First, the record-breaking heatwave, which quite rightly reduced the rounds to 12 holes of the fabulous West Hill. And second and most important for OO golf, the evergreen pair of Nick Owles and Patrick Fossett, winning the Bunny Millard for over 75s, meaning Oundle have won five of the last six editions. An incredible achievement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As for the other two squads, it was a case of nearly but not quite. We lost in the semi-final of the GL Mellin Salver (over 55s) to Cheltenham on the final green, having already overcome our old adversary Shrewsbury in the 2nd round after two extra holes. Congratulations to pair 3, Barry Peak and William Rice, who won all 3 of their matches, including that heroic sudden death.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Peter Burles (for over 65s), lost agonisingly in extra holes in the 2nd round to our nemesis and eventual winners, Shrewsbury, having come through in sudden death in the first round versus Bedford.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An honourable mention must go to Nigel Hetherington and Michael Williams, who had a good enough qualifying score to get into the final four of the Bunny Millard, but tournament rules exclude them for being in the semis, if the same school has already one pair through. Bad luck but well done.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Despite the incredible heat, great fun was had by all, both on and off the course, and thank you to the hardcore of supporters for their encouragement: Shane Dodd, Peter Fox-Andrews and James Aston.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mellin 1<sup>st<\/sup> Round v Bedford<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steve Carr (S84) &amp;
