Bishops Stortford – In the Eye of the Storm

The EPIC Golfing Society had a magnificent day at Bishops Stortford Golf Club on Thursday 19th October 2023.

Whilst the rest of the country suffered for the early affects of Storm Babet we held our breath and nerve and were rewarded with a nearly completely dry round of golf and indeed some bright sunshine.

Many Thanks to Bishops Stortford GC for their attention to us and to the course which was in an excellent condition.

We had 32 players – 24 members and 8 guests take on the course and enjoy a great meal afterwards.

There was a return to EPIC by Will Evans who belatedly received his replica trophy from 2017 Captain Malcolm Marshall for winning the Captains Cup in that year, 2017. A long time coming but worth it!!!

Winners on the day, all presented by 2023 Captain Rob Seeley were:-

Nearest The Pin – Terry Dobbins
Nearest the Pin in 2 – “Local Boy” – Jason Wood
Team Winner – Garry Fairburn
Team Winner – Will Evans
Guest Winner – Daniel Myers with a magnificent 40 points
Autumn Cup Winner Iain Stevenson (Cut2) 36 points from James Barrett (Cut1) on countback

The next event is at Urban Golf, Smithfield on Thursday 30th November. Thank you for the people that have already confirmed, the turnout is looking good already! Please respond to Ken Adams or Neil Blundy on this one!! The Christmas package includes a 2 course sharing meal, 3 drinks and 90 mins of golf at £70 PP.

Our annual visit to Letchworth takes place on 27th December. Members will receive an invitation in the usual way.
