“ Henley paid us the great compliment of rearranging our match for the Danesfield Cup, usually played in April. This was their only club match in 2020. Their Captain had selected 4 pairs mainly with an aviation background, including some low-handicappers. We were under new management this year as Basil Evans had handed over the reins to Jethro Tull. But some things don’t change. Although the match was all square after 7 holes, course knowledge prevailed on the homeward stretch and Henley deservedly retained the Danesfield Cup by a 3-1 margin. Well done Nigel Dowdall & Rick Lipscomb for saving our blushes; they played well to beat 2 very good golfers. The course was in excellent condition and the meal was much enjoyed. Henley is one of our longest-standing fixtures but victories come rarely; the tally is now Won 9, Lost 32 and Drawn 5. Maybe next year.”
