Fawley RFC U12’s Need You! Hythe & Dibden Under-13’s (back in 2018) Anyone for Cricket? Bramshott Hill Seniors Results As morning broke on Monday 29th March 2021, strange things began to happen. Alarm clocks sounded and men awoke and started to gather their equipment. Shiny shoes, clean clubs and trolleys, winter clothing discarded, they made their way to the eld of battle. 41 contestants gathered at Dibden Golf Course ready for the rst game of golf in several months. e weather appeared to encourage them to play with glorious sunny conditions, the course had been prepared to an excellent standard by the MyTime Golf sta and the Seniors of Bramshott Hill Golf Club were more than ready to play. A er a long period without being able to play, players were not expecting any high scores but just the pleasure of being out on the course with like-minded company was reward enough. e game was a non-qualifying Stableford Game just to allow them to get back into the swing. A er 18 holes some decent scores (under the circumstances) were returned. e results are as follows: Division 1: 1st Kevin Rothwell , 2nd Robert Hallett , 3rd Henry Porter . Division 2: 1st Ronald Gooding, 2nd David Kellaway , 3rd Gerald Murphy . Along with the rest of the country they are hoping that the ‘Lockdowns’ are now over but this depends on everyone continuing to follow the safe COVID- 19 rules for some time yet. Be assured Bramshott Hill players will observe the required rules to enable them to continue playing. Please stay safe and enjoy the freedoms as they come along.
