Saturday July 31st – Stableford
After three weeks without golf RGC members were keen to get “back on the park”, with heavy rain predicted late in the afternoon play began at 11.30. Recent and ongoing rain meant that volunteers had only been able to cut the greens and five of the fairways. There was surface water and long grass a plenty; generally no run and a plethora of plugged balls. A slightly smaller than usual, but heavily motivated, group headed out with sun shining and a gusting SW wind. It was a tough day and while many golfers played well here and there virtually no-one was able to string a run of good holes together. On a sunny, yet soggy, afternoon the results were;
Winner; Mal Mottram (8) – 33 pts from Anthony Lakey (19) 29 pts
NTPs; 1st – Mal Mottram
