Whitewebbs – Team B Rd 1 at Portsmouth
Result: 3-2 Loss
Richmond Park B team travelled to Portsmouth for the first round of the competition – against last year’s winners. It was a tough draw for Team B, consisting of Tracy Wright, Lorna White, Maureen Slade, Jayne Maxwell and Ann Gardner.
The match was played in wind and rain on a beautiful, challenging Portsmouth course in a closely contested match that went right up to the last game. We lost 2-3 but we all had fun and all played extremely well against tough opposition.
Well done to all the team especially in coming so close against a very good opponent on a difficult course!

Result: Win by 10 points
Home team (+9)
Richard Owen & Nick Heale – 39 points

Paul Grand & Dave Williams – 35 points
Away team (+1)
Toby Hunt & Ian Smith – 36 points
Kerry Sargeant & Grame Syme – 40 points

This years Clapham Common started with a match against Wexham Park. The format is Greensomes (pairs who both drive and then select the preferred ball and alternate shots from there). Teams are of twelve aside with three pairs playing at home and three going away. The games are all played at about the same time and the team with the most stableford points wins.
The home team for RPGC unusually played on the Princes course. Richard Owen captained them to a 9 point win against Wexham’s away team with our team averaging over 35 points a pair – a good result in the conditions. The away team also excelled themselves averaging over 38 points a pair, pulling out a 1 point victory away from home to achieve a 10 point win overall.
It was particularly pleasing to field two new team players in Nick Heale and Sandy Willison, both of whom acquitted themselves splendidly. We look forward to keeping them in the team and adding other new members this year. You can’t help feeling that we could be quite formidable if we could field our strongest team….

Whitewebbs – Team A Rd 1 against Thorney Park
Result: 2½-2½ Win (playoff)
After a gruelling 5 hour round on Dukes, Richmond Park and Thorney Park were tied 2½ – 2½ with both Maureen Slade and Veronica Mitchell confidently and competently winning their matches and Cheryl Woodhouse and Jini Beacham missing out on theirs.
Di Jackett halved her match and therefore had to go up the 19th, winning at the first extra hole to secure the match for Richmond Park.
Thanks to all the ladies who played!
