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….
