OC Golfing Society
2022 Update
Under James Houghton's captaincy we once again produced a great effort at the Halford Hewitt, going down 2-3 to a very good St. Bee's team in exceptionally windy conditions.
The past captains at Royal Worlington were well attended and played in glorious sunshine. The singles in the morning were won by Ashley Whitby with 38 Points. As you may know the current captain cannot win a prize in the morning singles but Michael Rutherford (OCGS Captain) was delighted to come in with the ever-reliable Buster Oxley in the afternoon foursomes.
Autumn Fixture
We managed to play our Autumn Fixture at Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club at Deal on 7th September 2022, as always fantastically organised by Antony Robson.
Notable victories were - David Oxley in the President's Cup, Stuart Harding in the Scratch competition with the best overall performance - the Veterans Jug, going to Neill Ballard.
Looking Ahead
Our Yuletide meeting for 2022 was held in early December, attended by the new School Headmaster, Damian King.
We are always looking for new members and keen to get more OCs playing golf with us. It's always good fun meeting back up with other OCs especially if they are from your era.
There are some serious golf competitions and some much more relaxed fixtures against the other Essex Public Schools Old Boy's golf teams, but mostly just good fun days where all can play, of all standards.
If you join us, I'm sure there are already members from you era who you will know.
Please just contact me at milestaylor@btinternet.com and I’ll add your email address to my OCGS list and whenever I send anything out, you'll receive it. You can decide whether to join us for anything at the time, at least you’ll know what’s going on.
