A Very Merry Christmas, from the Captain
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the members and the staff of Bowral Golf Club and their families and friends a very merry Christmas and hopefully the start of a much more enjoyable New Year. I'd like to thank all the members who have assisted me throughout this very turbulent year. I have compiled some photos into a montage that covers some of the different aspects we have experienced over the past 12 months. I hope to see you all back on the course for our first trophy competition next January 23rd. Until then, stay safe, keep your head down and enjoy your golf.
