Richings Park Golf Club Thursday 15 September 2022

by Alan Papps

This is only the second time I’ve played Richings Park, the last time was back in Aug 2019 when I played with my daughter in the father son/daughter comp.

The morning 9-hole competition was a Bramble shamble 2 ball concatenation game, bit of a laugh and a nice warm up for the afternoon.  Played with Tim & Steve Faulkner, we played some good golf although the Kudos went to team Barrie, Richard, and Andy (Guest) – well done guys. The morning round was also where I won the NTP on the 6th.  Bit embarrassed as I won it with 41”. 

After ham, egg and chips lunch (what else 😊), I was back out with Warwick and Trevor Rocket for the Stapleford. Played fairly consistent golf and managed to avoid any trees, OoB or lost balls. Came in with a respectable 37 points. Thought I would be in with a shout of a top 3 place but as it turned out, was enough to win the day and also gave me enough points to take the Grand prix.

Thanks to Tim's big chopper 😋, this is the 1st time I have been a single figure golfer, something I’ve been trying to do for many years.

I want to thank Warwick and Trevor for their great company and really enjoyed playing this tricky course. Greens were superb

Cheers all
