The OFGS Spring Meeting took place at Frinton Golf Club on Thursday, 7 May. This was our first visit to Frinton and attracted a good field of 25 players who were well looked after by the Professional and other staff.
There were three new faces in Ian and Matthew Low, members of the home club, and John Ellerby. Guy Lennox, who had not played in recent years, made a welcome return to OFGS golf. As can be seen from the results below the new boys did rather well! The course was generally in good condition, but the greens, recently sanded as part of a maintenance programme, were not easy to putt on. This was no problem for Norman Mayhew on the 13th as he had a hole in one and won a 4 Ball Voucher kindly presented by the Frinton Professional!
The weather was kind to us with a gentle breeze and sunny skies – the previous day would have been nigh impossible with winds of up to 50 mph!!

At the AGM, Hugh Curle was elected Captain of OFGS for a two year term. He replaced Norman Porter who had led the Society for the last two years with his usual enthusiasm and energy.
Richard Graves, who has run the First Team for the last three years, agreed to carry on for another year.
Mike Schneidau has taken over the running of the Cyril Gray team from Barry Lorkin to whom we are most grateful for his many years of organising.
Hugh Curle has taken over the running of the matches against Aldeburgh GC and the College from Robin Anderton to whom we also owe a great debt of gratitude.
