Changes to the web site

To allow confidential information to be put on the web site without fear of it being compromised, the Fixture calendar has been moved to the protected area of the web site, so you now have to log into the web site in order to access it and register for matches

Please note revised date of match ve Burnham & Berrow - correct dates are 14-15 April 2012
(updated 19 Jan 2012)

To help Match Managers, you are strongly encouraged to register for as many matches as possible.  The Match Manager will choose the team from those registered on the web site and by other means (telephone, email or any other means of your choosing), so the more members that register the easier it becomes for the Match Manager to get a full side.

Registration has been simplified, so hopefully you will find it very quick and easy to do so

Fixture card 2012

The new fixture card is now available for downloading and will be sent out shortly by email - there will also be a stock of printed fixture cards. If you would like to receive a printed fixture card and have not requested one previously, please amend your profile before 18th January and you will be sent one (we have already updated the profiles of those who have requested a printed fixture card last year).  To amend you profile, click on'View profile' in the top right hand corner of the screen and follow the prompts.

Please note that Neil Hinds has made an excellent start at posting results of matches on the web site (see Match results). If you have any photos of past matches, please send them in and we can use them to liven up the page.

Marlborough victorious in Bernard Darwin after 23 years

Marlborough regained the Bernard Darwin trophy for the first time since 1988 beating Charterhouse in the final.  After a comfortable victory against Rugby in the first round, Marlborough overcame Eton in the second.  This was an excellent win because Eton, much to the delight of all the other participating schools, had put out Tonbridge in the first round.  Tonbridge were the tournament favourites, who with the same team had monopolised the trophy for five consecutive years (2006-2010).  Nick Denny and newcomer Tim Parry won the deciding match at the first, which was in fact the sixteenth hole played because Marlborough's draw meant starting at the fourth tee for the first two rounds.

Marlborough then faced Wellington with the pairing of Tim Martin-Jenkins and Malcolm Cornish, unusually for a semi-final, not having previously played any of the first three holes (neither of their first two matches had gone beyond the fifteenth hole played).  A birdie three at the first extra hole from the rock solid pairing of James Hopper and Robert Wace saw Marlborough through to the final in the deciding match.

In the final, Marlborough faced Charterhouse, another school with an enviable reputation in public schools' golf.  Comfortable victories by Hopper and Wace (4/3) and Denny and Parry (3/2) saw Marlborough home 2-1.

The winning team (from left to right): Malcolm Cornish, Tim Parry, Nick Denny (Captain holding the trophy), Robert Wace, James Hopper and Tim Martin-Jenkins.

Inspired team selection by the Captain, Nick Denny, and unbeaten performances by the pairings of Hopper/Wace and Denny/Parry were keys to the team's success.  Great support from the spectators and the good wishes from those who could not make in person made all the difference.

The magnificent Darwin Trophy was on display at the OMGS dinner in October, so hopefully you saw it
