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...
