This is the last Update for 2018. Attached is the Fixture List for 2019 which includes 25 matches, meetings and team events from early March to mid November.

Nearly 70 Old Stoics took part in fixtures in 2018 but we are very keen that even more golfers of all handicaps get involved in 2019.

Match v Haileybury at Sunningdale, 18 November

Although Peter Comber led from the rear with Nick Rice to win a point his team were not able to defend the trophy. President, Lorne Williamson & Hugo Douglass and Charles Dimpfl & John Da Silva halved their matches so the final result was 4-2 to Haileybury.
