The BDGS Intermediate Cup competition took place on Sunday 12 May at Brighton and Hove Golf Club on one of the hottest days of the year so far. The competition consists of two rounds of 18 holes. West Hove played the Dyke in the morning round and were narrowly beaten putting them in the Plate competition against East Brighton in the afternoon. The afternoon battle commenced and was neck and neck most of the time between both teams with 4 pairs from each team arriving at the clubhouse lying all square and awaiting the final two pairs in opposition to decide the outcome. Eventually, the four players emerged in the sunlight to the 18th green; West Hove on the green for 3, East Brighton for 4 having lost their ball from the second shot to the green. West Hove won the hole and the match 3 & 2 taking home the BDGS Plate and importantly, more points for the Victor Delorum element of the whole annual event. West Hove are in joint leading place at present. Whilst all team members played wonderfully, it is worthy of note that Russ Newland and Mark Haggart maintained a 100% win in both rounds and are to be congratulated, as are all the team.
Congratulations to members Natalie Evans and Lee Bonaldi who are the proud winners of the Sussex Captain's Spring Mixed Competition at Highwoods Golf Club on 25 April. Natalie and Lee won with a score of 40 points, very well played guys!

Stealing home advantage paid dividends with a narrow victory for Lynne and Vicki in round 1 of the Daily Mail Foursomes. All square going down the 18th, Lynne holed a 3ft putt to put pressure on our opponents, who had a 2ft putt to force the game round to the first hole. Our opponents missed the putt by a fraction! Final score 1 up to West Hove.
