Golf/Bridge Match vs MCC Away – 15th August
A good result from our Roehampton Club team of Danny and Sally Gesua, Gunilla and Kristoffer Huldt, Peter Bonnor-Moris and Ralph Evers, Sandra and Gordon Fox, who won the golf 9/3 and the bridge 10 ½ / 1 ½.
The MCC don’t have their own golf course, so the match was played at West Byfleet golf club. I understand a good day was had by all.

Swiss teams’ competition is a form of teams scoring, which by being scored after each round allows teams with similar scores to play against each other. This means that soon into the competition teams should be playing against players at a similar level to themselves (that’s the theory).
The completion ends with dinner and prize giving.
