2 days prior to the first event of 2025 & Greg Banks had pulled out due to injury. 24 hours to go & he was back in and headed to Bewdley Pines with little hope of finishing in the top half! However, beware of the injured golfer & 18 holes later, Phil Wing watched Greg par the 18th to take the clubhouse lead! Scores were low on the day, with a course that was extremely dry for the time of year, leading to running fairways & greens!
Phil had managed a decent score & like most, had not touched a club for a good few months! Adrian Heath continued his good form with 3rd & although Andrew Allsopp led at 9 with 18 points, he could not replicate this on the back 9!
The independent draw has thrown up many repeat matches from years gone by. Matt Hopkinson faces Andrew Allsopp, with Smiffy & Wingy going head to head in the first round proper!
Pairings are normally drawn in consideration of members' playing partners outside the society.
Greg Banks & Phil Wing have secured their point for this event (rounded up!) Each event awards the top half of the leaderboard with points & the bottom classified 'Missed Cut'
Team Seve secured another close Puckrup finish by a single point on the 18th & last match of the event!

Create an inclusive Society that provides a platform for all abilities to improve their game with a professional 'Tour' feel, not distracting from the enjoyment & banter of friendship & loyalty.

With less Tour duties, Phil has been busy behind the scenes updating the stats from all events over the last 27 years. The website build continues with all the historic data.
We welcome Dan Bryant & Paul Norris to the society & hope they enjoy the Society as much as we do!
Dan was introduced by Paul Wilson, with Jim inviting Paul.
The Society funds are in the best shape ever & we thank the Member's for their support. 2025 events will be subsidised, as most green fees are £45 plus!
We will continue with the WHS, playing SLR at each event. The Society system, albeit brutal at times, does work for our play & we ask Member's to self police & be honest with their level of play.
Both away days are now booked, with a welcome return to Hawkstone Park in September. We have used society funds to secure deposits, but will need individual deposits soon!
VPAR will continue to be our scoring system & they've made several improvements with the APP. Please ensure your profile name includes SGA, ensuring we pick the correct profile when setting the event.
For further information, please feel free to contact us. We'll be glad to assist you!
