Saturday March 26th the Virginia Hickory Golf Association (VaGHA) contested the annual Richmond Cup at the Lakeside Park Club, a difficult Donald Ross design. The wind was blowing hard and cold! Ten intrepid players challenged the elements and the dangerous greens, Andy Moye (NC), Russell Eaves (NC), Eric Wagner (Charlottesville), Dennis Meadows (Virginia Beach), Linn Williams (NOVA), Nelson Ford (NC), Rob Gilbert (Lynchburg), Tom Mehigan (NOVA), David Farrar (our host, Richmond) and Jim Clawson (Charlottesville).
We played a Stableford format in which points were hard to come by. The ‘earned’ points ranged from 1 to 17. Earned plus handicap scores ranged from 23 to 32.
In the end, Andy Moye was the ‘gross’ winner (he declined the moniker!) and Dennis Meadows won the ‘total’ points in a scorecard playoff with Eric Wagner (a former champion here). We all had fun AND were happy to get out of the wind!
