Captains’ Day
There was a fantastic turnout for Captains’ Day even though the weather wasn’t great. The course was transformed for the day with two gazebos at the portacabin and flags, stakes and balloons all over Princes.

Ladies nearest the pins
1st – Ros Gray
13th – Maureen Slade
Longest Drives on the 18th went to Graeme Syme and Louise Williams

Mitcham Ladies – Home Leg
Result: Win 3-1
Overall result: Win 4-4
Having won the “Rich Mitch” Cup for the last few years things were hanging by a thread this year, after a comprehensive 3:1 loss to Mitcham in the away match earlier in the year.
The return match on Dukes was held in awful weather and was fiercely contested. I am proud to say that the Richmond team won 3:1 at home to tie the match and retain the trophy!
Thanks to all team members who performed well.
