Coming just a month after RWNGC’s 125th anniversary, a grand scale celebration attended by several OH members of the club, our meeting this year was also special in that it attracted a record number of 40 entrants, well above our norm for both Spring and Autumn meetings, and gratefully accepted by the club secretary.

The Bernard Darwin

2017

The Harrovian team for the Bernard Darwin this year had an interesting statistic – five of the six representing the side played cricket at Lords v Eton – the Captain of the BD side being the sad omission and ruining what I suspect would have been a unique full house! What that meant of course was that there was a natural competitive spirit within and an aversion to losing to Eton, both of which stood Harrow in good stead.

Public Schools Midlands meeting, 28th June 2017

by

2017

The day turned out very differently from expectations for Harrow. First and foremost a triumph when Adrian Gracey aced Little Aston’s 5th. hole in the morning rain. Many congratulations to him and thanks for the Kummel which helped greatly to lift otherwise damp spirits among our team. Can anyone else claim this rare hole in one distinction, or is this a new record for OHGS golf?
