A Big Weekend for BGC...

20/2/2023

 
Picture
Yesterday, Sunday, POP IN held their charity golf day at our club.  At last we were able to get this event run and the course and weather was near perfect.  Seventy-Two players enjoyed the Ambrose format and overall close to $30,000 was raised for this community based Womens charity. Well done to the organisers who made this day such a success and on behalf of POP IN a big thanks to players and sponsors.  Below are some photos of the winners and the presentation.

Local Rule Updated... 

To assist all golfers on our course I have update the local rule relating to "abnormal course conditions".  The aim of the update is to make it clearer as to what is covered by "abnormal course conditions".  The R&A Rule 16 covers the "Relief from Abnormal course Conditions (Including Immovable Obstructions), Dangerous Animal Condition, Embedded Ball"; this is worth your while to read this rule as it will assist you in taking free relief in these types of conditions on the course.  Strangely enough this rule is of great benefit to golfers and not penal. See below for the main content of the local rule.... note... local rules are on the website; the club notice board and outside the Pro-Shop on the notice board.  Well worth a read to clear up any confusion.

White Horse Cup... a flying start for Bowral Golf Club

6/2/2023

 
Well done to the Bowral men and women who competed in the first round of the White Horse Cup at our course yesterday.  Team Bowral 1 won 5.5 to 1.5 over Nowra GC; while Team Bowral 2 won 4 and 3 over Wollongong.  A great start to the WHC campaign for 2023.  Bowral 1 is on top on the leader board while Bowral 2 is second by 0.5 of a point. See the tables below and some action from the day.

We hosted 84 players in 12 teams yesterday... a big thanks to Matt's team and our volunteers for the excellent course condition.  And thanks to Paul, Dennis and Craig for running the all day BBQ.  It was great to see the club so busy.  Bowral put on it's best summers day for us.

As with every week in the WHC, next Sunday is a "must win" round.  Team 1 play second placed Sussex Inlet at Nowra and Team 2 play The Vale at Wollongong.  Gook luck!!
