| Grafton Morrish Qualifying 2013: Dateline 11th May |
Last Updated: Wednesday, 29 May 2013
|
David Turnbull, OFGS Hon. Sec. writes: "Following the recent success of the Halford Hewitt team, the OFGS team set off for the beautiful surroundings of Knole Park Golf Club, Sevenoaks, with high hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the tournament.
Playing with Sutton Valence in the South East regional qualifying round on Saturday, 11 May, the well-established pairing of Gavin Cowell and John Wybar made an excellent start, scoring 25 points. Unfortunately the pairings of Charlie Plunkett and Matt Stolls, and Rob Atton and Hugh Curle were unable to match this, and the team scored a total of 62 points to finish at the lower end of the table, thus failing to qualify for the knockout stages."

| OF Golf Spring Meeting |
Last Updated: Thursday, 23 May 2013

|
The OFGS Spring Meeting took place for the fourth time at Royal Worlington & Newmarket Golf Club on Thursday, 9 May. The weather was fine and sunny, but there was an extremely strong wind which made good scoring difficult for most people. The course, as always, was testing and in excellent condition. Everyone enjoyed a good lunch and were well looked after by the secretary and his staff.

| College Shooting Team Gets OF Wisdom |
Last Updated: Sunday, 5 May 2013

Half a dozen of our youngsters had barely seen a full-bore rifle, let along actually fired one when the masters of the OF Rifle Club got their hands on them.
By the end of the weekend the 12 keen young things were all on target (pretty much) and the odd decent score of above 30 (ex 35) was pinning the target.

Best of luck Peter and we look forward to hearing from you afterwards.

| OFGS Heroes End 24 Year Halford Hewitt Drought |
Last Updated: Wednesday, 24 April 2013

 David Turnbull, OFGS Secretary, writes with news to lift the spirits of OF Golfers everywhere:
“On Thursday, 11th April we were drawn to play against Stonyhurst in the first round at Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club, Deal. For the second time since his captaincy of the team, Richard Graves arranged for the team to play some practice rounds at the beginning of March, and this definitely paid off.
For once, we were able to field our strongest team, so hopes of success were high. Pat Spraggs, our top player, made the long journey down from Scotland to join Richard Graves, Rob Atton, Gavin Cowell, Jonny Newton, Charlie Plunkett, Matt Stolls, Andrew Towler, Peter Watts and Johnny Wybar, with Mike Schneidau as reserve.

| Why do more Stradbroke OFs go to the London Suppers? |
Last Updated: Monday, 1 April 2013
|
Dr Neville Marsh (S53-61) an academic Professor of some distinction, writes in with a fascinating conundrum “I find it interesting if not surprising that at every London Supper in recent years, the number of Stradbroke OF’s far outnumber those from any other house. Does anyone have an explanation? A quick perusal of recent Yearbooks reveals that over the last four London suppers, Stradbroke Old Boys made up nearly half the turnout whilst Garrett, Kerrison and Rendlesham Houses contributed less than a 1/5th each (I have discounted the newer houses for the sake of simplifying the arithmetic). Equally interestingly, when you look at the Suffolk Suppers, the turnout is much more even: Garrett is slightly ahead at 29% and Stradbroke slightly behind at 21%.
Does this simply mean that more ex-Stradbroke folk live near London and if so, why? I offer as a prize for the most logical and/or amusing explanation, a bottle of South Australia’s finest shiraz wine!”
Email Neville with your suggestions.
