Mount Osmond Golf Club

Throwback Thursday: before comment sections, Mount Osmond had Colonel Miles Beevor and a typewriter.

Colonel Miles Beevor was a chartered accountant, Honorary Secretary of the Mount Osmond Country Club from 1930 to 1934, and by all accounts, a very recognisable figure around the Club: monocle, distinctive meerschaum pipe and all.

He also appears to have had one more talent: gently roasting the membership in verse.

His poem, “Impressions”, later included in the Club’s Jubilee book Fairways on the Mount, is exactly the kind of Club history we love: affectionate, cheeky, slightly ruthless, and very clearly written by someone who knew every character on the course.

Nearly a century later, it still feels familiar. Different names, different outfits, fewer pipes perhaps… but the same great tradition of golfers giving each other absolutely no peace.

Swipe through to read the original poem in full - including some very affectionate early Mount Osmond sledging.

Throwback Thursday: Mrs H. Davis, setting the standard since the 1930s.

Almost 100 years ago, Mrs H. Davis stood over the ball at Mount Osmond looking less like someone “having a social hit” and more like someone about to give the course a very firm talking-to.

The hat.
The stance.
The follow-through.
The expression that says: yes, I saw exactly where that went.

Mrs Davis was Captain of the Mount Osmond Women Members from 1930 to 1933 — which means she was leading the way at the Club in an era when golf fashion had more layers, clubs had less forgiveness, and a good round still depended on the same old things: timing, nerve, and not letting the hill win.

President’s Day, 1987.

Bryce and Ellaine Rankine step up to the 162-metre par-three second at Mount Osmond during a foursomes event.

Bryce goes first. Three iron in hand. One clean swing.

The ball heads for the elevated green, disappears from sight… and up ahead, people start jumping around.

Naturally, Bryce assumes the obvious:
Must be close.

Then Ellaine steps up.

Same hole. Same group. Same green they still cannot properly see. She pulls out the 1½ wood, gives it a swing, and sends her ball on almost the exact same journey.

More jumping on the green.

Still, nobody quite believes what has just happened.

Then they walk up.

One ball in the hole.
Then another.

A husband and wife. Same day. Same hole. Within minutes of each other.

Bryce later gave the best possible review of the whole thing: Ellaine’s shot was “better than mine.”

Which is either beautiful sportsmanship… or a man who knew exactly what was required for a peaceful drive home.

Two holes-in-one. One scorecard. One very confused clubhouse.

Mount Osmond history, just as the doctor ordered.
