RAFGS v Rye Golf Club - 2 Aug 26

A team of 10 RAFGS members assembled at Rye Golf Club on a sunny but not too hot day for our annual match against the club. Unfortunately the club's match manager had only managed to find two players including himself, but after discussion between the two match managers, it was agreed to play the match in the usual foursomes format, with one RAFGS player joining a Rye player in the first two groups and the last group being made up of four RAFGS players, with two nominally representing the club. We were able to mix up the teams in the afternoon, such that the two Rye players had the opportunity to meet and play with a good number of the RAFGS players.

With a pleasant breeze helping to take the edge off the temperature, we enjoyed an excellent day's golf over the links - not to mention the usual excellent lunch between the morning and afternoon rounds. The match at Rye is one of our most prestigious and enjoyable events and  match manager Kevin Burston will liaise with the Club Secretary to try and ensure that next year's event is rather more evenly matched.

RAFGS team: Kevin Burston (Match Manager), Simon Boyce, Matt Branowsky, Nigel Dowdall, Rana Eymur, Mick Ford, Alastair Maxwell, Mark Morton, Ian Robinson, Si Stevens.
