Old Grovian Golf Day: 07/05/2023
On Sunday 7th May, the Old Grovian Association held a Golf Day at Bradford Golf Club. The event was very well attended with around 40 Old Grovians, a handful of WGS staff and a couple of guests making up the 4-balls.
11 Teams took to the course in glorious sunshine, having enjoyed a bacon butty and a drink prior to starting their rounds. Despite it being relatively early in the season, the course was in good condition and was enjoyed by all who played.
Playing a 4-ball better ball Stableford format with two scores to count on each hole, the teams’ scores ranged from 73 points to the winning total of 92. The top three teams were as follows;
1st placed team – 92 Points – Joe Bedford (OG & Staff), Chris Softley (Staff), Matthew Dawson (Staff) & Gethin Clarke (Guest)
2nd placed team – 87 Points – Dan Nulty, Oliver Coughlan, Ben Rhodes & James (Foggy) Phillips
3rd Placed Team – 85 points – Will Coker, Andrew Percy, Ian Lawson & Richard Widdop
Prizes were also awarded for the following
Nearest the Pin – Martyn Bray
Nearest the pin in two – David Webster
Longest Drive – Stuart Henshaw (Guest)
The best individual performers on the day were Oliver Coughlan and Oliver Musgrave who both amassed an impressive 40 points.
Post-round refreshments were enjoyed on the fabulous terrace followed by a meal and the prizes being awarded. It was lovely for some familiar faces to pop in and join us for a drink after the golf, adding to the atmosphere of a terrific day.
I would like to record my thanks to George Grant (OG) Golf Operations Manager at Bradford Golf Club who helped arrange the event. Additional thanks go to the team captains for getting their groups together and to Ben Brown for contributing some items for our prize table.
I do hope that this event can become an annual occurrence, and it would be fantastic to see this grow in size. To any Old Grovian golfers out there; watch out for the details of next year’s event!
Anthony Cadman, Chairman of the OGA
