This could be our year!

Result: 5-1 Win

On Saturday 20th June saw Richmond park play our annual friendly match against Rickmansworth, this match is played on a two leg home and away basis.

This friendly has been played over many decades, with Richmond Park winning the cup back last year for the first time in some time. We are determined to hold onto this cup for a few more years yet.

The teams are made up of 6 pairs each and the match played on a 4 ball better ball format, the day started with the threat of heavy showers but brollies were only needed a couple of times for short showers.

The day ended with Richmond Park winning by 5 games to 1, a good lead to take to Ricky. We each also hold a team sweep which was won with 45 points being scored by two pairs sharing the pot.

A big thank you goes out to all players giving up their Saturdays to represent their club.

The away leg AT TRICKY RICKY is to be played on Saturday 25th July, so all those who are interested in playing in this MUST WIN friendly please book in on Master Score Board.

Rogered, again  6-0.

Overall result 8½-3½ (home leg).

Result: 3½-2½

A most blustery day saw RPGC host Rickmansworth for the home leg of the annual friendly on “Dukes Phase 2”. A new look Richmond Park 12 was nearly an 11 due to the volume of traffic on Sutton Court Road. Having overcome that initial hurdle, it was a case of tiring out the visitors with the trek to the first tee.

There were a number of close matches, and at one stage RPGC trailed 1½-2½. Our players coped better with the at-times 3-club wind, though, and won the final two matches to pip Ricky at the post.

In the associated RPGC sweep, Steve Cross and Rick Smith won, collecting a commendable 48 points.

So a repeat of the 3½-2½ score line from the last two years. However, with our new-found depth, we are optimistic that the away result of (6-0) will not be repeated!  And  we might manage the first overall win for several years.

The date for the away leg is 17 August.

Report due soon. Results…
