West Surrey Golf Club hosted a Triangular Match among the Old Eastbournians, the Old Reedonians (Reeds School, Cobham, Surrey) and the Old Dovorians (Dover College, Kent) on 10^th October 2024.

Playing in clement, seasonal weather, 18 competitors in 6 three-ball matches teed off, aspiring to achieve the highest Stableford score individually and for their team, with additional prizes for the straightest (or was it the longest?) drive – no-one seemed sure! –  nearest the pin on the short par three 12th, and nearest the pin in two on the slight dogleg 16th hole.

The OE team consisted of Tony Dunn, David Burt, Iryna and Alex Photiou, David Dunn and Mike Hutchinson. Most made a pig’s ear of it – which I suppose is triangular – aggregating only 161 points. The Old Dovorians scored 171. The Old Reedonians won with an outstanding 206 points.

The winner of the individual Stableford competition was Andy Macharg (OR) with 40 points. Nearest the pin on the 12th was Jeremy Sherwood (Captain of the ORs) and nearest the pin in two on the 16th hole was Richard Owen (OD).

Thanks go to West Surrey for providing such wonderful facilities and to David Burt (OEGS Secretary) for organising the event.
