| Home Counties Final League Match |
| Wed 13th Aug |
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... |

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 putt... |

| Under 14's v Herts and Beds |
| Mon 4th Aug |
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 a... |

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 poi... |

| Fri 27th Jun |

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.

| BB&O Boys come third in the 6 man team |
| Sat 31st May |
| 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. |

Dear Jan, I hope you don't mind me contacting you but my son, James dob 25.02.93 attended the BB&O junior coaching sessions in October and December. He came away with lots of helpful ideas on how to improve his game, including John Cook's recommendation of counting the number of putts on a round and aiming to reduce them. Unfortunately, James did not make it through to the next round but in the letter dated 15.01.08 from John Cook and yourself it said to stay in touch and let you know ho... |

Just to update you on how I've been playing recently. I played the final of our junior knockout tournament last weekend and won 6 & 5. I was only given two shots. I don't know if I told you but I came runner up in April's medal. In the May medal I finished tied first but finished fourth on countback. I should have won but a silly tee shot on the last sent the ball o.o.b. and I ended up making an 8. I caddied for France yesterday against England and really learnt a lot... |
