Course Update
- All the fairways and tee boxes have now been scarified and a fertiliser applied. Mowing is underway to 'stripe' the fairways to improve the visual impact. The staff will be attending to some heavy mowing requirements over the next 5 months, but will commence trimming the hedges over the next two weeks then make a start on the next path installation. The path from the 7th green to the 8th tee and fairway will be a large job, but will greatly assist the access to this area of the course.
- The next time you log into your club account to book a game, take a look at the 'Member Register' tab. Secured by the member login password are some extensive member details. Players can now access contact phone and email details as well as membership category. So the next time you wish to book into a team event for a trophy, you can now determine if your playing partner is eligible to win the event with you.
- Thank you to Chris Barry for sending in this photo of the river which developed across the 15th fairway as a result of the heavy storms which hit the Highlands last Friday.

Coming Events
- This coming Wednesday is another of our 4BBB events which, due to popular response, is not accompanied by a single Stableford in conjunction.
- Saturday 21st is the Legacy Day event. This is the major charity day for BGC and a strong turnout is requested. Legacy do an amazing job with very limited resources, and this year the Covid situation has had a severe impact on the organisation's ability to raise funds. Get out there and show your support. There are lots of competitions (check out the notice board) and a great deal of fun is to be had. There will be a ceremonial Flag Lowering at the club flagpole at 5pm.
- Sunday 22nd is the final of the Club Championships for the men. The Open event is played over 36 holes and will feature defending champion from 2019, John Mulholland playing Chris Boggs. The first 18 holes will tee off at 08:32. The 'C' Grade final will be contested between Dennis Neale and Don Barker and will tee off at 12:44. The 'B' Grade final will see the 2019 defending champion, Tony Rourke, play off against Philip Joshua at 12:58 followed by the final 18 holes in the Open final at 1:12pm. Good luck to everyone. Remember, if you wish to follow the groups and support the players, please observe correct Covid separation.
Monday 23rd is the Callaway Fitting day. Make your booking through the Pro shop. There may still be a couple of slots available.

- Next Wednesday we are holding an American Foursomes competition. Make sure to book in as a 4 please.
- Saturday 28th November is the annual St Andrew's day 4 Ball competition. This event has been in the calendar for two decades and the sponsors of the event would really appreciate some enthusiasm from the players. Please see the following notice.
The Annual St Andrew’s Day competition will be held on 28th November as a 4 ball aggregate stableford. The donated prizes will be awarded as a bottle of Scotch each for the winning team, and also a bottle for the best individual score. The competition is for members only, but a maximum of two guests may be invited, and at least one member of the winning team must come in to collect the prize on behalf of the team, so if you have a good score, please contact the club later in the afternoon, or leave contact details so you can be reached in order to come in. There will not be a formal presentation, but the prizes can be collected on the day.
The event has been held for 20 years or so, and is now part of a campaign initiated by Nicola Sturgeon (alias Wee Kranky) to dispel the rumor that the Scots have long pockets and/or small sporrans. We (Ian McKenzie, Alan Turpie, Alan Lindsay, Ken Dobie, and Bob Young) await a similar response from the English for St George’s Day, the Irish for St Patrick’s Day, the Welsh for St David’s Day, the Kiwis for Waitangi Day, and, of course, the Australians for Australia Day.
There seems to have been a challenge issued here, is there a group who would like to rise to the occasion in the coming year???
Sunday 29th November is the Final for the J W Draper knockout competition. This final will feature the teams of Jim Phillips and Tony Fitzpatrick against Dennis Neale and Norm Dodds.
