Match v USA Swifts at Sunningdale: 30 June
Peter Comber combined with the Stowe Golf Professional, Andrew Hancox, to field a combined Stoic/Old Stoic team to take on the might of the USA Swifts   
touring team. Previous GB Swifts tourists, Hayden Brooks and Stewart McNair were supported by Sunningdale members, Stephen Wilcox and Simon Chilton and
six Stoic golfers.The  USA Swifts were comfortable winners but the match helped get Stowe back on the Swifts circuit and with the strength of golf at the School
on the up we look forward to Stowe supplying GB Swifts representatives in the years to come.

A select group enjoyed an excellent Summer Meeting well organised as ever by Perry Hunt. The OSGS convincingly won the warm up match against the club on  
the Friday afternoon. The singles competition on Saturday saw Chris Luddington win the prestigious Buchanan Trophy on count back from Jeremy Scowsill who

Chatham and Choyce trophies
