This was the inaugural match between MVLGA and North/Mid Wales played on the rolling hills of the Wrekin Golf club in Shropshire on Thursday 2nd July 2015.
Sue Pidgeon had kindly arranged the course for us after initial contact was made last year at the Welsh Senior's Championships and the date was sorted out. We were all looking forward to playing and the team of 6+ Hcps thought we would be playing in the blistering heat, as it had been just the day before. It was not to be and we were quite glad as the course is quite hilly and would have proved very difficult in that heat. Although the rain wasn't too bad for most of the round, the last groups suffered a heavy downpour.
We played 4 ball better-ball match play, off scratch, and all matches were played in great spirits. It was lovely to make new acquaintances and afterwards we all enjoyed a lovely meal. Next year we hope to play the match in Wales and Royal St Georges was mentioned. I'm sure this will become a regular fixture to be enjoyed by Midland Vets in the coming years..
