Welcome back after a long long winter ….
Last year’s knockout was, to say the least, a challenge..
The Doubles competition was won by John White and Phil Bullin congratulations guys
The Singles is still running With part 2 hopefully being played at Royal Winchester between Terry Wall and John Devlin.
The Doubles Plate is yet to be decided Hopefully Steve Edwards will recover from injury to square up with Terry Wall Against Steve Anderson and Tony Ransley…
The singles plate was conceded after Anil’s injury… hopefully Anil is fully recovered and will be able to contribute in 2021…

BGS 2020 Financial Report and Accounts
Dear Members of BGS,
I attach the Financial Report for last year. This will be discussed within my talk at the upcoming AGM at Pine Ridge Golf Club on 19th May. If you are coming to the AGM then I suggest that you print this or carry an electronic version with you.
We are hoping that we can have a full year of golfing coming up and I will be looking to subsidise our 2021 events so that we all can benefit. → More...
2021 Start of Year Newsletter
“Here we are again, happy as can be, all good friends ……… “ and no company!
It’s March, the daffodils are out, the trees starting to bud – so it is time to think about the coming golfing season😉
I trust you are all safe and well as we celebrate (if that is the right word) one year of COVID. Many of us will have had our first jab and the Covid numbers are all heading downwards – Thank God.
BoJo said Golf Courses will be able to open on 29th March – but when will you be able to get out and play on your own courses? → More...
Thank you
A huge thank you to everyone at BGS for the generous gift certificate. I’ve enjoyed doing the website for the past 13 (!) years and will look forward to keeping an eye on your antics in the future. Hopefully the season will be able to kick off before long. Stay safe.

Useful BGS Trophies
Dear all, there has been some discussion about how useful our Trophies are. Dust gatherers or useful?
I demonstrate here the most useful trophy that BGS awards. The Autumn Ice Bucket awarded to the best high handicaper..
In this case, I was celebrating my 70th Birthday a couple of weeks ago. It will be used again for Ruth’s birthday on Wednesday, Christmas on Friday and New Year next week. Then it will probably gather dust until my family gets together when Lockdown rules ease. → More...
End of Term Report from the Captain
Dear BGS Members,
I trust you are all safe and well as we enter Lockdown #2 which has called an abrupt halt to our short golfing season.
I am afraid that our planned end of year Winter Warmer at Dummer on 26th November has been cancelled. So we will miss our final outing and a Thanksgiving dinner 😉
With the uncertainty over lockdown ending and golf clubs reopening we decided not to try to play Dummer in December. It looks like Basingstoke GC will be owning the Dummer course in 2021 and so we may never play Dummer again. → More...
