RRG winners-just!
Hardly the best of weather recently for the game we love has it, but it’s not stopped me or plenty of others in competing at pro am level or corporate golf either.
I have just hosted the final round of the inaugural Travis Perkins v’s RRG Group challenges in the Manchester region, the 1st was a convincing victory by TP at the De Vere Carden Park. The next in pooring rain at De Vere Mottram was an RRG triumph, they took the trophy -just! A 6 man team event, 4 ball better ball format created great banter between the two companies and is something I will strive to grow. The fact that the RRG guys [my car sponsors!] drafted in, at the last minute subs, due to illness of 2 clients, tipped the balance over the closing 2 holes of our 11 hole match. The subs it has to be said were, son Tom [ a pro] and Jack a 4 hdp junior at Didsbury. Not that John from TP was gutted of course…..he was! And will be all up for revenge come February.
Both Tom & I have played a few pro ams, most recently at Ormskirk GC nr Southport, a gorgeous place albeit very wet. I managed 3rd spot with 69, whilst Tom was 72 and was gutted after getting offf to a flyer after 9!
Last evening I was a guest speaker at Heaton Moor GC in Stockport, the guys there made me so welcome it was terrific. just a pity therefore that I didn’t repay them with one of my better performances with a mic! A more friendly club I have not been too.
Our Chistmas ‘ golf do’ will be at Lymm Golf Club, Cheshire, the host club of my pro m in july. A short game clinic, 9 holes and then Turkey sandwiches & mince pies. That’s on 16th dec if anyone fancies joining us, Sandra in the office has details.
All the best andrew.
