Berkhamsted – 13th June 2024

Berkhamsted proved to be a real challenge to our golfing technique. It all sounds so easy when you are told that there are no bunkers!! Far from it, you need to be very accurate as venturing even into the semi-rough can result in disaster!!

The weather was to say the least changeable, sunny and warm at times then rainy and cold within minutes!!

23 members and 9 guests braved the testing course and conditions to post a score.

We all enjoyed the Berkhamsted hospitality with a wholesome 2-Course dinner during which the ball sweep netted £320 for the British Heart Foundation. Thanks to all our guests and members alike for their contributions!!

Some managed to return a decent score and prizes were awarded by Captain Fiona Watson as follows:-

Nearest the Pin on 11 – Rob Seeley
Nearest the Pin in 2 on 4 – Daz Bloor
Yellow Ball Winners (L to R Garry Fairbairn, Neil Blundy, Matt Jones and Daniel Myers)

One of only 2 teams to bring back the Yellow Ball!!!

Team Winner – Brendan Conroy and James Flowerdew

James and Brendan won with 38 points in the better-ball competition ahead of no less than 5 teams on 37 points. Very Close!!

Guest Winner – James Flowerdew

James won a tight competition on 31 points ahead of Daz Bloor on 30!!

EPiC Winner – Garry Fairbairn

Congratulations to Garry who recorded a great 35 points in those conditions (Cut by 15% of his WHS) from Tom Swaysland 34 points (18 on the back 9 – Cut 7.5%) and Terry Dobbins (16 on the back 9)

The next event is Captains Day, this year at Harleyford GC on 18th July 2024.
