2025: Finnish Day (10.12.)

 

Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa, 10.12.25

 

Today was our “Finnish Day”, sponsored by Heidi and Tony Dewavrin.  We honoured our sponsors by wearing “blue and white”, the colours of the Finnish flag.

The format was Individual Stableford.  

 

Congratulations to all the winners, who were presented with some carefully selected prizes, all with a Finnish scheme and beautifully wrapped, bearing a very stylish Finnish CBGS logo, specially designed by one of Heidi’s relatives.  

There was also a big raffle, so, in fact in the end, everyone came away with a prize.

 

On behalf of all the members of the Society, our Captain gave a big heartfelt thank you to Heidi and Tony for their generous sponsorship and all the hard work and effort that went into making this a very special day.

 

The summary of today’s competition was as follows:
