Page 72 • The HERALD • 25th August 2022 v SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE HERALD v SPORT IN THE HERALD Seniors Team Open Wednesday 20th July saw the Bramshott Seniors host their annual Seniors Open. is year, they experimented with a new format of making it a team event open only to other clubs; it was hoped this would make it more appealing and it certainly worked. 20 teams (80 players in all) entered from clubs who have never entered before such as Brockenhurst, Salisbury & South Wilts, Upavon and Hartley Witney amongst many others. Fantastic feedback was received from the visitors about the format, the organisation and the friendliness of the welcome and for the many seniors players who gave up their day for ball spotting - to say nothing of the cakes and savouries available at Café 11 the halfway house. A big thank you also has to go to the greenkeeping sta who had the course looking great and who went the extra mile to make sure all of the tees were set up, bunkers were raked and the greens were in fantastic shape.
