A fine fourteen-strong OFGS team took on Aldeburgh Golf Club on Saturday 11th September – the day following the OFGS Autumn Meeting (report to follow). Robin Anderton, who is himself an Aldeburgh member and organises this match, reports that the course was in splendid condition and that the Club looked after our team superbly.
The match consisted of five foursomes games in the morning with a further five played after the usual excellent Aldeburgh lunch. The morning round was closely contested, with the OFGS team winning 3-2. In the afternoon, our gallant players swept through 3½ to 1½ for an overall 6½ to 3½ victory - our first in the current era.
