Bedfordshire | August 21st

Our August outing attracted 17 LEGS members to Bedfordshire Golf Club. Of these, 5 were members of the home club – so it was suggested that we should not look beyond them for our winner…

The golf course was one of the few that I’ve played on recently where preferred lies were not required. One of the opening tee shots of the day was hit by Handicap Secretary Andrew and as you can see, he attracted a gallery no doubt keen to monitor and learn from his technique – or was it to deliver the usual amount of stick on the 1st tee ?

At the end of a very enjoyable afternoon’s play, the winner was indeed one of the home-based players, Brian Bamber with 39 points. He certainly looked happy to receive his first LEGS trophy – almost as happy as he was to receive a bottle of Champagne !

As if to prove that the gallery was indeed watching his technique, Andrew Stevenson came in with 37 points to finish in 2nd place.  Our 3rd place was decided on countback with Pete Schofield edging out our Secretary with 36 points.

Since Pete was not allowed to take home more than one prize, it left Paul Jones as nearest the pin in 2 shots at the par 4 11th and the Secretary in 3 shots at the par 5 14th hole. With nobody able to find the green at the par 3 6th hole, I was amused by a mystery man in our final group for leaving us a message on our nearest the pin marker:

“The Directors of Bedfordshire are grateful to LEGS for protecting the putting surface !”

Our President, Mike Webb, was the proud recipient of the “Last Leg” trophy.

A summary of the scores is shown below together with the appropriate handicap adjustments.

After dinner, Trevor Horwood made his debut as our Finesmaster and his efforts, together with generous pre-match donations, raised an excellent total of £326 for this year’s Captain’s Charity – Crisis. Treasurer Jeff advised everyone that a payment was made to the charity a few weeks ago with £1,700 being transferred to their account. This was greatly appreciated by them, and they will be putting it to good use straight way.

Next month, our 2025 tour of 4 counties takes us back into Hertfordshire. We will be at the (currently parched) Knebworth GC on Thursday 18th September. I hope you can join us to play golf and if not, perhaps just for dinner. The entry form on our website is now open for business and our account awaits your entry fee.
