| Luke Williams our 2009 BB&O Junior Champion |
| Luke Williams (Hadden Hill) beat Tyrrell Hatton (Harleyford) in a sensational 3 hole play off at Mill Ride on 9th April. Tied on 145 after 36 holes, a large crowd gathered to watch as Tyrrell started with 2 excellent pars and found himself 3 shots adrift after Luke's 2 twos at the short 15th and par 4 16th! Tyrrell's birdie 3 at the difficult 14th was to no avail as Luke calmly held his nerve to land his first big title. You can watch this event at www.buckstv.co.uk |
| Max wins the McEvoy! |
| Max Smith (Newbury Race Course & England U18) wins the 2009 Peter McEvoy 5 under par with rounds of 69, 35, 69 and 70, one shot clear from Billy Downing (Truro) with Joshua White (Chipstead) in third place. Heavy thunder reduced the first day's play to 27 holes and steady rain fall on the second day meant greens staff were kept busy keeping the greens free from casual water. Max was observed by an England selector durng the morning round of the second day who reported a near perfect round of go Find out more... |

| U13/12 vs County Girls |
28/9/2008
Hazlemere Golf Club
On a sunny day with some very fast greens the U13/12s BB&O boys played a representative Girls side from the three Lady Unions.
The game was played in excellent spirit and some great golf was seen from both sides.
This was the first of these matches and hopefully will become a regular fixture.
After a very close match the boys gained an excellent win against a strong girls squad 5-4.

| Junior Manager Vacancy |
| The BB&O Junior Management team is hoping to recruit a new Junior Manager following the resignation of Mike Styrka, the present U12 Manager, who has been in the role for some five years. We hope to attract a keen supporter of Junior Golf, someone who can spend time organising and supervising matches and coaching sessions. A person who is willing and able to be part of the strategic and tactical decision making forum. Someone, male or female, who can devote up to 10 odd days a year supporting Cou Find out more... |
| Open Days update |
| The recently staged open days were a huge success again with about 100 boys and girls attending the sessions at the three venues. So successful have they been so good was the talent that it will take us longer than anticipated to report back to individual participants. We aim to do this by early November. Thank you for your patience. |
| BB&O v Sussex Under 18s at Crews Hill |
| Dean Newbold (Frilford Heath) and Steven O'Connor (Tadmarton Heath) were the only winners for BB&O in the morning foursomes in which Sussex led by 4 points to 1. In the afternoon singles Chris Whelehan (West Berkshire), Steven O'Connor and James Bromham (Richings Park) all lost very close matches on the eighteenth whilst Michael Johnson (Maidenhead) came tantalisingly close to a win on the last green but secured a half. Victories by James Brockington (Henley) and James Tobia (Woburn) made the fi Find out more... |

| BB&O v Middlesex Under 18s at Crews Hill |
Dean Newbold (Frilford Heath) and Steven O'Connor (Tadmarton Heath) were the only winners for BB & O in the morning foursomes which Middlesex won by 3.5 points to 1.5.
The afternoon singles saw a spirited fight by BB&O but the margins of victories in every match really meant that the overall result was a foregone conclusion at the turn. Nevertheless there were some good victories by Chris Whelehan (West Berkshire), the Frilford pair of Dean Newbold and George Munsey, James Bromham (Richin Find out more... |

| BB&O v Surrey Under 16s at Huntercombe |
on August 26th 2008
The Mortimer Ubiquitous Golf Society (MUGS) hosted this event for the fifteenth consecutive year and, with home advantage, BB & O raced to an early lead in most of the foursomes and maintained that lead to lunch with what seemed like a comfortable advantage. However, a spirited fight back by Surrey in the afternoon singles clearly showed that the advantage was not comfortable.
Jordan Mann (Sand Martins) and George Abbott (The Oxfordshire) both held comfortable l Find out more... |

| Smith leads BB&O to 4somes victory at the Warren |
| The EGU SE group Foursomes took place at the Warren this August and having come third in this event last year the BB&O boys took the title for the first time since 1989 when Rob Watts and Jason Brant, now both County coaches, were part of that winning team. Taking an early lead after the first morning with a perfect 4 points, the boys repeated that performance in the afternoon and again the next morning thus going into the final afternoon's play 4 points ahead ahead of 2nd placed Sussex.

| Munsey takes the Gold Medal |
| Fifteen year old George Munsey (Frilford Heath) wins the Gold Medal at Woodhall Spa. Played on the Bracken Course George put together two good rounds of 34 and 38 to win the prize by one shot from his two nearest rivals. Played under difficult conditions, the first day's 34 left him in eleventh position but conditions improved on the second day and George shot a 38 which was equalled by one other player. He is the third successive teenager to win this major handicap tournament. For picture and D Find out more... |

| Home Counties Final League Match |
On August 12th the team visited North Middlesex Golf Club for the final match of the Home Counties series. The course was in excellent condition with some tricky holes to negotiate.
With two of the squad playing at the Reid Trophy we made some changes to the team at a blustery day with newcomers Declan Duffy and Josh Brass making their debut.
After the foursome we were level with Bedfordshire and trailing Middlesex by 2 points. Everybody scored at least a half and this proved to be Find out more... |
| Triangular Victory! |
The Under 14s travelled to Hartley Wintney for the annual triangular tournament against Hampshire and Wiltshire.
In difficult conditions more similar to autumn than mid summer the team gave an excellent display beating both Counties and winning the tournament outright.
The whole team played an important part and fought their matches all the way through with some players gaining extra points on the last. There were some excellent performances on the final hole and some fine putting Find out more... |
| Under 14's v Herts and Beds |
The team played the second match of the season at home to another strong Herts side and a good team from Beds.
The morning foursomes saw us earn a decisive win against Beds 5-0 but a lack of concentration on the last holes left us trailing Herts 1-4.
We carried on the good performance in the afternoon against Beds with a fine 8-2 victory in the singles but the deficit on Herts was too much to make up and we lost to them.
Every member of the team scored points on the day and Find out more... |

He produced the 7th best score in the two rounds of stroke play (out of 288) and played well in the match play stages beating Jonathan Gidney (Church Stretton) 5&3 and Billy Fowles (Wentworth) 4&3 in the first two rounds. Five up with 9 to play in the 3rd round and Paisley stepped up several gears to produce 5 birdies and an eagle in the last 9 holes to go all square at the 18th.

| Under 14s v Herts and Middlesex |
On July 29th the team travelled to Aldenham, and despite two defeats by strong Herts and Middlesex teams the BB&O boys showed some excellent promise for the coming years. For most players this was their County debut and they handled themselves very well both on and off the course. Everyone enjoyed themselves and were very tired at the end of the day but were all a great credit to the County.
Congratulations to Joe Townsend who won both his foursomes and both his singles to gain maximum points Find out more... |

| Junior golf the big winner in first U13s matches |
BB&O U13 boys played their first competitive match against Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire on 20h July at Temple Golf Club on a fine Sunday afternoon. All matches were played in fine competitive spirit. Hertfordshire just beat BB&O and the match against Bedfordshire was halved. There were many spectators out on the course supporting our young players. As one of the commentators said; "the ultimate winner is Junior golf"!
The scores are available in the Results section of this Junior web site. |

Four solid rounds in sometimes challenging conditions produced cards of 69, 70, 71 and 72. James finished two shots behind the runner up Jamie Carnie (Shirley) and 4 shots behind Workingtons Seb Crookhall-Nixon. Well done James. |
| BB&O's U13s Hewitt & West win in Junior Golf Tour |
| There was quality in depth in the 10 & under age group, so it needed a great round from Damien Hewitt (Bearwood GC) to claim the win with rounds of 77 and 79. The Academy Group played 18 holes and were split into 2 age sections, the 8 & under's and 10-12's, Harry West (Calcot Park GC) was virtually flawless during his wonderful round of 56, just 2 over par, to not only win the 8 & under age group but also card the best round of the day.

Boys Team Winners

| BB&O Boys come third in the 6 man team |
| After an indifferent morning round, shooting 21 over in the 5 counting scores and putting us in 6th place, the BB&O team really stepped up several gears and returned a cracking 4 over afternoon round which was easily the best score of the whole day! Sadly we came third over all, 7 shots behind the winners Surrey. Eddie Pepperell's level par perfomance over the two rounds won him the David Neech trophy for the best individual score. |
| B&O v Herts match report (9.5 - 5.5) |
In the morning foursomes the honours were shared with comfortable wins on both sides. The last match, however, saw James Bromham and Mark Kirby (both Richings Park) recover from 5 down with 6 to play to get a halved match on the eighteenth with some excellent short game saves under great pressure.
The singles started well with Oli Tite (Frilford) and Michael Johnson (Maidenhead) winning the first two points in commanding fashion. In the end a 7 - 3 win in the singles belied a much tighte Find out more... |
| BB&O U18s score emphatic victory over Beds |

There were many excellent performances with Maidenhead's Michael Johnson taming both the course and his opponent with an emphatic 8 & 6 victory. Good victories by Steven O'Connor, Asa Phillips Joe Richardson, Oli Tite, James Tobia and Robert Harrhy meant that victory was assured before all matches were finished. However Ben Kirby, who looked defeated on the 17th green, continued to fight and turned his match round bravely an Find out more... |
