| OFGS Spring Meeting 2022 |
Last Updated: Tuesday, 17 May 2022
|
The OFGS Spring Meeting took place in beautiful spring like weather at Bishop’s Stortford Golf Club on Friday, 6th May. This was our second visit there and attracted a field of 18 players. This was a rather disappointing number, but some of our usual regular players were unable to play for various reasons. We were pleased to welcome Nick Gandy, Director of Sport at the College. Unfortunately, Neil Jackson was unable to play at the last moment because his car and clubs were stolen from his driveway overnight.
