A Truly Historic Gathering at Rousdon

What an unforgettable and historic event it was as we welcomed the largest number of OHs ever back to the Rousdon Estate for the Lyme Regis leg of the OH Golf this summer!

A magical evening filled with laughter, memories, and connection, the spirit of the OH community was truly alive.

A big thank again to Stephen White (Shallow 1981–1985) and his wife Marlene for hosting such an incredible event — your generosity and warmth made this gathering one to remember. And a special thanks to our OHGS President, David Danskin, for his dedication and leadership.

This video offers just a glimpse of the extraordinary atmosphere that evening.
