Clapham Common Shield.
Second Round Match.
RPGC vs Harefield Place.

A fine but windy day greeted both the away and home pairings at Harefield Place and on the Dukes. Another fabulous effort on an unfamiliar course by our away guys saw all three two balls replicate their first round scores of at or close to their handicaps. Remarkable and consistent golf saw both teams tied after the away leg at Harefield Place Leg.

Scores at Harefield Place.

James / Pete D 36 points
Pete H / Roger 35 points
Toby / Jon 35 points

The three RPGC home pairings had their work cut out to match the efforts of the away guys but match them they did.

Scores on the Dukes

Richard / Nigel G 33 points
Julian / Danny 32 points
Nick / Paul B 43 points

Consistent scoring again from all RPGC pairings saw us triumph by the team totals of 214 points to 203. Well done guys and bring on the next opponent.

In this first round match we were very unfortunate  to draw last years runners up in the National Final, Haste Hill. As you can imagine Haste Hill fielded a very strong team who were rightly full of confidence after last year’s success. We fielded three pairs who played away at Haste Hill and three pairs at home on the Dukes course.

Haste Hill is a difficult and tight course and the Dukes was at its toughest, both cold and windy. We did indeed have our work cut out! Competition was fierce as you would expect from the National Runners up, but the winter golf at the Park had prepared us well.

Our away pairings of James and Pete Davis, Pete Harrison and Roger, and (the seasoned campaigners) Jon and Toby all scored a fabulous 36 points each, meaning we led the tie by five points on the away leg. An absolutely incredible effort by our away guys.

Our home pairings of Richard and Nigel Gaymond, Danny and Julian and Paul Brown and Nick certainly had their work cut out to match the heroics of the guys playing away. But manage it they did! With very credible home leg scores of Richard and Nigel 31 points, Danny and Julian 31 points and Paul and Nick 43 points we managed to overcome the very stern test of Haste Hill by the team total of an amazing 213 to 208.

In my time as Captain easily our most impressive performance in this competition. Well done guys what a result !
