Hampshire Hog & Selbourne Salver
Some of the early season Men’s National events are starting to take place and BB&O had a lot of representation in both the Hampshire Hog & Selbourne Salver. The Selbourne Salver was played first and Peter Handcock (Harleyford) played magnificently and posted rounds of 70 & 65 which gave him a total of 135 (-3). Unfortunately this was 1 shot too many and Peter finished in second. David langley (Castle Royle) also had 2 impressive rounds leaving him on the same score as Peter but 4th on countback. Also inside the top 20 were Taylor Paul (Stoke park) & Melan Dhaubhadel (Calcot Park).

The Salver and Hog events combine to give a 72 hole winner with important WAGR points up for grabs. David Langley unfortunately finished just 1 stroke behind the eventual winner. His rounds of 67, 68, 67 & 71 gave him a 4 round total of 273. Some very impressive scoring and unlucky to just miss out on the title. It wasn’t just David who finished high up in the overall competition, BB&O had 6 players occupying the top 30. These players were David Langley, Melan Dhaubhadel, Olly Huggins, Tim Shin, Taylor Paul & Rory Browne (Feldon Valley). This just shows the strength in depth that BB&O has and The First Team travel to Essex on May 13th for their first league match of 2018.
