Dear all, there has been some discussion about how useful our Trophies are. Dust gatherers or useful?
I demonstrate here the most useful trophy that BGS awards. The Autumn Ice Bucket awarded to the best high handicaper..
In this case, I was celebrating my 70th Birthday a couple of weeks ago. It will be used again for Ruth’s birthday on Wednesday, Christmas on Friday and New Year next week. Then it will probably gather dust until my family gets together when Lockdown rules ease. → More...
Dear BGS Members,
I am sad to have to tell you that Nick Buse has died. Nick was a stalwart of the society for many years from the early Nineties and a very effective player off a respectable handicap. He is still the only member to have won the Champions Cup three years in succession (1997-1999) and most of you will remember he was our Captain in 2003. He won all three of our Division A seasonal trophies, and the Matchplay singles twice and the doubles three times, the last two (2002 & 2004) with John Moss as his partner. → More...
Well, the first Matchplay event took place on the 4 August 2020. TR & SA vs PS & DM
Suitably distancing the match was close and exiting the lead swapping 4 times at the halfway point the match was level. A sandy net par out of the back bunker by TR on 10 was matched by DM. PS made the extra shot count on 11 despite missing a 4 footer… 🙂 The short par 3 that followed led to incident number 1 … PS picking up despite having a put for a half oops. → More...
I almost fell for it. An email purporting to come from a BGS member asked for technical help. When I replied they wanted me to buy an Amazon gift card for a niece, and told me not to phone. Alarm bells!
Stupid me, I hadn’t noticed the first email didn’t use my name. I should never have replied, but at least didn’t get conned. Someone’s phishing. Don’t get caught.
A little drill to help you with your turn without stressing your back…
