Richmond Open Report

/in , /by

A new scoring format to the society going by the name of  ‘Medalford’ was used to determine the winner of the 2024 Richmond Trophy where the afternoon 18 hole stableford score was taken away from the morning 9 hole medal score. The lowest score was the one to take the trophy and it provided some interesting scoring with the range going from -2 all the way to +13.

Before the results I would like to officially welcome 2 new players, Adam Galloway & Dean Hurbury. Great to have your support and hope to see you both again throughout the season.
I would also like place on record our thanks to Amy and the whole team at Richmond for providing their first class hospitality and accommodation of the ever changing numbers due to various reasons.

The course itself provided the usual test with the tight fairways and undulating greens. It was in great condition despite all the recent rainfall we have all endured over the last few months.

Onto the results and firstly the 2’s club which saw 4 players taking a share of the spoils. These were Roger Worth, Keith Barnes, Nick McEvoy & Dean Hurbury.
There are 5 par 3’s at Richmond and the nearest the pins were won by the following players…..

Holes 4, 12 AND 18= Roger Worth (greedy!)

Hole 7 = Kev Harper

Hole 9 = Keith Barnes

In 3rd place with  score of -1 (34 medal -35 stableford) was Aidy Hope.

2nd placed on a countback (36 – 34) was Craig Allen (16 stableford countback)

The winner of the Richmond Trophy with an equally impressive score of -2 (36 -34)  was Wayne Jackson with 19 scored on the stableford countback.

full results can be seen on the relevant page of the website.

Well done to those who took a share of the winnings and a huge thanks to all the 23 string field who turned out to play and showed support. Let’s keep these numbers up if possible please.

 

Due to the rescheduling of fixtures the remaining meetings are in quick succession with the next one being at Normanton for the Mel Smart memorial. This takes place on 19th August with a cost of £33 to be paid into the society account plus £5 sweep on the day.
