20190428_112203

2019 completed our tenth year as the (second!) best Tour on the Planet. As dangerous climate change started to become a reality, the boys responded in the only way we could – with HOT GOLF.

The Gentlemen: Handicaps: Felix (+20?), Leroy (+20?), Cravo (+18), Basil (+10)

The first ever Bash’n’Dash was played over 18 holes at Barnbougle in the Winter of 2012. The Committee initially considered 18 holes + a number of novelty holes (opposite handed, blindfolded, kick and a throw etc) but ruled that out as too whimsical.
