Worksop vs Beeston Fields (Away)

Friday 3rd July 2026**

An excellent performance away from home saw the BFGC Seniors secure a 5–3 victory at Worksop Golf Club. The welcome was warm, the food superb, and the conditions… unusual. Preferred lies in July, on fairways baked straw‑coloured and rock‑hard, made for a curious morning of golf. But the team adapted brilliantly, showing real determination and fighting spirit — especially in the closing matches.

Match 1 – Phil Harrison & Mike Gilbert W 4&3

Phil Harrison and Mike Gilbert led the team out and delivered the perfect start with a confident 4&3 win over the Worksop pairing. Phil’s steady play and Mike’s reliable ball‑striking ensured Beeston took an early lead, settling the team and setting the tone for the day.

Match 2 – Drew Armstrong &  Malcolm Leivers A/S

In Match 2, Drew Armstrong &  Malcolm Leivers battled throughout and earned a valuable half point. The match was tight from the first tee to the last, with neither side able to pull clear. A solid result that kept Beeston in front at 1½–½.

Match 3 –Andy Lowe & Julian Ennis L 5&4

Andy Lowe & Julian Ennis  faced a strong Worksop pairing and slipped to a 5&4 defeat. The home side handled the firm greens and tricky lies particularly well, and despite determined efforts from Dave and Malcolm, Worksop levelled the overall score.

Match 4 – John Swan & Tim Hawkins A/S

John Swan & Tim Hawkins produced another battling performance, finishing all square in Match 4. Their consistency over the closing holes secured a crucial half point, but with the next match going Worksop’s way, Beeston soon found themselves behind overall.

Match 5 – Marcus Beale & Bob Jones L 5&3

In Match 5, Marcus Beale & Bob Jones were defeated 5&3, giving Worksop a 3–2 lead after the first five matches. The home pair made full use of their local knowledge on the firm, fast greens, and despite some good play from Tony and Ray, the gap widened.

At this point, Beeston Fields trailed 3–2, and the pressure shifted firmly onto the final three pairings.

Match 6 – Dave Bull & Pete Bull W 1 UP

With the team needing a spark, Dave Bull and Pete Bull delivered a superb 1 UP win. Their match was tight throughout, but the Bulls showed real grit over the closing stretch, edging ahead on the final holes and dragging Beeston level at 3–3.

Match 7 – Dave Bishell & Ade Firth W 2&1

Next up, Dave Bishell and Ade Firth produced a composed and confident 2&1 victory. Ade used his shots cleverly, and Dave’s consistency kept the pressure on Worksop. Their win pushed Beeston into the lead for the first time since Match 1.

Match 8 – Bill Hurrell & Ray Stevenson W 3&2

Finally, Bill Hurrell and Ray Stevenson sealed the overall victory with a strong 3&2 win. Bill’s accuracy and Ray’s short‑game touch proved decisive, completing a superb late surge from the Seniors and securing the fifth and final point.

Final Score: Beeston Fields 5 – 3 Worksop

A tremendous away performance, built on determination, resilience and a superb response from the final three pairings. When the going gets tough, the tough get going — and today the BFGC Seniors proved exactly that.

Thanks to all who played and represented the club with pride and fighting spirit.
