Just a reminder that a new Sunday Stableford competition will commence from Sunday 1 September. There is both Women's and Men's competitions. You can just enter online. This now means that there are competitions available every day except Mondays - just another benefit of being a member at BGC.

Challenge Bowl Final 2019
I had the privilege of acting as referee for the final of this event on Monday. The conditions were challenging - sun, wind, cold and even a bit of hail. Thanks also to Chris Hill and Uschi Eriksson for braving the elements to watch the match.
Carol Warner (19) and Wilma Lung (41) played some really great golf in the conditions. The results were very close all the way through with Carol finally winning 2up on the 17th. Congratulations to both of you. The formal trophy presentation will be made at the AGM on Thursday 10 October.
