After taking up multiple column inches celebrating the success of the 2018 Hewitt, it is only right that we do report on the 2019 efforts, if only seeking to take up far less in the form of celebratory glow. This yearÕs effort was disappointing. One of the best teams that Winchester has fielded, and defending champions no less came up…
All, It is that time of the year again when I look to organise the team to play for OWGS against RSG at RSG. The match is on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th July. It is a fantastic weekend open to all – the course is in fantastic condition 12 months out from The Open Championship. Please rally around friends…
We are looking for a few more players for OWGS v Huntercombe on 12th May. 18 holes foursomes in the morning. Afternoon tends to be reduced numbers depending on how keen everyone is. Please contact colin@scottmalden.plus.com
All, Due to an unfortunate last minute drop-out, we are one player short for the match v Rye this Saturday – 11th May. 36 holes and a fine lunch… mixed with some excellent company. If you can make it please contact David Hough . houghie1@live.co.uk
Overall Match Result OWGS 3 – Huntercombe 5 A very pleasant day with Huntercombe in superb condition the day after their scratch Gold Medal, and fine weather to boot. The match was evenly poised after the morning rounds, with both Scott-Maldens managing a point. Teams were slightly reduced for the afternoon rounds, and Giles Payne (Old Furleyite) changed sides to…
All, A gentle reminder about the Summer meeting which is now less than two months away. This is a very enjoyable (depending on the quality of your golf!) day out for all members of the Society. You can choose to play 18 or 36 holes and there is lunch available for those that can make it. As with last year,…
Both teams assembled for the beginning of play at 9am. Fresh and bright in the morning and some unpleasant squally showers in the afternoon. At least this was the right way around as somehow a little rain after lunch seems much less of an inconvenience. OWGS had many regulars in the team but it also included two debutants, Chris Andrew…
The last time that Winchester qualified for the Grafton Morrish was 2013; yesterday that wrong was put right. For those interested (and bad luck to those who are not), the Morrish requires teams to progress through a process of regional qualifiers. 100 attempt to get into the 48 team finals in October. Winchester WERE perennial finalists – and even lost…
Players are required for the match v Old Blundellians Thursday 18th July at Bristol and Clifton Golf Club. It is a 9.30am start followed by lunch. Dayrell McArthur ( dayrell.mcarthur@outlook.com ) is Captain of Bristol & Clifton this year and would appreciate a strong turnout from those that are able. This is a friendly contest where enjoyment for all is the…
The OWGS team of Tom Hawkings and Nick Holt were victorious at the Alba Trophy on Saturday 8th June. This is the first time that the OWGS had won the trophy – note not the first OWs as Paddy Buckley has won the event several times playing for Woking. In blustery conditions on a tough course setup, we put together…
