Fellow RAGS,

Another successful RAGS outing yesterday with 21 players.  This time we were well looked after by Hennerton Golf Club. It is a short but tricky course with 8 par 3s and plenty of places to catch the unwary.  However, RAGS ladies, in particular, seemed to find the course suited to their game.

The weather was perfect for golf and, as usual, some excelled while others simply enjoyed taking their clubs for a walk round a very scenic parkland course. I decided to satisfy myself with an audit of the number of bunkers.

Now to the honours of the day:

Overall Winner – Val Bate (38 points) wins £20 and the RAGS trophy
Runner-up – Dick Pooley (37 points) (£15)
Nearest the pin (ladies)  -  Val Bate (£10)
Nearest the pin (men)  -  Mike Stevens (£10)
Longest drive (ladies) – Rosemary Brand (£10)
Longest drive (men) – Steve Sargeant (£10) Due to a unique circumstance, Steve decided to donate his winnings to the Captain’s Charity. (If interested, ask someone who attended to explain).

Congratulations to all the winners and my thanks to all players for their participation and maintaining the fun and banter which defines RAGS outings.

I intend having a final outing in September and will advise when negotiated.  If anyone wishes to recommend a course within easy reach, suitable for most abilities, not overly expensive and not already frequented by members of PRGC, please feel free to do so.
