Please let me know if you would like to attend and have not done so already. The competition starts for Winchester on Friday…
Winchester bowed out in the semi-final in the tightest of matches against Eton. Eton went on to lose a tight final to Bradfield (who are now complete with mind coach just for golf – https://bradfieldgolfclub.co.uk/uncategorized/staff/ ) Rob Moore (MIC Golf at WinColl) reports… Unfortunately today we very narrowly lost our semi-final vs Eton 3-2. Bearing in mind that Woking is…
All, Due to the HonSec’s unfortunate withdrawal from the above match, myself and George Close-Brooks are seeking an additional player. This is a hugely enjoyable and sociable match against a great bunch at Royal St George’s just as the course is coming in to Spring growth. 36 holes of foursomes – the usual OWGS subsidies and lifts are available to…
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…
All, Sadly we are running a few short due to some late drop-outs. This Sunday at Deal vs. Kings Canterbury… 18 or 36 holes of foursomes – 8.30 tee time. Tuesday 12th at Woking vs. WinColl (the Gerald Micklem warm-up match) … 12 noon for lunch with a 1pm tee off … 18 hole singles match. Please let Andrew Tusa…
Both teams assembled for the beginning of play at 9am. Fresh and bright in the morning and some unpleasant squally showers in the afternoon.

You can choose to play 18 or 36 holes and there is lunch available for those that can make it. As with last year,…
From OWGS Captain Tusa… Happy to report that the first match of the OWGS 2019 season ended in a half against RWNGC. So far, so dull. Fortunately, however, the result masked a highly competitive fixture, very sociable opposition and a mercurial performance from the weather. With RWNGC shut for play on Thursday and Friday and with c35% probability of no…
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…
