Minjee Lee has got off to a great start in the AIG Women's Open @ Muirfield GC in Scotland. She's -3, three off the pace. Hannah Green is Even after the first round and Steph Kyriacou is -1. Go Girls!! It would be wonderful if 2 Aussies could win in Scotland! I can't believe I'm saying that, being a Scot!
We are very sad to announce that The VWGA Tournament, due to be held at Bowral GC on 12th & 13th September, has been CANCELLED.
We are hoping to hold this great tournament in 2024. The booking sheet will now be open for club events. A big THANK YOU to ELLEN GOODWIN for all her hard work in trying to get this event up and running.

FROM THE WOMEN'S PRESIDENT
I am sure we were all saddened to learn of the resignation of the Assistant Manager, Tim Davis, following his ongoing illness.
Tim was always so approachable and supportive in the planning for our special events. We will miss his smiling presence in the clubhouse, and wish him a speedy and strong recovery.
Sue Flaxman
BGC Women’s President
I think we all agree with Sue's sentiments - Tim will be missed by us all.
Due to the fact that we have been playing very little golf, I have been busying myself with some statistics - I know, pretty sad really. However, it certainly has been an interesting excercise which I hope you find equally as interesting.... and sobering!!
