An unusual competition took place at Richmond Golf Club on Friday, August 15 – the ‘Cross Country Golf Challenge’.

Rather than following the traditional route from the 1st tee to the 18th green, players tackled a course made up of a mixed sequence of holes.

So, for example, tee off from the 14th tee and aim at the 9th green.

This ‘golf course with a difference’ attracted over 60 players playing nine holes on a fine summer evening, with some incredible scores!

The winners were as follows:

Ladies – 1st – Karen Jobling & Vicky Matthers

2nd – Andrea Offord & Mel Albrighton

3rd – Sue Kipling & Barbara Gregory

Gents – 1st – Jake King & Tom Thurgood

2nd – Dan Morris & Tom Keegan

3rd – Connor Smith & Alex Ayers

Mixed – 1st – Claire Bateman & Lee Coward

2nd – Penny Holroyd & John Simpson

3rd – Mary Pettit & Brook Watson – the two Club Captains

Mary Pettit and Brook Watson (Captains at the Golf Club) both said that it was a great night for the Club, congratulating the winners and thanking all who took part.

They added a huge thanks to Martin Dolan for arranging the course and starting everybody off.
