Welcome to Our New Greenkeeper!!

We would like to extend a massive BofA Golf Club welcome to our new Greenkeeper – Callum Gordon.

Callum is a Greenkeeper who has more than 28 years of experience under his belt and we are sure he will be a massive asset to our Club. He is a keen golfer who takes pride in his work and knows that the members are at the heart of the club.

If you see Callum around on the course – please feel free to say “Hi” and introduce yourself as he is keen to get to know some of you.

The course has been gradually improving thanks to the hard work of volunteers over the last few weeks and we hope that Callum’s appointment will allow us to continue that upward trajectory.

President vs Captain Event

The traditional opening event of the gents season is the President vs Captain event. This will take place on Saturday 1st April and will be a shotgun start in two waves, one at 8am and the other at 1pm.

Anyone who wants to play should add their name to a tee time in BRS – these times are available for booking now. Please note, the tee times are not the actual tee times to be used as everyone will tee off together from different holes at either 8am or 1pm depending on whether you want to play in the morning or afternoon.

The individual competition will be an 18 hole stableford competition and will cost £5 to enter. Players in each group will also be assigned to either the Captain’s team or the President’s team and will compete against others in their group to try and win a point for their team.

Helene will be putting on a buffet after each wave finishes so please head into the clubhouse after the round to get some food.
