Chiltern Breakfast League

2011 League Results

The Winners of Division A were Chesfield Downs, with the runners up Chartridge Park - although the second place was in doubt until the last match of the season. For Division B, it was a close run thing between Richings Park and Wycombe Heights, with Richings Park just winning by 1.5 points.

The League has introduced a new feature this season - the winners and runners up in the two divisions then contested a semi-final, with home advantage going to the winners of the divisions. We thought that this would probably mean that the divisional winners would then go through to the final, but Wycombe played superbly at Chefield Downs to square the match, with the result decided on countback for the winning scores. This meant that Wycombe came out on top and caused the committee to have to buy another trophy for Chesfield Downs! Richings Park won through with less drama in the other semi-final against Chartridge Park, meaning that they hosted the Final.

Another very close match ensued, with the result in doubt until the final putts on the final green. Richings eventually won by 3.5 points to 2.5 points. Exciting stuff! They were presented with the League Trophy at the Challenge Cup dinner, by Garry Morris, the Chairman of the Breakfast League. Well done to all concerned in the Final.

2011 Challenge Cup

The Challenge Cup this year was hosted by Wycombe Heights. Our thanks to Garry Morris and the guys from Wycombe for hosting a thoroughly enjoyable day. The weather for late October was superb and the views from the course magnificent. Even so, some players found the bunkers and even some nasty lies. Thanks to Paul Rowledge from Richings for letting me use this picture.
