The Gods were good to us on Wednesday 7 Oct.
After 100 mm of rain on Camberley Heath in 4 days we had a bright sunny if cool and breezy day.
The course was in great condition apart from a few worm casts and had benefitted from the rain.
17 BGS members took part under our new Covid 19 rules and at least we didn’t need masks to play golf.
3 players elected to use the Black tee measured course and lost 6 off their handicaps compared to yellow tees. → More...
When you arrive at the club for coffee you will need to sit with the group that you are playing with and somebody will serve you. The same will apply when you have finished playing. Please sit in the dining area with your playing partners, and your drinks order will be taken. To ensure the organisation for the day works well please play your round in good order , play provisionals where necessary, no walking back to play another ball, and no letting groups through. → More...
Winner was Mark Kenyon, on count back from Steve Fayers. Both had 37.
The IBM Silver Jubilee cup (first played for in 1973) result was the closest in living memory, possibly ever (ending very nearly in a 3 way tie).
Surrey and Sussex won by just one point, making it an unprecedented four wins in a row – gauntlet thrown down for next year!
I want to thank the three players who stepped in to make it an 8 a side match, Dugie McNellis, Gordon Whickman and John Devlin. They all played very well averaging just over 68 between them. → More...
Dear BGS Members,
I am sad to have to tell you that Nick Buse has died. Nick was a stalwart of the society for many years from the early Nineties and a very effective player off a respectable handicap. He is still the only member to have won the Champions Cup three years in succession (1997-1999) and most of you will remember he was our Captain in 2003. He won all three of our Division A seasonal trophies, and the Matchplay singles twice and the doubles three times, the last two (2002 & 2004) with John Moss as his partner. → More...
