BB&O
Our 3rd game was against Bedfordshire at Studley Wood on 27th April. This was our second full match this season against another County and we were anxious to put behind us last week’s performance against Surrey. Studley Wood is also the venue for this year’s six man team event and so we were able to start learning the course and prepare better than any other year. Sadly, it was windy and cold again and the occasional hail shower certainly tested the players.
We had three of the Squad away on England regional duty and one with some imminent important exams, so we had to play a weaker team than we would have liked. We also lost an opportunity for three of the possible team to see the course for a couple of extra rounds.
The morning foursomes gave us a comfortable lead with four wins and a half from five matches. Leading pair, George Gardner and Sam Brass’s eagle on the last was probably the highlight to win their match 1 up and a good testament to their concentration all the way through the match.
The singles were generally disappointing against a traditionally weaker county. Although we tied them 5-5 for the overall win 9½-5½ we are going to need to do better.
