Match Report

BT v St Audrys, 2000

On a very pleasant summers evening, twelve members of BTRGS met a similar number of St Audrys members in an annual match that has been played for the last 25 years (ish). Over that period of time, numerous changes to the surroundings have taken place. No longer is play interrupted by patients from the hospital walking across the fairways. Indeed, the hospital has been sold to a property developer and a sympathetic conversion of some of the old hospital buildings into ‘des res’ has been performed.

The course continues to improve and the fairways and greens on this occasion were the best I have seen for quite a number of years, due in no small part I suspect, to the new green keeper and new equipment.

Local knowledge together with the small and tricky greens must favour the local team and this was proved to be so with St Audrys winning by the small margin of one hole.

The match concluded with a very nice buffet in the original Social Club (for the last time) and next year it will be held in a brand new Sports & Social Club due for completion by September 2000.
