HAZARDS GOLFING SOCIETY Now let us talk for a moment about the Hazards Golling Society. In the small matter of two years this society has achieved something in the nature of a meteoric rise to fame. This state of affairs is due solely and entirely to the work of one man, Austin F. Carris. You may remember that his elder son, II.

Old correspondence shows that the Ladies' Curtis Cup Team had an informal 'Get Together' Match against a team representing The Hazards - clearly long before preparations became very professional, truly in the days of Amateur Sport. Little or nothing is known about the origins of the Match or of its history which appears to have been lost in the sands of time but, judging by the report of the Match in the Daily Telegraph dated 31st July, 1958, the Society did not exactly cover itself with glory

Dear Mr. Hunt,

I believe you to be the Captain of tne Hazards Golfing Society, and I want to put a proposition to you.

When our Curtis Cup Team last went to America, your Society provided an excellent days golf on one of the practise days just before they went. This was very good for the girls and was much appreciated. m I wonder whether you could do the same again.

The date would be Wednesday 30th July, and the course Royal Mid-Surrey which has given us the courtesy of their green for the Tues. and Wed. We should like to play foursomes all day, and each side to pay its own expenses. o let you

Questions frequently asked of our members are: "Who are the Hazards?" and "How did they come into being?". THE HAZARDS GOLFING SOCIETY was formed in March, 1936, by eleven enthusiasts headed by the late Austin Carris. The inaugural meeting was held at Moor Park in April of that year to which some forty golfers were invited whom the sponsors thought might fit happily into the Society. The first President was Austin Harris and Alfred Hawes, the first Captain. Austin also undertook the duties of Honorary Secretary. The guiding principles of the Society were then, as they are now: To arrange golf meetings with the primary object of drawing together amateur golfers in the hope that strong bonds of friendship would be formed. To promote the best interest of golf and to preserve the dignity and prestige of the game and of the Society. Membership is restricted to 125 Playing Members and is by invitation only. The privilege to extend such an invitation is vested in the Committee and is limited to those who have been suggested by not less than two Members of the Society. Furthermore, anyone so suggested should have attended one of the Society's meetings so that members of the Committee could have had an opportunity of making his acquaintance. The election of a Member is for one year only and the Committee may invite a Member to continue his membership for a further year. In order that as many golf clubs as possible may be represented membership from any one club is normally limited to six. Members are expected to support the social events, i.e. the Annual Dinner and the A.G.M. Luncheon; also a reasonable number of golfing fixtures. Failure to do so is taken into account by the Committee when issuing invitations for a further year's membership. Golf Meetings are held on weekdays at courses in the South-East and there is an Annual week-end meeting at a coastal resort. Playing for high stakes is frowned upon and Hazards, when sending acceptance cards for meetings (other than Guest Meetings), should not fix partnerships but should leave this to the Hon. Secretary who will endeavour to arrange games for Members with as great a variety of partners as possible. Matches are played during the year, notably against the Seniors and Bar Golfing Societies.

Dear Hazard,

And so, with our Annual Dinner now behind us, another season has come and gone and we are left only to reminisce about the Hazards' year of 1982. For me, a memorable year and one I am unlikely to forget and I do thank you all for the great support that you have given me.

There are several matters upon which I must comment but first I must bring you up to date with results:-

GUEST MEETING - SUNNINGDALE. THURSDAY, UTH OCTOBER

Thirty-nine members and nineteen guests attended and the Club looked after us in true Sunningdale tradition. The course absorbed heavy overnight rain and was in remarkably good condition and we had only a passing shower in the course of the day. The winners were:-

PISKSY TROPHY. Another splendid weekend with the Newquay Club living up to all we have come to exnect. I did wonder just what we had let ourselves in for as we drove across Bodmin Moor on the Friday evening in a gale and pouring rain. However, Saturday morning dawned fine and dry but, alas, we were not destined to win this year we lost by two matches to one to ths Mercian Monks in the first round (the deciding match being lost on the Home Hole) and so "won" a place in the consolation event, the Cornish Pasty. Here we did ourselves no harm at all, winning by three matches to nil against the Wessex Wac-Wacs, and in the semi-final on the Sunday morning (another dry day) we won by two matches to one against The Old Blundellians. Thus we were in the final but the occasion proved too much for us and we lost to the Arny Golf Association by 2\J\. A disappointing end but a splendid effort nevertheless I To those that accompanied me on the long trip to Cornwall, my thanks.

HYMN (Tune: Praise my Soul) ST. MARGARET PRAISE, my soul, the King of heaven; LOTHBURY, E.C.2. To His feet thy tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Who like me His praise should sing? Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise the everlasting King.

Praise Him for His grace and favour To our fathers in distress; Praise Him still the same for ever, Slow to chide, and swift to bless. MEMORIAL SERVICE Praise Him! Praise Him! Glorious in His faithfulness. 20th January, 1986 at 12 Noon

Father-like, He tends and spares us; Well our feeble frame He knows; In His hands He gently bears us, Rescues us from all our foes. Praise Him! Praise Him! Widely as His mercy flows.

Angels, help us to adore Him; ARTHUR HENRY ALEXANDER DIBBS, C.B.E. Ye behold Him face to face; (1918-1985) Sun and moon, bow down before Him; Dwellers all in time and space. Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise with us the God of grace.

HAZARDS GOLFING SOCIETY

enu Questions frequently asked of our members are: "Who are the Hazards ?" and "How did they come into being?". THE HAZARDS GOLFING SOCIETY was formed in March, Parma Ham & Melon 1936, by eleven enthusiasts headed by the late Austin Carris. The inaugural meeting was held at Moor Park in April of that year to which some forty golfers were invited whom the sponsors thought might fit happily into the Society. Roast Duck Chefs Style The first President was Austin Carris and Alfred Hawes, the first Captain. Austin also undertook the duties of Honorary Duchesse Potatoes Secretary. French Beans The guiding principles of the Society were then, as they are now: To arrange Golf Meetings with the primary object of Buttered Broccoli drawing together amateur golfers in the hope that strong Sweet Corn bonds of friendship would be formed. To promote the best interest of golf and to preserve the dignity and prestige of the game and of the Society. Membership is restricted to 125 Playing Members and is by Lemon Meringue invitation only. The privilege to extend such an invitation is vested in the Committee and is limited to those who have been suggested by not less than two Members of the Society. Furthermore, anyone so suggested should have attended one Selection of Cheeses of the Society's meetings so that members of the Committee could have had an opportunity of making his acquaintance. The election of a Member is for one year only and the Committee may invite a Member to continue his membership for a Coffee further year. In order that as many golf clubs as possible may be represented membership from any one club is normally limited to six. Members are expected to support the social events, i.e. the Annual Dinner and the A.G.M. Luncheon; also a reasonable number ^Joaits of golfing fixtures. Failure to do so is taken into account by the Committee when issuing invitations for a further year's membership. THE QUEEN Golf Meetings are held on weekdays at courses in the South-East and there is sin Annual week-end meeting at a coastal Proposed by ...... THE CAPTAIN resort. Playing for high stakes is frowned upon and Hazards, when sending acceptance cards for meetings (other than Guest Meetings), should not fix partnerships but should leave this to THE SOCIETY the Hon. Secretary who will endeavour to arrange games for Members with as great a variety of partners as possible. Proposed by THE CAPTAIN Matches are played during the year, notably against Seniors Response by THE PRESIDENT and Bar Golfing Societies.

HAZARDS WIN CONSOLATION EVENT AT PISKEY TROPHY

Dear John,

I have to write to you with my match report following the Piskey Trophy at Newquay this weekend. As always, the host Club looked after their guests splendidly and I have written to the Captain expressing our thanks.

As to the Competition itself, you may have heard the good news that we won the Cornish Pasty silverware. John Nicholson intends to hand it to you at the Berkshire meeting, which unfortunately I cannot attend. It is for the Captain to decide, but I wonder if it could grace his table at the annual dinner in November: if he agrees, I will collect it afterwards and see that it is returned to the Club.

1 had my usual problems in getting together a iiorthwhile side but all was well in the end. I paired David Nation with Michael Bryant, leaving John Nicholson and Roger Connor to play as our second pair and Tim Clutterbuck and i . •r.. • , in, I played the 'anchor' role. gj 1 In the first round of the Piskey we lost a close match against the Left Handed 1 >' FftSttn • n;pe{t Golfing Society - I savctose and, it wag thg^begauge JJarig PSlt^Stgfi lost the opening match/and this left our fate in the hands of John and Roger • »i 4 III I ->, euoouragingly, were 2 up with 3 to play.

FROM T New English E Golf Union events C ENGLISH OPEN MID AMATEUR STROKE PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

IN the Editorial of the Christmas Edition, the Secretary, made mention of this new event, which should produce an excellent stage on which some of our more mature stars of the amateur scene can perform. Disregard the cryptic comments emanating from certain quarters - "I wonder if I can find my clubs"; "Is Phyllosan on the banned drugs list" or "Are guide dogs allowed", for the potential field is exciting to say the least. In creating the event, the English Golf Union has recognised the importance of maintaining a competitive platform for players who may not have the time or the inclination to play in the majors. "On the tee, Mr. Michael Bonallack, Mr. Geoffrey Marks, Dr. David Marsh. On the tee, Mr. Rodney Foster, Mr. John Davies, Mr. ." Sorry Mr. McEvoy, we are unable to accept your entry as you do not meet the age criteria, but next year you will be accepted. This is not wishful thinking. There is a distinct probability that the field will have players of such quality, and in abundance. The inaugural Championship will take place at on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the 19th, 20th, and 21 st August. Entry forms can be obtained from the EGU office from 1 st March.

THE ENGLISH BOYS' OPEN AMATEUR STROKE PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

The English Golf Union, Moor Park Golf Club Ltd and the Hazards Golfing Society announce as follows:-

1. "The English Golf Union will organise and hold annually, beginning in 1988, a Stroke Play Championship over 72 holes for Boys under the age of 18. 2. Moor Park Golf Club Ltd has offered and the English Golf Union has gratefully accepted the CARRIS TROPHY to be awarded to, and held for one year by, the Winner of the Championship. 3. The Championship will be entitled "The English Boys' Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship for the Carris Trophy". 4. The Hazards Golfing Society has offered and the English Golf Union has gratefully accepted the Hazards Salver to be awarded each year to the Player Under the age of 16 returning the lowest score in the Championship. 5. The first championship will be held during the week beginning 18th July 1988. In subsequent years it is intended to hold it in different parts of the Country, hopefully returning to Moor Parkin 1989. 6. Detailed Conditions of Play and Qualifications will be published in due course".

NB (1) The Carris Trophy was instituted in 1935 at Moor Park by the late Austin F. Carris. It was extended to 72 holes in 1974 since when it has been regarded as the unofficial English Boys' Stroke Play Championship. (2) The Hazards Golfing Society which was founded in 1936 by the late Austin Carris, presented the Hazards Salver for boys under 16 playing in the Carris Trophy Competition. In addition there will be a salver for the boy recording the lowest total for the eight rounds of the Peter McEvoy Trophy and English Boys' Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship. This trophy has been presented by the English Golf Union and will be known as the Malcolm Reid Salver.

03492 AUSTIN CARRIS—PIONEER AND WORKER. By GEOFFREY COUSINS (Golf Correspondent of The Star) Of many a man has it been remarked—"He is a born organiser." But no man is mote entitled to thai description than Austin F. Carris. who this week celebrates the Silver Jubilee of the Carris Tropin* competition for boy golfers at Moor Park, and this year his diamond jubilee as a pioneer of sporting and social activities. If "Austin" had done nothing more for British Sport than organise the tournament which bears his name he would have merited the plaudits of posterity. But the Carris Trophy idea, although it has provided six Boy Champions. D. Ball. M. F. Bonnalack. A. E. Sheppcrson. the late J. Pritchett. J. Clover and R. Braddon and Seven Walker Cup Internationals. R. J. White, J. D. A. Langlcy. I<. G. Thom. A. Perowne. I. Caldwell. G. B. Wolstenholme and A. E. Shepperson and many other fine players with early experience of competition golf, is only part of the Carris Story. All his life he has been starting things, and, perhaps what is more important, getting things done. Over a wide range-of activities, not only in gc!f but in Rugby Football. Cricket. Table Tennis. Billiards, and many charitable objects, he has a record of which any sporting patron could be proud and which, indeed. I feel no other sporting patron could surpass. Did I suggest he was a born organiser? I am quite sure he began organising in his cradle, gaining the co-operation of his nurse by a few well-chosen gurgles, and that later he was the moving spirit of innovation at his prep school. But the earliest evidence we have of such activities was that 60 years ago. at the age of 15, he "organised" a few junior ping-pong tournaments. And the sequel to that effort canie 20 years later, when "ping-pong" had become discredited and neglected. Austin Carris, realising that it must become more than a parlour game to survive, suggested changing the name and making it a nation*' sport. With the assistance of his wife he helped irj. the reorganisation from "ping-pong" to Table Tennis, drew up rules, interviewed sports goods manufacturers, and had many another hand in the launching of what was virtual!)' a new game destined to take the world by storm. He became first President of the Table Tennis Association and of the All-England Table Tennis Club, and not only organised but also pushed the game active:} by touring the country and giving playing exhibitions Now, as a Life Vice-President of the English Tabic Tenr-is Association, Mr. Carris can view tlie worldwide prosperity of the game with peculiar satisfaction. By this time, in the early i*'20's. Mr. Carris was becoming interested in many sports, influenced doubt bv the prowess of his sons. H E. and B. D., boili of whom played golf, rugger and cricket, each in turn becoming a double blue at Cambridge. Austin helped to found both Finchley and Hcnd«>n Rugby Football Clubs, being first Pics dent of the former and later President of the latter. He was mainly insitu mental" in saving two fine estates in Finchlcy from the builders by suggesting, and enlisting public support for.* the formation of Fmchley Golf Club, of wh'f.n he is a Life Member. He is also a L-i'o Member of Hendo Golf Club, where in 192S'he helped to raise £<8.000 for the purchase of the freehold (an astute move for whic.i present members of Hendon have recently haci reason to be grateful). By now the man who had started his career as a shorthand-typist and spent some years as a SJKHIS journalist and sub-editor, had become a company directory but his increasing business responsibilities made no difference to his spare-time activities in sport. • The success of his sons at golf—B. D., now livipg in South Africa, was a scratch player—turned his thoughts to the problem of helping young golfers, and how difficult a task he had undertaken may be gathered from the fact that, apart from the Boys' Open Championship thcro was no open event for boy golfers in the country.. >And when Austin Carris in 1935 issued a modest poster to clubs in Middlesex. Surrey, Herts. Kent, and Essex, announcing a Boys' Oper: Tournament at Moor Park, he was subjected to criticism, almost to abuse, for encouraging boys "to play the game. But he carried on with the idea, and on May 3rd, 1935, there was held an 18 holes scratch competition for the Carris Trophy. There were 29 entries and the winner was R. L'pex. of Purley Downs and Hendon. Also in the field was a golfing prodigy. John Langley, only 17 years of age but a scratch golfer, who the following August won the Boys' Championship, and a year later was runner-up for the English Championship and plavec: for Great Britain in the Walker Cup match. Langley was only one of many fine golfers who had their baptism of open competition,, in the Car;i> Trophy tournament, which from that small beginning with 29 competitors playing IS holes |ias! grown to a major 36 holes event, attracting something like 150 entrants, and flanked by such other helpful promotions a- the official L.G.U. Girls v. Boys' match and a contest between the Carris Boys and a team of professionals fee by Dai Rees. I have not sufficient space to deal adequately with the rest of Austin Carris's activities—and after all this is a golf programme—but 1 must mention that he helped to form the Professional Billiard Players Association o: which he was the Hon. Organising Secretary; that for his work in connection with crickct he is a Vicc-President of the Club Cricket Conference; that he organised, at the suggestion of Sir David Robertson, a benefit event fo; the original Darby .md Joan Club in Streatham, which made possible the spread of that wonderful movement a!: over the country; and that his other charitable efforts on behalf of the Red Cross, the National Institute for the Blind, the Union Jack Club, and various hospitals, arc so numerous that one just wonders how Austin Cam- found time to run a Sussex hotel, as he did after his retirement from business. Did I write "retirement"?" A man like Austin Carris never retires. Even these last few months although extremely ill he has been working hard both for the Hazards Golfing Society and his beloved golfinc bovs. And as we experience yet another "Carris Week" at Moor Park we greet and regard with affection the man who has had the vision to start things and the energy to carry them through.

HAZARDS v THE BAR - MATCH REPORT

I am delighted to report that the Hazards defeated the Bar by 6% - 3Vi matches at New Zealand last Saturday.

The weather, as customary, was excellent and the formidable Hazard team was strengthened by the unexpected appearance of John Slack who had decided to participate despite having failed to make the selection list! As fate would have it, the Bar were one short owing to a late withdrawal so John was loaned to them for the relatively modest transfer fee of one bottle of claret. Unfortunately, he was the best performer for the Bar and his continuing membership of the Hazards will obviously have to be considered by our Committee at the end of the year!

The course was in good shape, lunch was most convivial and the Secretary was his usual welcoming self. Chris Gems took a team photo and we consumed an adequate quantity of Pimms during the course of the day. In other words, everything was as normal!

HAZARDS v THE BAR @ New Zealand Golf Club on Saturday 2nd June 2005

In a desperate effort to avoid another defeat this year, the Bar resorted to the dubious manoeuvre of turning up with half a team knowing full well that they would be considerably strengthened by the loan of Hazard players. Forgetting that he was negotiating with some of the finest legal brains in the country, Allan Ramsay innocently agreed to such an arrangement and the match ended in a 4-4 draw with 3 of the Bar's points being obtained with Hazard help!

The highlight of the day was the presentation by Chris Gems of a set of 'legal' cufflinks, to celebrate his fifteenth consecutive appearance in the match, and it was agreed that the teams would play for the Gems Links in future years. Having recovered from his earlier negotiating setback, Allan Ramsay immediately quoted Ryder Cup rules as a precedent (you have to win to gain the trophy) and the Links were presented to the Hazards as winners in 2004.

A great time was had by all and we wonder what dastardly tactics will be employed by the Bar next year!

CLitMprfi^ Moeilit HAZARDS v THE BAR

@ New Zealand Golf Club on Saturday 1st July 2006

The Bar resorted to previously untried tactics this year by turning up with a full side which included several members of the home club.

Despite this manoeuvre, the Hazards managed to come out on top by 5V» to 414 in a tightly fought match and thus retain the Gems 'Links'.

The match was played in extremely hot conditions which meant that most of the afternoon games were reduced to 15 holes and the team was back in the Clubhouse in time to watch the England penalty 'shoot out'. It was generally agreed that England's per- formance on the day fell far short of that shown by the Hazard golf- ers. Hazards at the Piskev 1999

I am pleased to report that the Society's team made some progress this year in what the locals would call slightly windy conditions.

Our team of John Woods, Dudley Stratford, David Nation, with new boys Gordon Murray Fisher and John Gill, and your correspondent faced the Bogeymen (ex Navy Team) on a bright but blustery Saturday morning. Unfortunately we could not find a win and were out of the main competition.

In the afternoon, after a heavy but well timed rain-storm at lunch, we took on the Leatherjackets in the Pastie. After some trials and a gale force finish, the Woods/Gill and Donnelly/Fisher partnerships succeeded, allowing us through to the Sunday semis and avoiding the dreaded "Mugs", a foursome medal.

Sadly, our Saturday form went missing against the March Hares (Goodwood) on Sunday morning. Donnelly/Fisher got back from 4 down to win 3/2 but Stratford/Nation could not quite recover from a similar deficit to lose at 18. Again the weather showed its serious side with a few more showers but we were generally dryer than wetter.

The course was in top condition as was the catering. We received a warm welcome from Gordon Binney, Newquay Secretary and met many old friends in various teams. While we may have questioned our place in a scratch competition, we maintained a reasonable standard and are still worthy of a place. Certainly I think we would be missed. I wrote to 15 lower handicap members to see what additional firepower could be mustered and am grateful to them all for their responses. Our team is probably best as a mixture of talents and would have to comprise all our best players on form to win. This is unlikely in view of the other commitments to golf they report.

I would like to thank the team members who made the long journey to take part and for their help and advice to a concerned captain. I certainly hope that the Society will continue to enter a team.

Mo fete. HAZARDS v THE BAR

@ New Zealand Golf Club on 20 June 2007

The match against the Bar this year was played in unusually wet conditions with continuous light rain or showers for most of the day.

Despite this, the Hazards got off to a good start by winning the morning foursomes by 4 matches to 1, with the Bar's single point being contributed by the New Zealand secretary who was 'guesting' with them for the day.

In a desperate move to redress the position, the Bar resorted to sabotage during the mid-term interval by arranging for the Hazards Manager to sit on a suspect dining room chair which collapsed during lunch depositing him in an untidy heap on the floor.

Undaunted by his injuries the Manager rallied the Hazards who, obviously spurred on by this dastardly deed, managed a clean sweep in the afternoon by winning 5-0.

Despite a considerable lack of sunshine and Pymms, a good day was had by all.

QutC \60VO-H< Lreta^l fewJ^ Well known Hazards greet Piskey result with acclaim.

I am also writing to report the outcome of our annual visit west. Our team of David Nation, John Woods, Dudley Stratford, John Gill, David Home and yours truly battled against the Army on Saturday morning coming second 2 down, 1 half. In the afternoon, we met the Cornish Saints whose name belies their nature - we lost 2-1 after a very close finish. So Sunday morning saw us consigned to the infamous Mugs competition, usually foursome medal but fortunately stableford this year. Two teams scored reasonably but I am afraid my run of luck ended and we did not have to stay for the evening presentation. However John Woods did and reported a very good win for the Bogeymen, the ex Navy team. I think everyone enjoyed the weekend and I am grateful for their support, especially our former President who played spendidly and was a solid partner.

These are a picture or two of the Piskey weekend just developed to prove we actually were there. You will probably just recognise the usual suspects including the recent MC.

Tartu Vkot»<; 94 t PISKEY 2001 Further tales of our intrepid team's assault on the bastion of the Piskey Trophy are reported. r» IE There were changes this year in several departments. The old Finelw of "fortress NewquB^G guard of John Woods and Dudley Stratford, the regimental John Gill and the quartermaster were joined by two new recruits in Alan Bailey and Peter Warnock. Our camp deployed from the Riviera barracks to the Bristol arsenal with its commanding position overlooking the port and a minute closer to the course.

Friday was set aside for maneuvers at Trevose but we could not take advantage of Peter's invitation to play on his home course. Despite fine weather during lunch, the forecast rain arrived at the wrong moment and a slow retreat to Newquay was the order of the day. It was equally horizontal there and practice was cancelled.

To keep the troops fresh, a few frames of snooker were organized at the Bristol. Later, mixed up with a meeting of retired civil servants who had worked abroad, we felt distinctly young and fit. After dinner we did not.

The morning broke dismal and the impending return of the storm looked likely. Solid breakfasts and the papers kept our heads down so we missed the arrival of blue skies albeit on a strong and somewhat less usual southerly wind. Recharged we set the teams. More changes as senior professional JW and the writer spearheaded the attack, JG and AB formed the center while the rear fell to DS and PW.

The morning match against the Masochists started well as their tactic is to go down until it hurts, then fight back to an improbable victory. This worked for two of their teams and we left main theatre of operations. The afternoon brought us against the Cornish Captains who were not ready to give more than one half point I I away despite our most valiant efforts. As the weather held fair on the back of the gale, we were lucky to be playing almost in shirt sleeves.

While Sunday morning should have seen us consigned to the rigors of the Mugs competition, the rain had returned with a vengence. After a reduction to 7 holes, and some shilly-shallying in the ranks, mutiny held sway and sadly golf was cancelled before lunch. For the first time there were joint winners as the final had to be cancelled.

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend despite the absence of two expected rounds. I am grateful for their support, and can recommend any member feeling strong to tick the box on Lesley's next team sheet.

Further tales from the West...

The Hazards were represented once again in this high powered competion with our team showing two changes. A welcome return for Tim Clutterbuck and a welcome to Max Hunt, adding fire power and experience. Both qualities were tested to the full in sweltering conditions, most unusual at this time of year in those parts, more used to ! spectactular gales and high flying spray / low flying rain.

After a practice round on Friday, Saturday morning saw a match against old foes in the Cornish Rugby Captains, and in the afternoon the Cornish Saints. Unfortu- nately both were lost and Sunday morning, still fine, led to the team stableford.

We stayed at the Headland Hotel to experience the views of the course and check the pins positions without leaving the bedroom. A little faded glory but a tremendous posi- tion, good dining and a reasonable snooker table.

Many thanks to those who made the long journey and were re- warded with a very enjoyable weekend. We remain most wel- come at Newquay although we struggle against low handicap teams in a scratch competition. I recommend the trip to those Hazards who would like the challenge over a tight and surprising course with superb views.

Gerry Freeman (Captain 1979 a Life Honorary Member)

Pictured, we think, in 2002 at Woking Golf Club on John Woods' Captain's Day, aged 92. He went on to make his Century before passing away.

Prior to the establishment of the Hazards' Porthcawl Weekend sometime in the early '70s, the Society enjoyed a Weekend at the Royal Cinque Ports Club, Deal. On the last occasion, as Gerry was leaving the Hotel, he was struck by a passing vehicle and very seriously injured. Against all the odds, he recovered - he was a 'tough nut' - but it was felt that the Deal Meeting was blighted and the suggestion was made that the Society should try and arrange a similar Weekend at Royal Porthcawl - if, of course, they would have them!

Gerald has now heard from the Secretary of Royal Porthcawl that his Committee has agreed to a Hazards meeting on Saturday and Sunday, 28th and 29th May.

Thank you so much for taking the trouble to put some of your memories of the Hazards on paper - they will be extremely useful and, I am sure, very much welcomed by Richard Norris when he takes over as Archivist in a couple of years' time.

I can just picture you rushing from firing mortars and throwing grenades in basic training to the Hazards Summer Ball - what a contrast! It is now rather easy to forget that the 2nd World War had ended only 5 years before 1950, so your training in National Service still had an element of reality to it!

I will certainly pass your letter on to Richard in due course and I am sure the Committee would wish me to thank you sincerely for taking the time to write.

With all best wishes

Colin Simpson Secretary.

—y- Hazards v Chartered Accountants

Tuesday 14th August 2012

@ New Zealand Golf Club

The Hazards and Chartered Accountants met tor their third annual tixture at New Zealand Golf Club on Tuesday 14th August with the score standing at 1-1 after previous encounters.

Despite a threatening weather forecast, the match was played in warm, sunny conditions with the Accountants finally running out as winners by 6 matches to 4.

The morning was marked by a splendid hole-in-one by Alan Drayton (for connoisseurs of the game, a wedge at thelOth hole) who kindly provided liberal 'post-prandial' refreshments - possibly the cause of the anticipated afternoon revival by the Hazards not materialising!

The fixture is played for the Gems Cufflinks which were ceremoniously presented to the Accountants Captain by Allan Ramsay over a cup of tea. Carris Trophy, July 2012, at Royal Cinque Ports, Deal.

The Hazards Salver for Boys aged 16 or under was won by Marco Penge, aged 14, from Worthing Golf Club with a score of 292 (Four over Par). He came a worthy seventh overall.

The picture shows the Winner with the Captain of Hazards, Martin Wakeley. Re: FW: Chris Sneath

Inaugural Past Captains' 'Get together' Lunch.

19 March, 2014.

The outgoing Captain, Richard Norris, suggested that there might be some benefit if Past Captains spent time together informally to discuss the state of the Society and talk about any ideas Members may be harbouring. Richard's words were that he was not aware of any particular discomfort in the Society over anything but experience told him that the good times do not stay on a high plateau unless reviewed and, if appropriate, refreshed. There was no agenda but it was an occasion much appreciated and enjoyed by 19 Past Captains of the Society: the photograph shows 18 smiling faces the missing picture being that of Richard himself who was behind the camera taking the photograph!

The meeting was hosted by David Spence (President 2003/7) at The Caledonian Club in Belgravia - an admirable venue. The occasion was very much in keeping with one of the Society's original Objects " in the hope that strong bonds of friendship will be formed amongst its Members...."

It was, indeed, a gathering of Good Friends

The Society has a longstanding relationship with the Youths/Boys Championship. The original Carris Trophy was donated by one of our Founders - Austin Carris. When the event was taken over by the English Golf Union, the Trophy became obsolete but was passed on the South East Juniors for annual competition.

Below is an extract from one of our 2013 Captain's Newsletters which explains the position in rather more detail.

The picture shows our incoming Captain for 2014, Mike Donnelly, presenting the new Rose Bowl to the 2013 Winner, Duncan Bateman, taken at the Society's Annual General Meeting at the R.A.F. Club on the 6th February, 2014.

You will all be aware that we have a Carris Trophy which is awarded each year for the Player of the Year. This apparently valuable silver trophy was originally donated by the Society to the South East Juniors many years ago, however it was handed back as surplus to requirements in 2008 and has been our ' Victor Ludorum' ever since. It has attracted much comment, some of it unfavourable as being too cumbersome and time-consuming to maintain. The Committee has therefore decided to 'sell at best' and reinvest the proceeds in a more manageable trophy; to this end, a more suitable trophy, such as a silver rose bowl will be purchased and suitably suitably engraved with winners, including those from the past. Captain's Newsletter June 2014

1 As we approach the Porthcawl weekend, it's time to let you know what's been happening since a «£•& now distant day in February when you kindly appointed me your Captain. Kindly because having been a member through some 27 Captains, I have perhaps not appreciated the combined generosity of members' spirit towards their leader who magically has very little to do save to bask in their reflected goodwill and to ensure that this wonderful Society can continue for everyone's enjoyment. It is also clear that this would be impossible without the enormous work and attention to detail of our Secretary Colin for whom nothing is too much trouble (it appears) even as he sees another debutante take the reins. It is a great pleasure to thank him and all members for their welcome and support.

Our first event on the 6th March was the match against the XL Club at the Berkshires organised by John Bowman who sadly was unable to lead the team on the day. Despite our best efforts, my first command returned a rugby defeat 9 - 3 ( note to self - quite a lot of Hazards were playing but not all on our side...). However it was a very enjoyable day in good company.

On a cooler and somewhat dismal day on the 25th March, we started the year's meetings as usual at Hankley which was in pretty good shape after such a wet winter. Even more, they had made attractive improvements to the fourth in front of the clubhouse although unfortunately it was not quite in play. After a gesture of some generosity by the Club, our Secretary wisely spent the proceeds on additional refreshments!

Well done to Nigel Cotterill and his guest James Purvis who prevailed in the morning and Ian Fry and his guest James Bell who led the afternoon in slightly drier conditions and a good score on count back in the afternoon.

The second match was against the Circuit Judges at New Zealand and while hoping my team would prosecute firmly, the bench defended well and the jury were unable to reach a verdict in favour of either party. There will be retrial next year!

Into April, we returned to Rye after last year's sojourn at Littlestone. The evening at the Hope Anchor did not disappoint those staying there. We were blessed with dry and improving weather and a warm welcome at the Club. As Colin reports, the greens were as ever fast and true and the service was excellent, but timings still left us close to the 7pm deadline to vacate the car park. Well done evergreen Dudley Stratford and guest Nick Budge in the morning foursomes and the equally evergreen Bruce Bevan-Jones in winning the Charles Hawkins Cup by several points in the afternoon.

Most recently, we enjoyed a wonderful day at Walton with our President John in generous mood on the 11th tee am. Many found the courses set up for the US Open qualifier testing but clearly not Michael O'Brien-Kenney or Arthur Quinn in winning the President's Salver and Putter respectively nor Malcolm Thomas and David Pope in taking the pm foursomes.

Thanks go to David Payne and Richard Willacy under the administrative guidance of MO'BK for representing the Society in the Alba Trophy. Although not winning, a good lunch in Hazards' tradition led to a good score in the afternoon round.

I should also record thanks to our officers and committee members in attendance at the 1st committee meeting in May, and again particularly to Colin for dealing with all the organisation and paperwork to make such meetings a pleasure. The general report is that the Society is in fine health both in funds and membership, though we need to look carefully to find new members who will meet our standards of good fair golf and bonhomie.

On a sadder note, the death has been announced of our former secretary Leslie Lampkin (1996- 2006). Unfortunately I am unable to attend Leslie's funeral on 20th June and I thank those who will be attending and are able to represent the Society. He was a very efficient and kind man who kept us all in good order in the days of paper.

For those coming to an often windy Porthcawl, I look forward to seeing you on Friday and for those not, I hope I may see you at Woking when I can offer liquid thanks for the honour of being able to write this newsletter.

Best wishes

One of the pleasurable duties of the Captain is to present the t Hazards Salver to the best Under 16 score at the Carris > Trophy. This year, it was held at its alma mater Moor» Park and I had a great day being driven around the course by their Captain watching the golf over the High course. The main event ended in a playoff won at the first extra hole. Our winner was a 14 year old from Malaysia Bryan Teoh Wiyang who was 7* overall and a name to watch. As many will know the clubhouse and its interior would normally require a National trust membership to enter and our salver would normally be on display as one of its treasures. I had not seen it before and it is truly magnificent, both in quality and the list of names of past holders : Justin Rose, Sandy Lyle are just two.

Dear fellow Hazards

It's hard to believe that there is only one golf event left with the match against the Elders at ( Hayling on Wednesday and that the second half of our season has flown by.

Since I last wrote we have recorded some extreme weather conditions, mainly for the good •e's Hill I'm very glad to report. At Porthcawl in June we could hardly believe the unusual light zephyrs and the high temperatures, only matched by the warmth of our welcome by ridge) David and Maureta at their "little party" on the Friday evening. They are so generous "roham Hu : in their hospitality as is our President in the Cobham) provision of bubbly refreshment. I was also able to thank them for the immense m> work done on the Scrapbook and make a ntworthi small presentation to Maureta on behalf of the Society.

Suncream and hats were needed over the Saturday's 36 hole practice match where the President's team were on hotter form and the local population were seen standing in large numbers up to their knees in the bay. That evening we dined at the Club and were very pleased to host the

,t Captain and John Sanders, the finder and giver of the Sunday match trophy, a silver tankard engraved "Hazards "nBSIBIBp Golfing Society" but completely unrelated to us! Later that night, we were able to sit outside past midnight in shirtsleeves to keep our team guru Charles Noble company. Next day, his tactics seemed to have failed and we again faced the tropics and the home team who managed to hold on to the old mug. While such weather cannot be guaranteed, the fun and friendship can be and there are few other societies who have am and pm reserved tee times on a Saturday at Porthcawl. I recommend all members to try this at least once and then hope to catch the Captain's eye to return.

We were in action again on the 2nd July at Woking for the Senior's match and despite our best efforts we came - second again I hear you say.

And a few days later we were back at Woking and this time from the sublime to the pluvius.

I congratulate all those who manfully played through torrential am rain just to get a free drink. Fortunately the weather relented a little in the afternoon though thunder rolled around and wise choices were made. With the catering a little off par, it was perhaps not the most sparkling event but well done to Peter S Robinson in winning the Captain's Salver, Rob White-Cooper the Captain's Quaich and David Spence and Bill McCall the Pat Hunt Goblets pm.

One of the pleasurable duties of the Captain is to present the Hazards Salver to the best Under 16 score at the Carris Trophy. This year, it was held at its alma mater Moore Park and I had a great day being driven around the course by their Captain watching the golf over the High course.

Our next event was a welcome return to New Zealand in early August when we were blessed with another fine day with good greens both in and out of the clubhouse, their catering being of a very high standard. Well done to Mike Roden and Paul Masters in winning our own Austin Carris Trophies.

Allan Ramsay kindly ran our match against the Chartered Accountants again at New Zealand a few days later. Glad to report that our figures added up to the same as theirs. David Downes took charge at St George's Hill where the club had difficulty in raising a full team and we played as ten a side. At last a winning result 3-2 - well done chaps!

In between, the second Suffolk tour took place courtesy of Steven Chappell. Twelve members with some substitutes played Aldeburgh in much better condition, Thorpeness (36) and Woodbridge despite our best efforts to go to Purdis Heath, unfortunately closed. Highlights as last year were the two refreshment parties laid on by Hugh Smith and Chris Sneath or perhaps I should say by their very kind wives descended on by thirsty and hungry Hazards. We are so lucky to have these opportunities to play other courses and enjoy such hospitality and it's another one for your diary if it is run again.

Ladies Day at Worplesdon was well attended this year and rewarded with more good weather. It's a beautiful setting and well worth taking a golfing spouse/partner/low handicap or lady bandit.

Captain's Newsletter July 2015

Dear Fellow Hazard,

Tempus fugit! It doesn't seem that long ago that you took the brave decision at the AGM in February to elect me Captain of our illustrious society for 2015. Already nearly half the year has gone. So I thought I should tell you what's happened so far.

The Hazards' season commenced at the Berkshire with a match against the XL Club, ably managed by Nick Brown. Our performance in the afternoon was an improvement on the morning, thereby according the team the lunch honours, but it was insufficient to make up the pre-prandial deficit.

Our first meeting, as ever, was at the spacious Hankley Common in late March. The weather was pleasantly milder and drier than usual at this time of year. Partnered by Hugh Smith, your Captain shared in the morning honours; the afternoon's were taken by Duncan Bateman and Andy Pollock.

Mick Donnelly deftly managed the match against the Circuit Judges at the incomparable New Zealand, on 18th April. The Hazards won, I feel through comparative youth and vigour. So much for the bench!

Shortly thereafter, we travelled to Rye for our second meeting. The charm and diplomacy of our Secretary rescued the day, or night, at the Hope Anchor after your Captain inadvertently upset the Basil Fawlty running it, simply by asking if he could book in early. Rye provided its customary outstanding golfing experience; which some felt was not matched by the food. As a Member, all I can say is that Rye caters in the main for the type of chap who likes to preserve his school days late into adult life; a cheap and cheerful lunch is one of Rye's charming eccentricities. The Wauds (Charles and his father and guest, Jeremy) won the foursomes and John Harridge won the Charles Hawkins Cup.

President's Day at the wonderful, if windy, Walton Heath was a great success. The greens were fast and true with the same pin positions as for the US Open qualifying, which had been held on the previous Monday. John Woods not only served some most welcome refreshments, but also presented the President's Salver to Ian Fry and the President's Putter to Peter Renshaw. On the New course the afternoon foursomes winners were Nigel Cotterill and John Gill.

Richard Norris was match manager against the Stock Exchange GS at my home course, St George's Hill, on 1st June. Armed with the team dictum: "Q. What is a stockbroker? A. Someone who invests your money 'til it's all gone" the Hazards soon brought the City's finest to their knees, begging for mercy.

The Royal Porthcawl weekend was, as always, a highlight of the year. Most of us played all three days in blustery, but essentially dry conditions. Thanks are owed to David and Maureta Home who threw a most enjoyable cocktail party at their home for both teams on Friday, to the President for the champagne, to the Captain and members of RPGC for allowing us to play and to all the staff who looked after us so well. We were delighted to be joined at Saturday dinner by Huw Evans, Captain, and John Sanders,

discoverer of the Hazards Tankard, for which we play the Club on the Sunday, when sadly we again came second.

I intend to book the Atlantic again for B & B next year, but would suggest to my successor that Friday dinner might be better held at the braseria el Prado in Laleston. Some Hazards have already given me their views on such matters, but please let me or others on the Committee know what you think, if you wish.

John Gill led the Hazards to a resounding victory over the Seniors at Woking, on a very warm 1st July. (I was in Greece for my son's wedding which was, on that particular day, a lot colder and wetter!) The scale of the Hazards' success is demonstrated by the Seniors failure to win a single match on their home ground!

The Captain's Day at Woking again saw Gill in winning form, taking both the Captain's Quaich and the Veteran's Cup with an imperious 37 points. Jeremy Cary won the main prize, namely the Captain's Salver; the Pat Hunt Goblets being won by Nigel Cotterill and David Downes in the afternoon foursomes. I had a great time and thank all the Hazards who supported my Day including Peter Croft, Mark Fenwick and Peter MH Robinson, who joined us for lunch.

I am having a most enjoyable year as your Captain, mainly because our indefatigable Secretary, Colin Simpson, does all the hard work. My main task is to turn up as much as possible, which I have done, with one exception. I have also managed to remain married, despite joining my wife late on holiday in February, as I had expected the AGM to be in the first week, and because my son thankfully postponed the date of his wedding, which was originally due to occur on the Saturday of the Porthcawl weekend. More importantly, we are always on the look-out for new Hazards, so please bring along anyone you consider suitable as your guest to a meeting, to initiate the process.

Finally, may I wish you all the fun and camaraderie that is the hallmark of Hazards golf for the rest of the season and beyond.

Kind regards

I am contacting you with the attached material for possible use in the scrap book. These photos are of this year's teams in the annual Hazards v's The Elders match which has always been played at Hayling golf club. I have run this fixture since it's inauguration in 2000 together with Robin Elsdon Dew, who at that time had recently also become a member of the Elders. David will remember Robin who was a past captain of the Hazards in 1998. Sadly Robin died last year and his family have subsequently presented the Elsdon Dew salver and last week was thefirst tim e we played for the salver. To celebrate the occasion, his widow Mary came along to make the presentation to the winning team (sadly The Eldersll) which made it a very poignant occasion as Robin was greatly liked by us all and is sadly missed. She is pictured in one of the photos together with the captains of each society, myself and Richard Horton who has taken over the running of The Elders side.

Captain's Newsletter October 2015

Dear Fellow Hazard, ^^^^^^^

The season of "mists and mellow fruitfulness", or "preferred lies", is upon us, the Hazards' golfing year is over and it's time to tell you what happened, if you don't already know. All that remains in 2015 is the Annual Dinner at the Royal Air Force Club, Piccadilly on Friday 27th November. I very much hope to see you there and please feel free to bring a guest - perhaps, a membership candidate - to what will hopefully be an enjoyable and entertaining evening. Our guest speaker is my friend, Peter Wise from St. George's Hill; Peter is inter alia an accomplished playwright and author, who is working on a new book entitled "Should You Give Up Golf?" I feel I am not alone in asking myself this question from time to time!

Since my previous newsletter, it has been my pleasant duty to attend, on behalf of the Society, the Boys Championship hosted by England Golf at Little Aston in late July this year (during the monsoon season). There, I presented the Hazards Salver for the best Under 16 score at the Carris Trophy. It was shared by Jake Benson (England), Adalberto Montini (Italy) and Hugo Townsend (Sweden), who all finished on six-over par in a three-way tie. The Hazards sponsorship moneys of £500 will be shared equally between them, but all three have each now been sent a Hazards' glass memento. In future, it is to be hoped that England Goif will amend the rules to produce a single winner. Incidentally, previous winners of this prestigious competition include Justin Rose and Sandy Lyle; so who knows what greater honours may lie in store for this trio of winners. Another name to look out for is Bradley Moore, who won the Under 18 Trophy with an emphatic five shot lead.

As Hazards will be aware, we are extending our support for up-and-coming young golfers to the fairer sex. The Secretary has purchased, at the behest of the Committee, a suitable silver salver to be awarded for the winning score in the Girls Under 16s Championship, which will be engraved and made ready for its first presentation in 2017. It is similarly proposed that the Society will provide sponsorship moneys to the winner. This will further associate the Hazards and Austin Carris, our founder, with the future of golf amongst our most promising youngsters.

Our own Austin Carris trophies were won by James Purvis and his guest, James Bell, at New Zealand in early August with a magnificent 46 points. Everything about this day was excellent both on and off the course and this must surely be amongst our best and favourite venues. A week later we returned to NZGC for our match against the Chartered Accountants Golfing Society, ably managed by Martin Wakeley, who led us to a victory by 5.5 to 4.5.

The Suffolk tour from 17th to 19th August is fast becoming as much fun and as important to us as the Royal Porthcawl tour, earlier in the summer. The courses we played this year were Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and Woodbridge, all of which were in excellent nick, although unfortunately the second day was extremely wet. Huge thanks are owed to our tour manager, Stephen Chappell, and to Hugh Smith and Chris Sneath, as well as their wives who were charming hostesses at soirees held at their homes locally. We are fortunate indeed to enjoy such generous hospitality. Hugh has also secured a match against the Aldeburgh Club for next year, which is a great honour for the Society and a tribute to him personally, for which we are also most grateful.

We lost 1.5 - 2.5 to George's Hill on 29th August, in a somewhat poorly attended 8-a-side match. Three Hazardsayed for the home team. It may have suffered from being held on the late August Bank Holiday iirday when it seems that a number of people who might otherwise have played were unavaila;. Nevertheless, those who did play enjoyed a fine day with an 18 hole match in the morninpllowed by lunch and a further 9 holes on the Green course afterwards. Next year the fixture being moved to 24th September 2016, in the hope that "availability" will then be better on botides.

Ladies' Day at Worpsdon attracted a field of 20 this year and bright and sunny weather. Unfortunately, this w

Our final meeting of e year was held at the incomparable West Sussex. On a warm and sunny 30th September a smabut perfectly formed group of Hazards had a most enjoyable day. Winners of the Alfred HawesSpoons in the morning with 33 points were Stephen Moore and Hugh DuVivier. In the afteioon, this redoubtable pair scored 35 points but, with the same score, honours went to Clu members, Patrick Luard and David Downes, as Hazards' "rules" prevent anyone winning morethan one prize.

In early October, the Hazards again fielded a team of low handicappers in the 50th anniversary of the Piskey Trophy in Newquay's 125th anniversary year. Narrowly losing in the first round, the team of Michael Atkins, Alan Carpenter, Tim Cracklen, Stephen Moore, Andy Pollock and David Payne (Captain) won through to the final of the plate competition, called the Pastie, there to lose to Westcott. David writes: "All parties enjoyed the weekend with excellent weather, strong play by debutant Alan Carpenter delivering 2 points in his first year. Leatherjackets match on Sunday morning was a notable victory. Amusing anecdote was 9 Hazards playing in the Pastie final, 3 of the Westcott being Hazards (including Nigel Cotterill who holed the winning putt for the Westcott!)."

Our final match of the year was held at Hayling Island against the Elders on Trafalgar Day, 21st October, in torrential rain, but in great spirits. It was admirably managed as ever by Max Hunt. Those who played the day before had good weather and a fun overnight stay, attended by the majority of both teams. Guests of honour at lunch were Mary Elsdon-Dew and Jane Fenning, respectively the widow and daughter of Robin, co-founder with Max of this excellent fixture. Mary presented the winning Captain (we sadly lost 2.5 - 5.5) with a silver salver, donated by the family in Robin's memory, which will be played for annually hereafter.

It is my sad duty to record the death during the year of Michael Westcott-White, to whose family and friends we send our condolences. Unfortunately, Ian Trotter has resigned his membership owing to ill-health. We wish them a fond farewell.

Alan Carpenter, Stuart Fullager, Derek Pettet and Howard Lago have been admitted to membership during the year and I hope to see them and their proposers at the Annual Dinner on 27th November, so that we may all get to know our fellow members. Suitable candidates for membership of the Hazards are always welcome. The question of suitability is largely left to the proposer, but the Committee may have concerns about a candidate's golfing ability if he has a handicap greater than 15, particularly as we are a foursomes society with no fixed pairings. Candidates will ideally have, or have had, a single figure handicap. There may, of course, be

perfectly good reasons why an otherwise excellent candidate does not possess the requisite level of handicap from a recognised golf club, but if this is the case, you should contact the Secretary at the earliest possible stage to ensure a seamless process and to avoid any upset. Please bring along anyone you consider suitable to become a Hazard, as your guest to a Meeting, or to the Dinner.

As foreshadowed by Mick Donnelly at the last AGM, the Hazards' archive, namely the scrapbook maintained by David Home, has been digitised, with the help of Allan Ramsay. Mick is exploring setting up a website to enable members not only to view the archive, but also current information and to facilitate communications relating to our meetings and matches, on which he intends to report at the AGM in February 2016.

Finally, I wish to thank all the officers, committee members, match managers and organisers within the Hazards who have made my time as Captain so enjoyable and painless and, above all, Colin Simpson, our tireless and quietly efficient Secretary. Many thanks too to each and every one of you for your friendship and fellowship both on and off the course. The Hazards are a very special group of golfers to which I feel very proud and privileged to belong and it has been a great honour for me to lead you this year.

Kind regards and best wishes,

Alistair Defriez

This is becoming a habit! Since John Sanders presented the Tankard in 1999, the Society has won it only three times. Here the Captain, David Downes, presents the Trophy to the Club Captain, Bryan Jenkins, the Club having won the match by 5 games to 3. Our worthy winners were Alistair Defriez and Malcolm Thomas, Rob White-Cooper and Peter Dyson, and Nick Hayes and Mike Roden. Captain's Newsletter r^i July 2016 Wl&M

Dear Fellow Hazard,

This is my first opportunity to thank you all for electing me as your Captain for 2016. Already nearly half of my year has gone by, so I thought I should update you on what's happened so far.

The Hazards' season commenced at the Berkshire with a match against the XL Club on March 3rd, ably managed by Nick Brown. After a bright start the Hazards established a lead of 4-2 at half-time but lulled into a false sense of security, the Hazards over-lunched and were soundly trounced in the afternoon foursomes to lose the match 5-7. Despite this setback everyone had a most enjoyable day.

Our first meeting was at Hankley Common GC on March 22nd. The weather was sunny and warm with the course and catering up to their usual high standard. The morning foursomes was won by Stephen Chappell partnered with one of our new members, Howard Lago, who narrowly beat Mike Roden and last year's winner, Hugh Smith. The afternoon's honours were taken by Tim Cracklen and Richard Norris, chased home by Graham Sutton and his guest, Chris Wyatt.

Mick Donnelly judicially managed the match against the Circuit Judges at the New Zealand, on 16th April. The Hazards comfortably won the morning round 4-1, but overcome by the gravity of their crime and maybe a few too many Kummels, could only manage a half in the afternoon.

Our second meeting at Rye on April 19th provided its customary golfing test and unique lunching experience. Last year's victors, the Wauds (Charles and his father and guest, Jeremy) again won this year's morning foursomes, this time on a count back from Ian Fry and Nick Hayes. In the afternoon singles, Jeremy Smith won the Charles Hawkins Cup and Jeremy Waud had a hole in one at the 17th, which was celebrated by all in the usual manner.

President's Day at Walton Heath on May 26th was played this year before the US Open qualifier. Despite some aggravation over tee reservations, the day went well with the course in great condition, although the greens were not yet at full US Open speed, and the lunch at its normal high standard. John Woods generously provided most welcome refreshments during the morning round. He also presented the President's Salver to John Harridge, who narrowly beat last year's Captain, Alistair Defriez, and the President's Putter to Nick Brown. On the New course the afternoon foursomes winners were Patrick Luard and Duncan Bateman.

Michael O'Brien-Kenney delegated the playing in the ALBA trophy to David Payne (5) and new member Alan Carpenter (3) at Woking on June 4th. Their gross scores of 80 (am) and 83 (pm) left them in the middle of a strong field.

Richard Norris was non-playing manager for the drawn match against the Stock Exchange GS at St George's Hill on June 6th. The excellent lunch was followed by a mixed foursomes/fourball format where interestingly the Hazards showed their prowess in fourballs by winning 2-0, which was offset by the foursomes losing by a similar score. This year saw a new fixture at the Berkshire on a warm but cloudy June 24th. After much persuasion from Colin, we were allowed to play our normal format of a.m. singles and p.m. foursomes. Although the Friday date was not ideal with many counter attractions for Hazard regulars, the 16 attendees had a most enjoyable day. The am singles was won by Steve Wilkins on a count back from Mick Donnelly and the p.m. foursomes was won by your Captain helped in no small way by his excellent partner, Hugh du Vivier. We will be retaining the Berkshire in our fixture list for next year and have provisionally booked it for July 5th 2017. Let's hope that this date attracts our normal attendance and it becomes a regular venue for many years to come.

The Royal Porthcawl weekend was, as always, a highlight of the year. Many of us played all three days in blustery, but essentially dry and warm conditions. Thanks are owed to David and Maureta Home who threw a splendid cocktail party at their home for both teams on Friday evening, to the President for the champagne, to the Captain and members of RPGC for allowing us to play and to all the staff who looked after us so well. We were delighted to be joined at Saturday dinner by Bryan Jenkins , Captain of RPGC. I am pleased to report that on Saturday the Captain's team had a resounding win against the President's team who provided the forfeit of Port in the Society's Hoggett which was enjoyed by all. However I am sorry to report that the RPGC team had the better of us on Sunday morning so they retain the Hazards Tankard for yet another year. I've recently spoken to Hugh Smith who appears to be recovering well from his nasty turn on the Friday night and I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing him a speedy return to the golf course.

John Gill led the Hazards to another resounding victory over the Seniors GS at Woking on a wet June 29th. At lunch time the score was 3-3, but after lunch the Hazards prevailed 5-0 over the curtailed 12 afternoon holes, with one group still holed up in the bar due to the inclement weather.

I am already looking forward to enjoying a drink with you at my Captain's Day at New Zealand on Tuesday, August 2nd. I am also hoping to meet any non-playing Hazards who want to enjoy the splendid NZ lunch. In the morning singles, you'll be competing for the Captain's Salver, the Captain's Ouaich and the Veteran's Cup. I'll be joining you for the afternoon's foursomes competition to defend the Pat Hunt Goblets.

On a more serious note, the Hazards GS is now 80 years old and its successful longevity is due to a regular inflow of like-minded competitive golfers, who also appreciate the fellowship that playing golf brings. I would encourage you all to look out for potential Hazards' members and bring them along to a meeting as your guest which will initiate the selection process.

I am having a most enjoyable year as your Captain and my gratitude goes to our diligent Secretary Colin Simpson who does all the hard work and keeps me on the straight and narrow.

Best regards

(Our thanks to Stephen Chappell for his organisation)

Stephen. I have compiled this for you as a response for David Home to help you relax after your excellent leadership and organisation, to ensure another successful tour.

This the inaugural match against Aldeburgh, ended all square 31/2 to 31/2. Aldeburgh were excellent hosts providing a really good dinner attended by 6 wives of Aldeburgh team players, plus Liz Sneath and Sandra Smith.

Thorpeness began the match, Captain versus Treasurer. Again played in stifling heat. Richard Blanchflower managed to ace the par three tenth hole and helped us to celebrate by providing champagne at Dinner that evening. John Balls and Robin Anderton from Aldeburgh played with us to fulfill the numbers.

Chris and Liz Sneath entertained the Hazards at their house at The Meadows, Friston in the evening.

Wednesday a return to Woodbridge again in very hot weather and this time the Treasurers' team overturned their previous days deficit to win the match. The Captain kindly donated prizes to the winning side and a special hat prize to Bruce Bevan-Jones for the highest points win over the three days. A special shirt and champagne to Stephen for all his efforts to make the tour such a success.

It is hoped to continue the event next year and the match against Aldeburgh. Other highlights were best dressed golfer award to Jeremy Smith, who has not divulged his taylor!! Stephen, you may wish to add anything I may have missed and forward on. Hope this helped. Warm regards.

Dear All. Not good picture except for John Griston, due no doubt to the blisteringly hot day!! PISKEY TROPHY - Newquay Golf Club, October 1st and 2nd.

Our Team Manager, David Payne, assembled a strong Hazards Team (Andrew Pollock, Michael Atkins, Charles Waud, Alan Carpenter, Tim Cracklin and David himself) but, alas, success still eludes the Society: on a brighter note, this is always a happy event and this year was no exception. Thanks to everyone for making the long journey to Cornwall and especially to David for his leadership.

A quick note to report an excellent weekend was had by all in Newquay but alas the Blundellians in rnd 1 and Somerset over 35's in the Pastie prevailed, we were thus sadly seen pencil in hand in the Mugs on Sunday morning.

For the record:

1) Piskey Rnd 1 vs Blundellians 1-2

Payne & Waud - loss

Atkins & Pollock-win

Carpenter & Cracklen - loss

2) Pastie rnd 1 vs Somerset over 35's 0-3

Payne & Waud - loss

Atkins & Pollock - loss

Carpenter & Cracklen - loss

3) Muggs - mid-table.

Payne & Waud - 33 pts

Atkins & Pollock - 30 pts

Carpenter & Cracklen - 26 pts

Weather was rather breezy with a few heavy showers on Saturday but otherwise Newquay put on a decent show with generally lovely sunny weather - (Afraid we forgot to do a team photo David / Maureta).

The 2017 dates are Sat 7th and Sun 8th October.

Best regards

David.

im Captain's Newsletter October 2016

Dear Fellow Hazard,

The only item left in our 2016 diary is the Annual Dinner at the Royal Air Force Club, Piccadilly on Friday 18th November. I very much hope to see you there and please feel free to bring a guest - perhaps, a membership candidate - to what will be a relaxed introduction to the Society. Our guest speaker will be Tim Dickson whom you may know is the editor of the excellent magazine, Golf Quarterly.

The first event after my July newsletter was the annual match against the Chartered Accountants GS at New Zealand on July 20th. Our team was ably managed by Martin Wakeley, who again led us to a victory by 6 to 4.

Later that week, it was my pleasant duty on behalf of the Society to attend the Boys' Under 18 Championship hosted by England Golf at Hunstanton GC. I was there to present the Hazards Salver plus a £500 sponsorship for the best Under 16 score in the Carris Trophy. The winning young man was Michael Gilbert from Chelmsford GC. As the previous winners of our prestigious Salver have included Justin Rose and Sandy Lyle, and more recently Eddie Pepperell, it'll be interesting to track Michael's progress to see if he reaches the same dizzy heights in the professional ranks.

As many Hazards will be aware, next year for the first time the Society's Captain will be making a similar presentation to the winner at the English Girls Championship for Under 16s. I think we can all be proud of this further involvement by the Hazards GS with the future development of our most promising youngsters, as originally initiated by our founder, Austin Carris.

My Captain's Day held at New Zealand on 2nd August was well attended and despite the rain, I was pleased to talk to you over a Pimms at their halfway stop. Everything about my day went exceedingly well both on and off the course and NZGC is an excellent venue for future Captain's Days, particularly when their Halfway House is built and future captains can keep dry when serving the drinks.

Jeremy Cary won the Captain's Salver with Derek Pettet, who lifted the Veteran's Cup, in second place. Bruce Bevan-Jones won the Captain's Quaich and I was happy to see Will Seabrook featuring in the runner-up position. The Pat Hunt Goblets were secured by Jeremy Cary & Peter Robinson who were followed home by John Griston & Mick Donnelly.

The August Suffolk tour is fast becoming a permanent fixture in our calendar and is now as well supported as our other three day event, the Royal Porthcawl weekend earlier in the summer. We again played the challenging Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and Woodbridge courses, all of which were in fine condition. Huge thanks are owed to our tour manager, Stephen Chappell, and to Chris & Liz Sneath for entertaining us so royally at their home. Honours were shared in the inaugural match against the Aldeburgh GC members, who looked after us splendidly at both lunchtime and the dinner, which was also attended by many of their wives.

The three round match between the Captain's and Treasurer's teams resulted in closely fought win for Duncan Bateman and his merry band of followers.

Ladies' Day at Worplesdon on 31st August attracted a field of 22 players. The winners of the Alan Laird trophies were Peter Robinson & Nicky Morris ahead of defending champions, Mike & Jane Roden, who romped up the leaderboard to second place after an excellent afternoon round. As a number of pairs only felt able to play 18 holes, for a trial period beginning next year the Laird Trophies will now be played for in the morning round only with a separate afternoon 18 hole competition available for those who wish to play a second round.

On 24th September the Hazards triumphed against St. George's Hill, which was a most unusual match as both sides were managed by Alistair Defriez or El Supremo as he is now better known. Due to an unforeseen clash of dates, there were only three members of the StGH team who were not also HGS members. Nevertheless, everyone enjoyed a fine day with the 18 hole match in the morning being followed by a great lunch and a further 9 holes on the Green course afterwards. The Hazards won a tight match 2.5 - 1.5, with talk of Mick Donnelly being offered honorary membership of the Club. We're assured by El Supremo that with the planning now in place, the better availability of StGH members next September will ensure a more normal balance of participants.

Our final meeting of the year was held at West Sussex GC. Although the attendance was a tad disappointing, those present had a most enjoyable day. Winners of the Alfred Hawes Spoons in the morning were your Captain & his guest, Ian Palethorp, with Mick Donnelly & Hugh DuVivier a close second. In the afternoon, Alistair Defriez & Hugh Smith were run-away victors with Mike Roden & Bill Hedley best of the rest.

In early October, the Hazards again fielded a team of low handicappers for the Piskey Trophy at Newquay GC. Sadly our team lost in the first round of both the Trophy and the Pastie (plate) competitions and finished mid-table in the Mugs event. Despite their disappointment, a great time was had by all.

Unfortunately our initial match against Huntercombe GC had to be cancelled and our final match of the year was held at Hayling Island against the Elders on October 19th. This is now firmly established as a two day event with a full practice round with the opposition followed by a joint dinner at the hotel the day before the 18 hole match and lunch. It was admirably managed as ever by Max Hunt. The winner's silver salver, donated last year by Robin Elsdon-Dew's family in his memory, was won by the Elders for the second year running by 5.5 to 3.5.

Our only new member since the AGM, Nicholas Yeates from Rye GC will be attending the Annual Dinner on 27th November, so it's our opportunity to get to know him. I would encourage everyone to consider whether any of their golfing friends would enjoy the ethos of the Hazards and introduce suitable candidates for membership. The question of suitability is largely left to the proposer, but the Committee may have concerns about a candidate's golfing ability if he has a handicap much greater than 12, particularly as we are predominantly a foursomes society with no fixed pairings. Candidates will ideally have or have had a single figure handicap. There may, of course, be perfectly good reasons why an otherwise excellent candidate does not possess the requisite level of handicap. If this is the case, you should contact the Secretary at the earliest possible stage to ensure a seamless process and to avoid any upset.

Please bring along anyone you consider suitable to become a Hazard as your guest to this year's Dinner or to any open Meeting next year.

Little progress has been made on our computerisation project due to ill-health and limited skills but there are plans afoot to accelerate this initiative in 2017. The goal is to adopt a system which not only delivers the most effective way for members to view our digitised archive and current information but also facilitates communications relating to our meetings and matches. Any help by suitably qualified and motivated members will be greatly appreciated.

Finally, I'd like to thank all the officers, committee members, match managers and tour organisers, who give their time so selflessly on behalf of us all. A special mention is due to Colin Simpson, our hard working, efficient and conscientious Secretary.

As my year is almost over, I am reminded of the old adage that all good things must come to an end. It has been a great privilege for me to be your 2016 Captain and I'd like to thank you all for your fellowship and goodwill both on and off the course which has made it such a memorable and enjoyable experience.

With my very best wishes,

Berkhamsted 5832 or 4047 G.B.HARLOW, Brookwood (0486-7) 3287 or 2277. Hon. Secretary. CAPTAIN'S LETTER - MAY 2017

Dear Hazards,

Now the season is underway it seemed a good opportunity to update you all on what has been happening so far.

The initial news is rather sad in that I have to report that a very good friend of the Hazards and central member of Porthcawl GC - Gareth Griffiths - died on 19th March after a short illness and he will be sorely missed by all those who knew him. Shortly after that, on 21 st March, we also heard of the passing of Nick Kerridge, who had been a long-standing Hazard, and who died while away in South Africa. Our condolences go to their families and friends.

Returning to the golf, I am very happy to report that our first two matches produced excellent victories for the Society. The match against the XL Club at The Berkshire was brilliantly managed by Nick Brown who masterminded a 9-3 win in a match that we had not won for a few years. The weather was excellent - as was the lunch - and, after a morning lead of 4-2, the Society pushed on to win the afternoon 5-1 to prove that we lunched rather more satisfactorily than the opposition. Highlights included a wonderful display from Downes & Smith who only succumbed to a pair on the 17th who got it round in a gross 75! While Mike Roden was 'on fire' all day and he, plus Donnelly, Atkins, Brown. Lago and the Captain remained undefeated all day.

The match against the Circuit Judges at New Zealand was huge fun under sunny skies, a very moderate breeze and a course in excellent condition. Managed expertly by Mick Donnelly the society were 3-2 up at lunch (with Defriez and Hayes having a remarkable round) and, after another excellent lunch and lively conversation with some very bright opposition, the afternoon was won 4-1, giving the Society a healthy victory. It is clear that the Hazards are beginning to combine a good lunch with good afternoon golf at last.

We have had two meetings so far this season, both of which were played in the most beautiful weather. The greens at Hankley Common were a little bumpy but otherwise it was a great pleasure to play there, and some 32 members and guests attended. Off the white tees in the morning David Spence and his guest Jeremy Mcllroy (Captain at Hankley) won with a very creditable 35 points, and the afternoon foursomes off the yellow tees was won with 39 points by Hugh Du Vivier and John Griston. Our new Secretary did a marvelous job on his first outing in charge, despite being laid low with a number of lurgies, that would normally have rendered him confined to barracks. My sincere thanks to him for that great effort. The Rye meeting included a round the day before for some 15 of us followed by a dinner in the Hope Anchor in Rye for 18. An early start on the day of the meeting, attended by some 33 members and guests, was played under cold but sunny skies despite a forecast that suggested otherwise. Scoring was difficult in the morning wind but 4 pairs managed 31 points, with Tim Cracklen and Steve Wilkins winning on a countback on the last 6. The Club looked after us well and it was opportune that we could say a final goodbye to Ian Rayson (the Steward) who retired on the same day after 18 tears at the Club. The afternoon round was played in less wind and in warmer conditions and two players produce winning scores of 36 points, The countback winner was Steve Corrin (guest of Nick Hayes) which was a great effort, but I am delighted to say that the winner of the Charles Hawkins Cup was Peter Dyson. Peter was so pleased with his round that he confessed that it was the first time that he had got more than 30 points in a Hazards meeting for 10 years! "Almost' retirement seems to suit him.

And so, onto the next meeting, which is the President's Day at Walton Heath on the 25th May. The course will be in excellent condition as we are playing just prior to the US Open Qualifier there on the following Monday and it is a venue to which we all look forward.

The Society website development is taking shape and more will be reported on this in due time.

Keep playing good golf and I look forward to meeting up with many of you at the various meetings during the year. For some more fun.

AND SO THE SOCIETY MOVES WITH THE TMES WITH THE LAUNCH OF OUR NEW WEBSITE

HAZARDS GOLFING SOCIETY

Fellow Hazards.

WEBSITE LAUNCH The 8th June 2017 will mark an important date in the history of the Society when the website will be launched User instructions and help with navigating the system will be issued by those who understand these sort of things and the purpose of this introduction is to recognise the efforts that have gone into bringing this important tool to all of us. It will make entering meetings and applying for matches, as well as keeping up to date with the Society, so much easier and quicker

Our thanks go to the working party of David Downes. Mick Donnelly S Stephen Chappell (with input from Duncan Bateman on occasions) who worked with the website designer Charles Waud to make the website a reality One feature that I am sure you will enjoy is the Hazards Archive material, which is available to view on the website. Our thanks go to Maureta and David Home for pulling all the old information and news items into shape and in chronological order, and to Mick Donnelly (ably encouraged by Richard Norris and Allan Ramsay) for driving the digitization of the material and making it available to us all electronically From here onwards news items and photographs can be added as fun at events and on the links and in the bars are recorded for posterity

I should point out that I will be introduced to the system at its launch, so one important note is — please do not contact me if you have any questions or problems with the website as I am unlikely to be able to answer them? Follow the guidance and ask the experts!

HAZARDS GOLFING SOCIETY

CAPTAIN'S LETTER - JULY 2017 A lot has happened since my last letter in May with updates on the activities of the HGS. With the advent of the Hazards Website these letters may well become a thing of the past as more and more information is added after each event. However, being a traditionalist, I will continue to send a little more detail as the events pass. The Alba Trophy was well contested by David Payne & Alan Carpenter at Woking in June and, although finishing in the top half, had the second best gross score in the afternoon round, being a credit to them and the Society. Apparently they had a lot of fun! Richard Norris then masterminded a narrow win over the Stock Exchange at St George's Hill after a very good lunch; only the last pair got wet as the rain fell heavily on the last two holes - the only significant rain that has fallen on the Hazards so far this year. The match against the Senior Golfers' Society at Woking in June was played on a lovely day (with light precipitation on the closing holes in the afternoon) and John Gill had assembled a formidable side to try to hold onto the trophy. He was not to be denied as, after a 3-3 score at lunch, the Hazards came out strongly in the afternoon to secure a 7.5-4.5 with three halves and two wins post lunch. Another indication of how well the members are handling the lunchtime excesses. Then in July the match against the Chartered Accountants GS at New Zealand, consisted of five pairs of foursomes and assembled by Martin Wakeley, with John Gill this time in charge of the CAGS. Another wondrous day at NZ with a lot of old acquaintances renewed and a lot of fun had by all. With John Griston in great form (despite 'nil points' all day, but very generous with the wine and the kummel!) there was a lot of laughter and, after a 2 point advantage at lunch the Hazards managed to halve the afternoon to roll out winners by 6-4. All credit to those who played, but then it is never a chore to enjoy the delights of NZ. So, apart from one match the HGS remain unbeaten in matches so far this year.

We have had four meetings since the last newsletter. President's Day at Walton Heath was very well attended and our President looked after us very well on the 11th tee and kept us all on the straight and narrow, and presented the Salver to John Traynor who had a magnificent 38 points - even he was surprised! The afternoon foursomes looked to have been won with 39 points by Richard Blanchflower & Nigel Cotterill only for a late return from Mike Roden & Rob Bailey to pip them at the post with 40 points. This was Rob Bailey's first meeting as a member - what a way to start. Another day of wall-to-wall sunshine for the meeting Then 16 intrepid Hazards ventured into Wales for the annual trip to Royal Porthcawl, with the Welsh end masterminded by David Home. I always think it will be wet in Wales but we had the most fantastic weather for the three days. The casual golf on the Friday was followed by a

marvellous reception at David & Maureta Home's where we were joined by a number of the RPGC members. Fortified by dinner at the Fairways Hotel the draw was made for the annual match between the Captain's and the President's teams. Very unfortunately the president could not join us as he was on crutches following a knee injury, and so David Spence headed the team as a past-President. I am reluctant to report that the President's team rather duffed up the Captain's team despite two good wins from the clubs of Alistair Defriez — he still had to pay for the port in the evening! An excellent dinner in the clubhouse was enlivened by the RPGC Captain (David Richards) who regaled us with stories of his Lions Tour to South Africa and other rugby tales. Then came the Sunday match against the Club for the John Sanders Tankard - this is the one match we have lost so far this year as we went down 2.5-5.5. Nevertheless, the weather was terrific and much fun was had at the lunch afterwards before we all dispersed. While we were there the HGS was asked to contribute to a second bench in memory of Gareth Griffiths who was a friend of the Hazards and who died suddenly earlier in the year A significant donation was made by those present and allowed the Club to purchase the bench and we have received a very nice letter of thanks for our contribution. Future tours will be able to enjoy the GG corner and sit with pride on the bench.

Then into July and a great day at the Berkshire for the Austin Carris Memorial Trophies. The morning winner was David Pope with 36 points on the Blue course with Simon Moffatt (on his first meeting as a member) the runner up with 33 points. The Memorial Trophies were won by Malcolm Thomas & Rob Bailey (again!) with 34 points on the Red course, with David Pope (again) & Duncan Bateman runners up with 31 points. Everyone who was there commented on what a good day it had been and how well we were looked after. And so we are more or less up-to-date and I am looking forward to Captain's Day at New Zealand as I write this. But spare a thought for our President, who has had a rough ride of late. Following a few weeks on crutches for his bad knee Chris suffered an emergency appendicitis and has been laid low for a further 3 to 4 weeks. He is up and about again now and we wish him a speedy return to full fitness and to gracing the golf courses again soon. Photographs of much of the action are available to be viewed on the website - some flattering and some less so! Looking forward to seeing you all soon. Stephen Moore CAPTAIN 2017
