The trip to Ramsey is quite arduous made especially so with uneven road surfaces and many undulations, due I suspect, to subsidence. The course at Ramsey has also struggled and it is not unusual to see numerous cracks on the fairways, but the greens and approaches were in excellent condition, receptive and true, a credit to their Course Staff.
Mark Crampton and I had one of those matches where we could do little right on the Front 9. Captain Kelly Richardson and Roger Tacq, who played quite beautifully throughout, reached the turn in Level Par but fortunately for Mark and I our fortunes changed and holding on we won the last 3 holes to halve the match. A most enjoyable round.
For Burghley P Jim Scutt played quite outstandingly with 6 birdies and he and Richard M won our only fourball 1 Up, not easy when you’re giving 9 shots to each of the opposition. Richard also won The Nearest the Pin on the 16th, beating 3 other BP members.
Very Good halves from David C and Niel C, Peter H with Stephen W, and Michael E with Kevin De T were not enough for us to hold off Ramsay, worthy winners, 5 to 3. This provided ample revenge after defeat at BP. Ramsey Seniors have in fact only lost 2 matches this season, full credit to Kelly and his team.
