Playing with Richie Ramsay !

Alasdair Good got a phone call from Richie Ramsay, the Aberdonian golfer who won the US Amateur Championship a couple of years back and who won the South African Open last year. Richie has a house near Musselburgh and was looking for a game at Gullane.   I had just finished playing in the medal with Graeme Currie when Alasdair went to find a member to host him. Richie was great to play with as he is the perfect example of someone to look up to. Everything about Richie's game was was fine tuned, he struck the ball crisply, swung the club at a nice reasonable pace on every shot and has a great touch on and around the greens.   From what I saw he keeps things simple and consistent throughout the round. Ritchie was a delight to play with and even though he was not playing his best ever golf he did still manage to beat me !  Graham Swan 4th April 2010
