Captains’ Day
Ladies
Honours Board
The Captains had kindly laid on summer for their day and a record number of ladies, for 2012, turned out to play and fight their way through the rough of RP.
Not only did she lead the day in game 1, but she also lead the scoring from start to finish and the Lady Captain, Susan Smith, managed to cut her handicap in a reduction only day for the rest of the field. With a net 72 she beat Jayne Maxwell on 74 and Jini Beacham and Sheena Harrington who were two shots further back on 76. Results…
The Captains provided entertainment on the way round for all, with 2 questions relating to captains on each hole and Susan presented each of the ladies with a gift for the day.

Clapham Common
A windy Sunday for the semi-final of the South London Clapham Common match. The format here is 3 men’s pairs at home and 3 away playing Greensomes Stapleford. The total points home and away are added up to find the winning team.
In tough conditions the home team averaged 37½ and won by 11 points. In tougher conditions at Lullingstone the away team fought well but lost by 16 giving the match to Lullingstone by 5 points overall.
A mere half a point swing in each game would have done it so a very well done – and a big thank you – to all who played. Results…

Rickmansworth Friendly
In our annual friendly a team of 12 played the home leg against Rickmansworth in a four ball better ball matchplay format. We took the opportunity to ‘blood’ some new members to team golf and everyone rose to the occasion. Richmond won by 4½ to 1½ so have a bit of a lead to take to the away match in August. We shall see if it is enough. Results…
