Easter Sunday, yesterday, the Jubilee Cup was held at our course. The strong westerly wind pushed the "feels like" temperature to minus 1 at 9:00am. So challenging conditions for the players. The Jubilee Cup was donated by former Captain and President, J M Oxley, to celebrate the 60th year of BGC's foundation on the 18th of March 1901. This event is a Golf NSW Vardon competition. The results are below. Well done Chris Boggs winning the Nett competition. |
"Shoot Your Age" Summer 2022
“The Summer 2022 edition of the BGC Shoot Your Age Competition wrapped up at the end of March 2023. Fourteen BGC Members took part in the Summer 2022 Competition and in spite of the continuing poor weather and difficult course conditions for much of the time, some outstanding results were achieved.
John Mellen “won” the competition, shooting his age or lower a total of 5 times over the 6 months, with a best score of 77, six shots under his age - a fantastic result. Runner up was Harry Caust who beat his age twice with a best score of 2 under, and third was Les Brooker who shot his age once during the competition. A number of others went close during the competition. Piero Dal Bianco won the best nett score with a 63.
This small informal competition has generated quite a bit of friendly rivalry amongst the older members and is continuing again through the Winter period. Anyone who wants to join this small but competitive group for the Winter 2023 Shoot Your Age Competition can contact Alec Dietsch whose details are on the Members Directory. The Winter Competition has no entry fee or prizes but BGC provides a sleeve of balls for anyone who achieves the feat of shooting their age, off the stick, in competition and on the Blue course.
The Winter 2023 Competition started on 1 April and already Clark Gibbons and John Mellen have achieved the feat of shooting their age, so an exciting competition is expected.”
