Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 3.3.21
Finally, after 6 weeks of lockdown, Bonalba Golf opened its gates again yesterday and CBGS was back in business. We were very happy to be able to get back into our swing and hit some good balls, thinking of our friends in the UK who are still waiting for the golf courses to open. We had a good turn-out of 26 players and the format was Individual Stableford.
Considering we had quite a break in golf and also, due to hollow tining, the greens were very difficult to putt on, the scores were extremely good. Summary of the results are below.
This was the first competition where we have used the new system of prize awards. Everyone should have had an email at the end of January about the postponed AGM and details of the new reward system. A copy is also published on our website.
Whilst the course is open, the club restaurant is staying shut for the moment, so the plan of our Captain for 2020, Graham, to finally present the Yearly Prizes today on the club terrace, did not materialize. To avoid further delays, he decided to give out the prizes as players were coming off the course and he did so in his usual cheerful manner. Let’s hope that Brian, our Captain for 2021, will be able to carry out his Yearly Prize Presentation under more normal circumstances again.
A full list of the Yearly Prizes 2020 is published separately.
