Wally scores an excellent 39 points to take the prizes at Old Thorns this month!.. Not sure if that is the back pain on Lords grin, or the reluctance of giving over the green jacket from his win at Cowdray last month!.
Paynie renewed his membership to ICOC as well on the day with 27 points, closely losing out to Blair on count back…
A strong display of Foursomes golf saw the RAGA’s take a 5-1 lead into the PM singles competition at Worthing last Friday.
A revival from Worthing didn’t hold and the RAGA’s took their first win at Worthing since 2005 to even up the scores for the Ryder Cup at 12-12.
Some quality golf was played as usual..with plenty of support from each side.. Heres a couple of shots from the first tee – looking for Blairs “drive”, 5 mins later…(RAGA rules haven’t quite caught up with the R&A’s..it was finally declared lost..even with all that help!), and A PM match, both taking their second shots on the first hole…
Captain for Worthing and host for the day gave a fine and spirited speech after all matches had finished, in what was a very enjoyable day for all, played on an excellent course, with with wonderful weather conditions and a fantastic spirit!. Well done to all!
Wooters took charge on the West Course at East Sussex to win the Merit round with 42 points on a wet and blustery day in East Sussex
Commander was second with a credible 38 points of a handicap of 6 and Wally came 3rd with a standard 36 points… Don’t worry…Captain Dirk came 4th on count back with 36 and was cut a further 0.4 for this year – down to 21.0 now.!>
Treagy wasn’t their to congratulate Wooters, but timing for such form is mixed, given the 2.8 cut dished out and the Ryder Cup less than a month away…
Please let the Secretary know if you wish to play at Gatton Manor, by end of Monday 22nd April….
Also, Matchplay First rounds need to be completed by 28th April…Still some to arrange and play!! Away player goes through unless circumstances advised to Captain for decision by 28th April.
