Team A Rd 1 v Batchwood Hall
Report by Jon Cooper

Result: 3-2 Loss

Team
Ros Gray & Toby Hunt
Tracy Wright & Kerry Sargeant
Julie & Ian Smith
Maureen Slade & Richard Owen
Veronica Mitchell & Jon Cooper

The 2007 Hawtree mixed pairs competition started for Richmond Park at Batchwood Hall near Beaconsfield, which is also where it has ended.

The format is foursomes (partners taking alternate shots), which gives the pairs plenty of time to look at the course. Batchwood is a pretty course and well worth a visit. Neither too long nor too tight, it still gives a challenge with some interesting sloping lies and tricky greens.

The Batchwood Hall team eased to a victory by 3 games to 2. This was actually tighter than it looks as Toby Hunt with Ros Gray and Kerry Sargeant with Tracey Wright both halved their matches. Ian Smith with Julie Smith and Richard Owen with Maureen Slade were both on the losing end while Jon Cooper with Veronica Mitchell won their game.

I would like to thank all the team for turning out and giving their best – it was a close run thing!
