The Richmond Golf Club ladies raised an incredible £35,100 for The Victoria Foundation, their local charity in Kingston-upon-Thames. At the Lady Captain’s farewell tea on Tuesday, the cheque was presented to Graham Ball, Charity Founder, by out going Lady Captain, Fiona Stewart and Club Member and fund raiser, Ute Froehlich

Much fun was had at the tea with the ladies being treated to their own special show called ‘More Tea, Vicar?’ specially written for the day by Basil Brush’s wife Nicola Keen and BBC radio Archers actor Malcolm McKee.

Sunday Roll-up
Another glorious day today and nineteen roll-uppers enjoying beautiful sunny conditions - not a 2 or a bandit in sight!
In third place (on countback from Bob Reid), Jeremy Glanville-Jones with a steady 34 points.
Second place with 35 points went to Glori Haskey.

In first place and making his first appearance in quite some time was Maurizio D’Arrigo with 36 points. Well played Maurizio and tactically superb in securing the cash without a handicap cut! (No wonder he looks doubly pleased)
That’s All Folks!
