Well what a year. Where do we begin? We’ll start with the golf season where both the 1s and 2s got promoted from their respective divisions meaning the 1s will be in the top league for next year. The 2s also got to the Midland Cup Final which they unfortunately lost in a playoff.
23 socials took place across Selly Oak where memories were made and many drinks were consumed (some more than others).
We also had the pleasure of playing Little Aston in a match which was followed by an equally great social occasion. We look forward to playing them again next year.
And then there was the 1s cup run. Beating Loughborough, Exeter and Surrey secured a place in the final at Woodhall Spa in what was a great few days for the boys, but in the end it wasn’t to be.
Movember also took place where we raised £1729. Many challenges took place including no eating for 72 hours, buzz cuts and half marathons.
As always thanks to everyone for their support, as well as for the use of their facilities during the season.

What a day. The 1s booked their place in the Premier South for next season much to Clements’ delight as they beat Portsmouth in a cagey match. Norris won convincingly yet again in his 5th year of BUCS golf, whilst Carter lost in his final game for the uni. Ashton finished his uni golf career with a Seve like bunker shot on the 18th to halve his match, leading to roars from the crowd that could be heard from across the golf course. Roberto tuned his match around by winning the last 2 holes to win, whilst Toby’s brilliant form continued as he won his first game for the 1s. Storer unfortunately lost on the last, and Gaz won comfortably. Louis defeated his opponent on the last with a clutch putt to secure the 5.5-2.5 win. A big thanks to everyone who came down and supported the boys.

The final game of the BUCS season is upon us and some will say it is the biggest of them all. The 1s try to return back to the Prem as they face Portsmouth in the Playoff Final at . Carter and Ashton will be hoping for a good result in their final ever BUCS matches in what have been stellar careers. Commiserations to captain Clem who misses out due to injury. Safe travels to all the fans who are coming down to Edge from 12 to support the boys!

Good luck to Alfie and Ollie who travel to the south coast to Princes Golf Club to compete in the Strokeplay Tour Final which starts tomorrow. Ollie is 26th and Alfie 45th in the current order of merit rankings so both players will be hoping to improve throughout the week. Thanks to Sion who is on caddy duties. Live scoring link is below and will be on the story:

The 1s are in the cup final. Loughborough, Exeter and Surrey have been beaten on the way and the 1s descend on Woodhall Spa to face Lancashire. Carter and Alfie return for the 1s hoping to continue their fine form. Commiserations to Norris who has chosen to focus on his exams ( ). The foursomes will take place in the morning, with singles in the afternoon. Follow the story for updates to support your Lions 🦁

The 1s booked their place in the National Trophy win with a comfortable win over Surrey at the Drift (yes that is a name of a real golf club). UoB dominated the foursomes in the morning with Norris + Gaz, and Rob + Ollie winning convincingly. Ashton and Clements sealed the whitewash morning session down the 18th to give us a big lead going into the singles. In the afternoon, Gaz led from the front with a 7&6 win, before Ashton lost on the last against their +4 player (somehow off +4??). Norris confirmed the victory for the boys with yet another win. Clements won again down 18 to secure the 6-3 victory and send the 1s to the final at Woodhall Spa on the 23rd April where they’ll face either St Andrews or UCLan. Well done to the lads!

One final term of BUCS matches await as the 1s travel from across the country and descend on the Drift Golf Club to face Surrey. The boys will be hoping to continue their cup run after an impressive comeback in Exeter sent the Brum boys to the semis. Commiserations to President Carter on missing out due to severe illness. Best of luck to the 6 lads and follow the stories for updates.

The 1s headed south to Exeter in the quarter final of the nationals hoping to extend their cup run. A 6:50am start at Dawlish was definitely less than ideal, and Norris + Gaz started slowly. Some good play from Exeter and missed putts from UoB meant the pair lost before the clock even hit 9am (must be some sort of record). Roberto and Clem battled hard in the middle pairing in a tight match, but lost on the 17th after some unfortunate luck on the back 9. Carter and Ollie gave UoB a chance with a battering in the final foursomes.
Several hours later the singles got underway with Ollie and Gaz leading UoB off. Exeter tried their best to guarantee a point by putting a 1s player in their team (what’s the point in rules??) but Ollie wasn’t having any of it. A birdie on the last secured his win, and well done to him for 2/2 points on the day. Gaz lost on the 18th after some questionable ruling from the Exeter boys. Roberto and Norris cruised to victories in the middle group, meaning only 1 point was needed from Clem or Carter. Carter started strong but faded towards the end and ultimately lost, but some Tiger-esque putting on the back 9 from Clem meant he turned his match around. An 8 foot par putt on the last was needed for the win, and it was interesting to see the Exeter players getting ready for the playoff (not sure if they can count). It was never in doubt for Clem and fair to say the Exeter boys (especially their 1s player) and their coach weren’t best pleased.
The 1s will travel to Surrey in the semi finals. Well done to the lads!
