Monthly Medal
Ladies
With the ball running over the rapidly browning fairways Gina took full advantage to record a net 68 to win the monthly medal by 4 shots from Val and Maureen on net 72s. The dry conditions allowed 4 birdies to be recorded by the ladies this week, but an almost equal number of scores were also in double digits!! Results…
Men
The dry conditions obviously caused some clubbing problems for many, although the ever present swirling wind doesn’t help! It didn’t seem to affect Danny Deprez who was this month’s winner with a net 65, followed 4 shots behind by James Cowling with a net 69 and Ed Henery on net 69. Results…

Mitcham Ladies – Away Leg
Result: 2-2
The result of this year’s friendly is set to be a close run thing compared to last year’s 8-0 win. At the end of the first leg we are tied on 2-2.
The match was played on Saturday 4th June on what turned out to be the warmest day of the year so far and for once we appreciated the wind to help keep us cool. The driest spring on record accentuated the effects of the ‘Mitcham bounce’. The ball not only ran for a long way, it also bounced in any number of directions. The greens at Mitcham are always a challenge to us, used as we are to the slow greens in the Park, but they were so fast that the Mitcham ladies too had their problems with them.
The team for the day was:
Jini Beacham & Julie Smyth
Doreen Dolby & Val Riziotis
Sheena Harrington & Nina Humphreys
Veronica Mitchell & Anne Holding-Parsons
All the matches were very close and it was good to have a number of new faces in the team. The matches are always very friendly occasions and this was no exception. The day finished with an excellent meal of a large chicken salad and fruit and meringue for desert.
Richmond need to draw the return leg on the 13th August to retain the trophy, but we’ll be going for the outright win.

Summer Cup / Committee Cup Rd 2
Ladies
A very windy day kept the scoring down as the ladies battled against the elements. Despite her despondency at not getting a third week of reductions to her handicap, Lia’s 32 points were enough to extend her first round Committee Cup lead to win by 4 shots from Sheena Harrington in second place. Lia finished on 70 points and Sheena on 66. Susan was the day’s winner, beating all those who’d signed up to play her in the Barton Bowl. Results…
Men
Scoring was difficult, no doubt due to a stiff wind. The winner was decided on a back 6 count back with Andy Furniss victorious from Arthur Dolby. Both had their handicaps reduced a stroke. Results…
Platinum Jubilee / Committee Cup Rd 1
Ladies
Speed of play for round 1 of the Committee Cup, played on Princes, didn’t seem to affect too many with Sunday’s results producing a tight grouping at the top. Lia, maintaining her good form, leads at this stage by one on 38 points from Anne Holding-Parsons, Kate Emanuel and Sheena Harrington all on 37 points. Results…
