The annual match between the Old Malvernian Golfing Society and the ORGS took place on Sunday 14th August at the Berkshire, Ascot. Blessed with fine weather and a reassuringly-honed team, expectations for an ORGS win were high – at least in the mind of the new match manager!
The morning rounds of St Andrews’ greensomes left the ORs trailing 3½; 2½, which seemed a slim margin despite the Malvern captain’s confidence in his team’s prowess after the usual excellent Berkshire lunch. His bravado was well placed with ORs finally succumbing 7½; 4½ to a deservingly stronger side on the day.
The match was played in excellent spirit and with many golfers renewing friendships. The event also provided an opportunity at lunch to raise a glass and remember David Calverley, the previous match manager who sadly died earlier this year.
