Highest S/F Pts and 3rd Team Win - New Forest Golf Club Seniors Isle of Wight tour e 2022 New Forest Seniors Isle of Wight tour kicked o with a match against Ryde Golf Club Seniors where possibly for the very rst time, New Forest won 3½ - 2½ . e Ryde course was in great condition and the greens, although a bit slow ran true. e weather was generally kind with some sunshine and a light breeze, however a sudden squall saw groups race for shelter for several minutes. Day 2 at Cowes with the course looking great and the greens running fast saw weather and golf deteriorate somewhat, with Cowes winning 6-0 in strong winds and occasional rain. On day 3 the weather was beautiful with sunshine and light breezes and the Osborne course was in lovely condition. Osborne eventually held the day winning 5 ½ - ½ but it was not about the winning or losing, it was the warmth of the welcome, renewal of old friendships and the camaraderie that really mattered – plus the 3½ - 2½ win at Ryde!
