BLCGS Match v Berkshire Captains – Thursday 28th August at Donnington Grove
The course was in great condition for the penultimate match of the season although most of the pins were in very ‘tricky’ positions as the club had hosted a PGA event the preceding 2 days making some of the putting difficult. The pro-shop and catering staff all ensured that the day ran smoothly.
As ever the match was played in great spirits with the additional incentive of trying to win the ‘coveted’ salver presented to the winning team each year. Lucie and I were comprehensively beaten by the Berkshire Captain Jim Farrell and current DG club captain Andy Meredith who both played below their handicaps. (I accept that this is a poor excuse!) However, I am delighted to say that the eventual result was a 4-4 draw, thus we retained the title won last year. Congratulations to the 4 pairs that battled through to win, particularly to Judith, our vice-captain, who arrived without her left handed putter, borrowed a right handed one from the pro shop and with her partner won 4&3!
I am also very grateful to Sue Wright and Pauline Valsler who stepped in to play at the last minute after some unavoidable drop-outs and ensured we fielded a full team.
Thank you to everyone who played.
