President Takes Chairman …… this time to RWGC for the Invitation event
Malcolm and Terry paired up for the Royal Winchester Seniors’ Invitation event on Monday 7th June, Malcolm insisting on them being known as “Team Pink” and wearing nothing but pink from neck to toe – shirt, trousers and socks! Terry just managed a pink shirt. Sadly there is no photo, but maybe Malcolm’s outfit will re-surface at his next event? → More...
Results – Pine Ridge
After months of COVID, weeks of lockdown and cancellations of our planned golf events HMG eventually announce dates where we can meet and eat indoors in a social context. Great !! Now the problem is that many clubs are not accepting Golf Societies. Luckily I find that Pine Ridge GC ( my club ) is in a position to take us plus I can get the Green Room for eating and for our AGM. → 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...
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...
Royal Winchester Results
CAPTAIN VERSUS PRESIDENT 2020
(COULD PETER “TRUMP” TERRY AGAIN?)
…Or is the President “Biden” his time? At least we would get a result by the end of play on November 4th as two teams of IBM BGS golfers took to the fairways of Royal Winchester on Lockdown Eve along with most of the Club’s membership. Glorious weather justified the post-October date for the 21st holding of the event with Peter hoping to repeat his team’s triumph last year and use his extra year as Captain to become the first to win the trophy twice. → More...
