In Memoriam.
Being the Captain of Bowral Golf Club brings with it a great sense of pride, passion and purpose. In this last week we lost a past Club Captain, and it is suitable that I give recognition to his passing.
Peter Kenneth Douglas was born on the 7th of February 1935 and had reached the age of 85 when he died on the 24th June 2020. Peter was BGC Club Captain from 1986 to 1988. He will be long remembered for his ability on the golf course having won the Club Championship on no less than 6 occasions. He was also in the winning pair of the Club Championships in Foursomes 7 times and the Club Mixed Foursomes Championships 9 times. A combination of successes not achieved either before or since his time. His great friend Ray Clayton provided a tableau of remembrance last weekend. Characters such as Peter Douglas are the stitches from which the fabric of our great club is built. He will be remembered.

Course Update
- Players will have noticed a significant number of areas of the course which are currently identified as GUR. The areas which have been indicated as compulsory are the repairs to the rear of the 1st green, the repairs beside the 3rd green, the new fairway on the 4th hole and the area to the left of the 8th green. Other areas shown as GUR are not compulsory. See your score card for more detail.
- The Paths Project commences next Monday morning (weather permitting). The paths impacted by this first stage are the 6th tee to 7th tee, the 10th tee to the 10th fairway, the 10th green to the 11th tee and the path beside the 12th tee. The 6th hole will be closed for the day and the tees on the other affected holes will be positioned well forward to avoid any danger.
- The full length of the 4th hole will return for play from the 4th July.

Coming Events
- Next Saturday, 4th July, is the next Monthly medal day.
- Commencing Monday 6th July, the 'Monday Madness' competition will become a 9-hole event, played on the Yellow course. Competition fees and prizes are as per the 'Nugget' competition. Note: the 6th hole will be closed on the 6th July due to the path construction work, so the 11th will be used instead. Scores on this day will not be processed for handicaps.
- Saturday 18th July is the Captains Trophy event, 18 hole stroke.
- Saturday 25th July is the President V Captain event for the Boxmor Trophy. The event will be a 4BBB normal daily competition, however pairs will have the opportunity to sign up to either the President's or Captain's team (sign-up sheet is available in the pro shop and on the main noticeboard). Pairs will then be drawn at random to create matches. The results for each match will be taken from the better-ball results returned by each pair on the day. Each match will provide 1 point towards the Boxmore Trophy result. The sign-up sheet will close after play is completed on the Wednesday prior to the 25th.
