Course Update
  • Thank you to all the players for doing a better job of repairing the divots across the course. A definite improvement noted. Please keep up the effort and help create the best possible surface for play. 
  • The 4th fairway extension is looking better every week. See the photos for an update. We will shortly move from the temporary tee to the Red course tee box, so the hole will start to play a little more like the index. Stay tuned.
  • Thanks To our 'Painter', John McGuire, for continuing his course coverage by painting the wall on the dam at the 2nd. I hope everyone is enjoying the fantastic colour display across the course with this beautiful Autumn weather. Thankfully, due to the watering efforts of our staff and volunteers over the intense drought, we lost very few of our specimen trees and can now enjoy the true ambiance of our course. 
  • In Breaking News, the following email has just been received from Golf NSW.
​Dear Member Clubs and Districts,

Golf NSW can advise that the NSW Office of Sport and NSW State Government are continuing efforts to finalise guidelines for recreation, exercise, and sport.  Many sports will be included in these guidelines and will recommence in the near future.
 
These guidelines will also form the basis for amendments to the current NSW Public Health Order in relation to COVID-19.
 
Whilst confirmation of the guidelines is not expected until Wednesday, May 13, golf Clubs should anticipate the playing of golf in groups of four from Friday, May 15, with outdoor gathering numbers not exceeding 10 persons.
 
Clubs should also maintain all current practices and measures in regard to social distancing and good hygiene.

Yours sincerely,
Stuart Fraser
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

​As a result we are pleased to advise that, commencing Saturday May 16th, play will revert to our usual 3 person slots. This will permit a maximum of 3 groups to be in the vicinity of the 1st tee at any one time and still retain the requirements of the maximum of 10 persons in one vicinity. Social Distancing requirements remain in place.  The booking sheets will be available to book in 3's from this evening (Monday).

Wednesday 6th May, a mild Autumn day saw 84 players in the field to contest a two person Ambrose event played on the Red course. This was the first event for the men which has been played on this course, and there were some very low scores. The father and son pairing of John and Sam Mulholland (4 3/4) showed the field a clean pair of cleats by scoring a scratch 60 to net a score of 55 1/4. In second was the pairing of our club professional Kevin Kenny and his playing partner George Buschman (11) with a net 58. Balls were won down to a score of 65 1/4 on count back.

Friday 8th May, The "Nugget". Another good field in this popular event with 48 players in the contest (18 ladies, 30 men). Robert Eriksson (24) with 24 points won on a count back from David Simmers (24). Balls were won down to 18 points on count back.

Saturday 9th May, Another excellent field on a very changeable day. The late afternoon players getting a little damp when the storm arrived. However the rainbow show was quite spectacular!! With his score of 42 points, David Burgess (14) outclassed the field of 99 players to claim the major prize. The runner's up prizes in each grade went to 'A' grade, John Mellen (13) 39, 'B' grade John Ferguson (16) 40 and 'C' grade Nik Potter (24) with 40 points on a count back. Balls were won down to 34 points on count back.

Sunday 10th May, A very cold and windy day held off the some of the regular players, but the field of 15 (12 men, 3 ladies) showed some some real fortitude to brave the wintery conditions. Lachlan Malcolm (27) posted a fine 39 points to win from Brian Hanrahan (15) with 33. Balls were won down to 35 points. Lachlan is one of our up and coming junior players and at the age of 15 is showing he will be a player to watch going forward. His brother Angus was also in the field and scored 35 points. We have a growing number in the junior category, and hopefully will be able to resurrect the Bradford Trophy later in the year. It was last played for in 2005!!

​Monday 11th May, "Monday Madness" on the White course. 11 Players enjoyed a beautiful Autumn Monday competition with Ash Southon (15) finishing with 42 points to win the day from Robert Bearup (17) with 37 points. Balls were won down to 34 points on count back. This competition is currently available for Mondays in May only, however this will be re-assessed shortly to see if we will continue the competition into June. Stay tuned.

"Who Am I ?" Competition
Our mystery member is still unidentified after 2 weeks now. Perhaps the clue this week will provide enough information for you to make a guess.

"Whilst I've never been on the BGC club's board, I'm on several BGC club boards, who am I?"
