Ann is the proud mum of Richard Bland the winner of the British Open and a regular on the European Tour. She is also a very good golfer herself. However, she outshines her famous son at cake making and is rightly famous for providing the sweet treats for her annual Ann Bland Trophy. On the day ‘Café 11’ was open showcasing Ann’s baking talents and the addition of Pimms proved to be a help to some and a hindrance to others.

On ursday 28th April a team of Bramshott Hill Seniors attended Amp eld Golf Club for an inter club ‘Match Play’ competition. e day was fairly overcast and quite chilly but no rain was forecast. Amp eld course, (for those that aren’t familiar with it) is a very pretty 18-hole par three course. is means that the game is di erent to a normal golf game as the long game does not exist and everything relies on a player’s short game. A very amicable game was enjoyed by all followed by an excellent dinner in the club house with all the usual banter. ey are pleased to report that Bramshott Hill won the day by ve games to one. ey look forward to the return match later in the year.
