England Golf South-East Region Seniors League Final at Bedfordshire Golf Club - Hampshire Win Again
On Thursday 19th October we were delighted to host the England Golf South East Region Seniors League Final between Hampshire and Hertfordshire.
There were 10 members of each team in this 'singles' match and the final score was Hampshire 6 Hertfordshire 4
Hampshire won last year so they successfully retained their title.
As the club hosting this event, we received many complimentary comments including:
Both Captains commenting on the impressive quality of the course and particularly the greens (fast and true) and the fairways (consistently and uniformly high quality).
Despite rain and mist on the day, both Captains were happy that we had not implemented 'winter rules' and agreed that the lies were all excellent
Virtually every player we spoke to said that their home course is playing winter rules and they were amazed at how good our course is in October!
The President of Hertfordshire Golf took pictures of the 6th Green with no players on it and when asked why, he said that he was going to send them to the Course Manager at his own club as an example of how neat and tidy green edges should look!
A number of players and officials commented on the warm and friendly welcome they had received (during both the practice and competition rounds) from both staff and members.
The President of Bedfordshire Golf and his senior officers were all extremely impressed by the quality of the course, facilities generally and the hospitality extended and commented specifically about the very impressive way in which we hosted this event which they felt reflected very well on the county generally.
All in all - well done to the greens team and all those who helped or supported the event from Bedfordshire Golf Club. We should feel very proud of just how impressed everyone was about our club.
The photos show the winning team (Hampshire) and the whole group enjoying the hospitality in the lounge afterwards.
