Thirty-three geriatric OCs assembled at Cranleigh on Wednesday June 2 for this annual golf event. Unlike last year the weather was fabulous, the course presented excellently but to prove a very tough challenge even to the single figure handicaps present. This year, like cricket squares, the greens were a little rough due to the lack […]

It is about 20 years since Paul Jackson (2 North, 1964) founded this Club. It has almost 130 members now, and almost 50 attended this latest gathering. It is, of course, more than fun – […]

Hopes were high following numerous trials including the new Sunningdale fixture but the OCs were comfortably outplayed on the day.
