Bank of England match 2013 - RAC Woodcote Park

19/3/2014

“The match against The Bank of England was held on the 17th September at the prestigious RAC Club in Woodcote Park. The beautiful manicured gardens and the impressive buildings set the scene early in the morning.

It was decided mutually by the match managers that the morning competition would be Greensomes due to the possible time constraints of serving lunch. It proved to be a good decision.

Alex Heath with James Haines and David Ratcliffe with Mathew Adams were our only successful pairs leaving us 3 - 2 down at lunch. However, everyone was back in good time to enjoy the excellent lunch and prepare themselves for the afternoon singles competition.

The clement morning weather deserted us and we set off on the Old course in torrential rain. Our rugged team, unrecognizable in all the wet weather gear they could muster, went forth under a panoply of multi-coloured umbrellas. The miserable deluge lasted some 7 holes before it stopped, but left wet conditions. Despite this, our team returned with a victorious score, after some very close matches.

Our winners were Ian Taylor, Bill Smit, David Manners, Alex Heath and Mathew Adams with James Haines, Rob Draisey and David Ratcliffe securing important halves. Thus the LME won 8 1/2 to 6 1/2 and kept the trophy from last year. In all, apart from the weather, it was a very pleasant day, played importantly in a most convivial spirit.”
