A narrow loss in the national GC Murphy Shield competition

The High Wycombe team approached the match with Cheam C.C. with some trepidation as the weather forecast was for cold / wind / rain. As the day turned out it was not quite as bad as expected, but just about playable. In addition we found that all members of the Cheam team had lower handicaps than us! The opposing team arrived early enabling us to start playing a bit early.

Although the weather was not ideal everyone had an enjoyable day playing two games before lunch and two more before some tea and cake. The final result was 4 / 3 in favour of Cheam, which was about what was expected in the circumstances. Pat Winning must be congratulated for winning all her matches in adverse conditions.

We finished just in time to get home, change, and still get to the Club annual dinner!

Thanks go to the team of Michael Bowker, Martin Dock, Pat Winning and Mike Vickery.
