Club Mixed Foursomes Championship & Wotton Trophy
Good luck to all our players competing in these events tomorrow Sunday 30 August. Please note that pairs may not share a ball. When it is your turn to play either you or your partner must mark their ball and you must substitute your own ball for your shot.
As you are already aware, the women will hit off the first tee and then subsequently from all odd-numbered holes. I have confirmed with the BGC Captain that all players (men & women) will be playing the Blue Course.
Foursomes Championships - Tuesday 1 & Thursday 3 September
Covid-19 restrictions mean that you cannot share any equipment including balls in Foursomes Play. Please note the Foursomes Conditions of Play have been updated to reflect that you must substitute and play with your own golf ball when it is your turn to play. Play for both rounds of the Foursomes Championships is on the Red Course.

The play-off deadlines for a number of events have now been revised to reflect the fact that the course has been closed.

Birthdays
One of the pleasures we miss by not being allowed to have presentations after golf, is acknowledging when our members are celebrating birthdays. We hope you all have still had a special (if limited) celebration and had a happy day in these strange times.
