The BADER CUP 2012 – Some more Regional Final Results! (North Downs & Piltdown) with comments

Friday, August 10th, 2012

We’ve just received more results from The Regional Finals for the prestigious BADER CUP, a mixed Greensome Stableford Competition. North Downs Golf Club (Surrey), which played their finals on the 7th August and Piltdown Golf Club (Sussex), which followed on the 8th August.

Many congratulations to the winners: Sheila Forster and Roger Forster (Prince’s), who won at North Downs with 40 points, and Sue Hope and John Hope (Hollingsbury Park), who won a closely contested battle at Piltdown with 41 points (B9-21)

The 2 winning couples will go on to play at the Grand Finals in Portugal, which will take place between the 4th – 8th November. They will fly there on Monarch Airlines and enjoy the wonderful facilities of the Tivoli Lagos Hotel while they’re not battling it out on the beautiful Lagos and Praia Courses at Onyria Palmares Beach & Golf Resort. Definitely worth winning for! Details of the other results will be published as we receive them so keep checking in to see who will be joining them there.

We have received the following endorsement of the Bader Cup and the Foundation from   who took part in, but sadly didn’t win!, the Piltdown Regional Final:

“Dear John,
I just wanted to write and say what a lovely day my partner and I had in the regional final at Piltdown on 8 August. Many thanks to your organiser for arranging a great day at a lovely course (tough and heathery!) followed by a delicious cold buffet. We didn’t exactly set the course alight but had a really nice time and played with a very pleasant couple from Mid Sussex Golf Club.
I didn’t see a Bader charity box at the club but definitely think that if you left a couple around at the regional finals you could make quite a bit of money from competitors (all of whom seemed in a very cheerful state of mind).
Thanks again for a great day.”

Our congratulations and thanks to all who took part and to all participating Golf Clubs. Each year The BADER CUP raises a considerable amount to help the Douglas Bader Foundation to continue its valuable work on behalf of amputees and other disabled and, without you, that wouldn’t be possible. We hope that those of you who didn’t win this time will come back and have another go next year.

The Douglas Bader Foundation is very grateful as always to our loyal and generous sponsors; Monarch Airlines, the Tivoli Lagos Hotel and the Onyria Palmares Beach & Golf Resort. Also to John Southwick, who founded the competition in 1987 and has been running it ever since. He, ably assisted by his partner, Pat, has worked tirelessly and The BADER CUP is now firmly established in the golfers’ calendar as Europe’s largest, national mixed golf tournament.

Introduction

The Douglas Bader Foundation is a charity organisation, formed in honour of Sir Douglas Bader in 1982 by family and friends, many of whom had flown side by side with Douglas during World War 2. Douglas was honoured in 1976 with a Knighthood for his contribution and work on behalf of the disabled. The mission of the foundation is to continue Douglas' work in conjunction with and on behalf of individuals with a disability. read more >

There’s already our popular Forum for information, support & chat. But sometimes you may feel in need of something extra.

You’re special to us you know! So we thought you’d like a more personal service for more specific advice or maybe to make a 1-2-1 contact with another amputee.

Just email Leggz at leggzhelpline@live.co.uk
