Berks Bucks & Oxon Golf
BB&O
This weekend, our Elite Juniors and their opponents Hertfordshire were lucky to have the chance to play at Woburn where the boys played the Marquess course for the morning foursomes and the intimidating Duchess course for the afternoon singles matches. Both course were in excellent condition, looked fabulous and the club’s staff were very helpful and welcoming.
Sadly the weather brought both winter and autumn conditions back with blustery winds making play challenging throughout the day. Although it was dry in the morning the temperature appeared to stay in single figures and it became colder as the day went on. A prolonged downpour during the lunch interval left many areas of the course including greens with casual water. Later in the day, there were more heavy showers interspersed with hail, thunder and lightning which particularly affected the conditions for the last four groups.
Hertfordshire has always been a good side to beat and this year their best team arrived unbeaten for our annual encounter. BB&O won the foursomes 4-1 and in the afternoon increased their lead to give us an overall 11-4 victory.
Notable wins in the foursomes came from Pat Bart & Michael East and Tim Shin & Zac Cooper who both won their games 5&4 and George Gardner & Alex Nicholls won 3&2. Standout performances in the singles came from George Gardner 6&4, Louis Moore 5&3, Alex Buckner 4&3 and Michael East 3&2. However special mention must go to Elliot Wills and Zac Cooper who had to battle it out until the final hole in thundery, cold and gloomy conditions, finishing their matches at around 7.30pm and winning 1 up and 2 up respectively.
