ANZAC Day 2020.
Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 limitations, the usual ceremonial events held at BGC will not occur this year. A flag lowering ceremony will be held for the club by David Farthing on our behalf. There are other ways for members to show their support for those who gave of themselves for our country in times of war. One of these is to "show a light", where individuals or families hold a candle or a light at 6am on their own driveway (stay separated from your neighbours) and recite the Ode. Lest We Forget.

Course Status
- The 'long-awaited' 4th fairway extension has begun (see the photos) and as a result a temporary tee has been setup. The hole now plays from amongst the trees below the green, with a distance of 110m.
- The areas on the 'Closely mown Fairways' which have become bare due to the die-off of the grass are to be treated as GUR.
- Please read my coverage of the Crow issues which have been occurring on the 5th fairway and green (see my "Breaking News" blog).
- The newly extended cart storage unit has nearly been completed. We are just waiting for the electrician to wire up the new section to provide lighting and charging power for carts.
- I've passed on to the Ground Staff the many complimentary comments I've received from players , regarding the fantastic state the course as currently being presented. I'm sure you all echo that appreciation.

Wednesday 15th April, Tom Mooney (26) again fired up the course with 45 points this time after losing 4 strokes following his 44 points the previous weekend, some very impressive figures, well done. In second, with 40 points was Glen Welsh (12). The field of 74 players shows how well the members are supporting the club at this time of isolation.

Friday 17th April. The "Nugget" is launched! Not even the stiff breeze on the day could detract from what was a very successful debut. The Nugget is now up and running, and will be a regular event on Fridays into the future. This provides our club now with two gender-neutral competitions each week (the Sunday Comp being the other event). Scoring was understandably tight, and count-backs were in high demand. Dennis Neale (22) with 21 points won the inaugural event in a count back from Alec Dietsch (12) and Russell Bourne (24). 60 players joined the field with 39 men and 21 ladies. The best placed ladies were Helen Chadwick and Mary O'Connor with 19 points each.
Saturday 18th April. The Warwick Armstrong Cup 2020. A fantastic field of 97 players ventured out onto the course in pairs to contest a popular event. With a score of 42 points, Andrew Tomkins (18) won the trophy and the day's event from Piero Dal Bianco (19) with 39 points. Congratulations to all players for showing such fine support for the club.
Sunday 19th April, The Sunday competition is becoming a regular event now, and this week the men took out both prizes. Adam Bell (49) scored 39 points to win the day from Harley Wendt (14) with a score of 36.
Sunday 19th April, the Final of the Arthur Brassey Knock out for single handicap Matchplay. A tight match fought out until the final hole with John Mulholland securing the prize 1 up from Jim Larkin. John congratulated his opponent and said he gave nothing away throughout. Congratulations John and well done to both.
