Saturday 18th June 2011 - Peterborough Milton Golf Club - Midland Mens 6s qualifier - To paraphrase a once ranting Danish TV Football commentator - ' Ibbertson, Jewsbury, Dougill, Browning, Dodds, Carney - you were magnificent - the was one of the Bear's finest hours ...'

Friday 17th & Saturday 18th June will see us once again contend against our neighbouring counties in the 6 man team event - this is where all 6 scores will count over 36 holes so this is a high pressure day for all involved.

2011 Bainbridge Draw Sheet as at 13 June 2011.

First game to start the season took us to Harborne Golf Club where we were looking for a good result to kick start our attempt to the reclaim the midland league, well that was the plan!

Sunday 5th June 2011 - Sherwood Forest Golf Club vs Nottinghamshire. We kicked off our quest for the hat-trick of league wins with a visit to the wonderful Sherwood Forest Golf Club. This season has seen the second team reduced from 12-a-side to 10-a-side, but given the talent in my squad I was confident that we would hit the ground running.

Sunday 5th June - Warks 7 1/2 Derbys 7 1/2 -Because of exams and injury, we were forced to field 4 rookies for this match. Absentees included Nathan Ray (shoulder injury) and Luke Allen ('A' Levels), two of our top four, so we were, to say the least, expecting a hard day.

The format is teams of 6, playing 36 holes medal, with aggregate of best 5 scores in each round to count, the winning county to represent the Midlands in the National Finals in August. So how did we do and what went on?
