The Old Harveians' Association

The 2008 School Golf Championship, sponsored by OHGS, was played at Sene Valley on April 3rd on a lovely sunny day. 19 boys played and the winner and Golf Champion for 2008 was Tom Hay (9 handicap) with the best Gross score of 78. The Runner up was Tom Bean.

The School team to play OHGS was chosen from the championship and the match OHGS v The School took place also at Sene Valley Golf Club on April 25th.

OHGS did have a pretty strong team and The School suffered from the loss last year of their star players Duncan Pike (1 handicap) and Luke Jennings ( 4 handicap) who are now at University.

OHGS had a convincing win 5 - 1
OHGS (Captain) Dick Young and John Denham won 5 & 1
Bob Chappell (Captain of Sene Valley) & Dave Green won 3 & 2
John Young and Tim Wren won 2 & 1
Geoff Cooke and Peter Thomas (both ex Harvey teachers) won2 & 1
Nick Hopkin and Simon Readman won 2 & 1
Greg Cowling and Gary Cochran were the only pair not to win.

It is with much sadness that I have to advise you all of the death on 25th January of William Green (Bill to everyone) .

Bill was one of the first members of the OHGS but gave up playing a few years ago. He played his golf at Sene Valley and then moved up to Etchinghill when it opened as it was in those days considered an easier option than Sene (that was before the top 9 holes were added).

I understand that the funeral will be at Barham Crematorium on 11th February but at this stage I do not know the time.

If any of you knew Bill it would be good to see him off with a good representation from OHGS and I hope to see some of you then.
