In second place 3 shots behind and including an 8, was Paul Grand. Doreen Dolby was the first placed lady, with a net 71 and taking 3rd place. Results…

Rickmansworth – Away Leg
Result: 3-3
Overall result: 7-5 win
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 !

In yesterday’s net competition, an intriguing 3-way tie emerged with 3 players on 74 – Toby Hunt, Pete Davis and Paul Grand. Back 9 count-back determined Toby the winner. Peter Osgood recorded two ‘Twos’. Handicap students will note that former champion Aidan Hurley was cut from 7 to 6 despite a 79. The answer is of course one bad hole – a 12 at 15 reduced to a net double bogey 6 for handicapping purposes. CSS adjustment was +3, just avoiding the reduction only category. Results…
