Introduction
I would like to thank the BGC members for placing their faith in me as the incoming Captain. It is an honour to be Captain of the Bowral Golf Club and I look forward to building on the foundations laid by former Captains, Boards and Management.
Firstly, I would like to thank Dick Hiser for his great captaincy over the last two years. His energy and attention to detail both in the course development and golf programming will be a hard act to follow. In addition, this was achieved with the COVID challenge of the last twelve months, no mean feat and allowed all of us to continue enjoying the game of golf; thank you Dick.
I intend to continue with the weekly blog as this is one of the key platforms of communication to members ensuring the activities on the course and the clubhouse. I’m sure it will take me a while to understand how to “drive” the software, so there might be some interesting outcomes.
I will restart the Rules Quiz in a couple of weeks time.
Thankyou.
Last Thursday evening was the club’s 78th AGM where reporting and review on the past twelve months and auditors was presented to members as well as the election of the board members for 2021, please see the photo below to put a face to a name…
