DECEASED (to us)
 

The most successful individual player in BT history, perennial student Darragh returned in 2010 for a last hurrah before taking a break to study for his doctorate in New York. He actually achieved his very own Beve PhD in 2008 with the first shot when he Pulled his Drive into the rough. Darragh will take part in surely his most memorable matches to date when he finally goes up against nemesi s Leatherface O’Shea in the dog-collar classics. The loser of those battles will be led from the course by the victor. Defeat in both matches results in a party at Max Mosley’s house for the beaten player (in every sense of the word). Darragh is the ultimate Beve fiend – both on the course and in the bar, where his banter with staff is the stuff of legend. Bloody Mary anyone?   

 
     
Beve Trophy Rating:     
He has toit body, you can tell by his toit pants    

The first shot

Dr Hare had the honour of hitting the first shot in Beve history in 2008. The white line shows where he put it. Peter Alliss has had a look and placed an arrow where it should have gone. An ignominious start for the competition.

 

This one at Glasgow Gailes was much better.

 

 


 

My Beve Profile

Name

Darragh Hare aka Silverback

 

Favourite Beve Moment

Lifting the Beve Trophy as part of the first ever winning team; a momentous occasion in the history of world sport.

 

Worst Beve Moment

The agony of watching McGill’s putt for the trophy on 18 at Darley in 2008 being deflected by a rock thrown at it by Captain Rush.

 

Your Best Shot in the Beve

An 8-iron from a hanging lie to six feet on the 16th at Dullatur Antonine in the BT2K9 morning greensomes. This shot put to bed the valiant but ultimately insufficient challenge by Bilton and Clark.

 

Best Shot by an opponent

A few stand out. Mo’s approach to the 5th at Darley in the 2008 greensomes; his 6-iron on the par-3 6th on Lochgreen in the afternoon; his drive to twelve feet on the par-4 13th later in the same round; and a whole load of putts by Bobert around the turn on Carrickstone in the afternoon at Dullatur in 2009. In all honesty though, the shots that have harmed us and helped my opponents most have been my duffs... and of course Seasick Steve’s lamentable putting on Carrickstone.

 

Toughest Beve Opponent

Rob Bilton. Started with two double-bogeys in the greensomes in 2009 and played the last sixteen in level par – pretty difficult to compete with that. It was especially impressive given that he carried his clubs throughout in an unfeasibly small bag.

 

Favourite Beve Story

Either Kev forgetting to change back into his golf shoes for the afternoon round in 2009 or Andy and Ryan making Scott W play from a rabbit hole on Lochgreen in 2008. Oh, and Ryan’s Jules Verne-esque travel to the 2008 event.

 

Sum up the Beve in one word

Thirsty.
