RESULTS

Well done OSGS for an excellent win in the Centenary year

Grafton Morrish Qualifying at Worplesdon 21st May: Qualified for the finals

The Society managed to qualify for the finals in October for the second year running. Peter Jarvis & Jean-Michel led the way with 30 points with William Hill & Will Berner (27) and Charlie Rotheroe & Ollie Clarke (26). Although Stowe came 4th out of 10 teams at Worplesdon The Grafton Morrish awarded the final place to Stowe as best non-qualifier.

Johnny Rowe, Peter Simmons, Peter Jarvis, James Gartside, Alim Jinnah, Ian Bendell and Will Berner together with Tim Hare (Interim Master in Charge of Golf) lost 2.5 to 1.5 to a School side without its top two players, Ed Davis (+3) and Chanelle Fontaine Geary (+2).
