Singles Medal & Autumn Meeting Medal
Ladies
The Autumn Medal round is usually a well attended event, but perhaps most of the ladies had early warning of the forecast and unfortunately there were 2 Double C matches also taking place.
Amazingly 3 of the 4 of them struggled on against the wind and paddled through the rain to complete the 18 holes, despite a number of flooded greens. The three finishers were Susan Smith, Deborah Potter and Inge Mitchell in that order.
Susan said to be kind with the report - so no numbers!!! Results...

Play was in atrocious conditions and many returned to clubhouse after 11 holes. However, Nick Rogers was undeterred, attired in shorts to win with a 67, two ahead of Stuart Kerr 69. The competition was 'abandoned' for handicap purposes, resulting in CSS=SSS 70 Reduction only with both Nick and Stuart being cut. Results...
The team event was hotly contested with Ed Hennery, Mark Scott, Nick Rogers and Osman Chaudry proving the winning group on 137, one ahead of Ewan Tait, Jon Cooper, Malcolm McKinlay and Stuart Kerr.
All gathered in the 'cabin afterwards to wish Tony McCullagh all the best for the future and enjoy the splendid feast set out.

The combination of high temperature and humidity did nothing to help the ladies' scoring and another low turnout invoked the 'small field' handicapping adjustment. This had the effect of increasing the CSS to 73, resulting in handicap adjustments for all bar the winner and runner-up.

Bontor Trophy
Report by Jon
Cooper
The annual men v ladies match - the Bontor – was held this weekend. As usual the conditions would be a major factor with the lush grass not giving the ladies their usual advantage of a running ball at this time of year. However, the strong winds looked like compensating, affecting the men’s higher shots more than the ladies and bringing the unusually dense rough into play.
Thirteen ladies suspiciously disappeared into the portacabin and some of us, knowing a little about covens, were pleasantly surprised to be greeted instead by the Sioux Smith tribe in full war paint. Most of us, having seen ladies put make-up on before, were not as intimidated by this display as the ladies had expected but hoped for Apache display from them.
Right from the first match on the first tepee, the match was hard
fought and could have gone either way at any time. In a tense finish the
men took the necessary scalp to win 7 to 6 and had a chance to look at
the trophy for the first time in three years. Results...
We look forward to the ladies giving their all to win it back next year
and the men are eager to supply suggestions as to suitable costumes most
likely to distract us in 2013.

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.

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...

And they won the final !! Congrats to Alison, Veronica, Gina, Kate, Suzanne and Maureen who all had a hand in the team being crowned National Champions for 2012. With such a relatively small club it is quite rare for RPGC to succeed at this level so our ladies played exceptionally well to make their mark on the record books.
We have now settled on an annual mixed match against our friends at Amida and we welcomed them to the Park this year. We are were extremely lucky to be playing in the dry but the howling gale made for some interesting play.

On Diamond Jubilee weekend, all bar 3 of the ladies had found themselves something to do that was of more interest than contesting the monthly medal. Consequently, the medal has been deferred to later in the year and Susan, Cheryl & Sheena played a friendly game for a £3 prize which allowed for some experimenting until the last few holes when the result started to get really close and Cheryl's competitive edge came to the fore. But she was still piped by Sheena who then spent more than her winnings on the drinks!

What a difference a week makes! From woolly hats and lots of layers to sun cream and shorts for the second round of the Committee Cup.
The scoring was only marginally improved for all bar the leader after round one. To add to our challenges, this was the first round on the changes to holes 7-11, new stroke indices and a SSS 69 and resulted in a reduction only round.
Sheena Harrington was the leader on the day, but Veronica Mitchell maintained her first round lead to win the Committee Cup with scores of 38 and 30 by a margin of 7 shots from last year's winner Lia Donath. Only 6 ladies completed both rounds of this competition. Results...

Playing the first medal round of the year off the grass tees appeared something of a challenge to most of the ladies, or perhaps it was the result of being back to our summer slots and the games being very late out.

Another reduction only round (QRO) for the ladies as the 10 who took to the field just avoided the new 2012 CONGU rules for 'small fields', or most of us would have got 0.1 back.
With the cold air and fairly muddy conditions underfoot, the ball

half. Veronica Mitchell just pipped Jayne Maxwell to take first place,
both coming in with 34 points.

No doubt if Maureen hadn't aced the 13th she would have scored on the last 3 holes showing that the wind didn't affect everyone. Sadly she didn't see the ball into the hole as the green can't be seen from the tee - but it counts just the same. Congratulations Maureen. Results...
