The Scratch League season started at Caversham Heath last Saturday with the team wearing their new red shirts and cream trousers. The format is a team of six players playing 3 foursomes matches off scratch (no handicaps) on a neutral venue. In my opinion foursomes is the ultimate test of golf, testing not only the golf skills but the attitude, temperament and relationship between players. This was no better demonstrated than the Ryder Cup pairing of Woods and Mickelson which proved to be a total failure (egos came before the good of the team). I believe we have a squad of not only talented players but a good spirit and a desire for success.
I now honestly think we can compete with any club and hold our own. This was demonstrated on Saturday with a 5-2 win over a strong Sandmartins team that only just missed out on promotion last season. I researched their handicaps and found that they would have been giving a couple of shots had it been a handicap event - that makes our victory even sweeter.
Well done Conor Dick & Curtis Macgeever - Tony Glover & Charlie Butler - Ian Martinez & George Stockley.
In addition to these players we have:
Jimmy Green, Lloyd Childs, Paul Seymour, Joe Bell, Aaron Stockley, Carl McCartney and Andy Stockley all wishing to be included in a very strong squad. Many Clubs would be envious of our strength in depth.
If you wish to view details of our progress through the season there is a section called SCRATCH TEAM NEWS on the main notice board or you can visit the League web site through a link from the club site or direct to www.rdicl.com
Good luck to all who represent the club with pride, determination and the will to win.
