MEMBERSHIP TARGETS

The 2006 recruitment campaign has been a success. Although we didn’t quite achieve the target of 530 Ordinary members (got to 527), the Management Committee decided NOT to apply the £26 supplement to the £399 subscription as agreed at the 2005 AGM.

Talk to your friends and neighbours - persuade them to join BGHC

Take advantage of the special deal – join now for £199 and play for the rest of the year.

You know how good a club it is
– let others in on the secret!

CLUBMASTER

Sean MacNair joins us on 24th July. He and his family will move into the flat. The Manager will be Sean’s line manager, and Henry Haldane, House Convenor, remains responsible for all Clubhouse policy and implementation.

Sean has valuable expertise and experience in hospitality services and we wish him a happy and profitable tenure at BGHC.

The Mitchell Trophy

The 50th Mitchell was a great success – thanks and well done to the Mitchell committee: John Mitchell; Willie Adamson; David Adamson; Gordon Bathgate; Mary Wardrop

The Junior ‘A’ team, captained by Ross Gibson, won the Mitchell Trophy, and very well done to you all.
Runners-up were the Meadowfield Maestros, 3rd - Mitchell’s Marauders, and 4th the Ladies ‘A’ team.

CHEFS

Michael Smith and David Jackson are enjoying job-sharing the food service operation; these arrangements will continue until an end-of-season review.

A special shotgun 2-ball strokeplay on the final Sunday for all the week’s losing teams was a real winner with everyone, but especially for the Junior ‘B’ team, who waltzed clear of everyone else with a combined nett score of 128!

The Mitchell is unique – BGHC’s team competition for men, women and youngsters. If you’ve never played in it, you’ll love it. If you have played, see you again next year!

PRIZE DRAW SPENDING

A plantation cutter has been bought from the proceeds of the Christmas prize draw. We’ve all noticed how much neater the course looks (and how much easier it is to find a ball) with the plantation grass cut to normal “rough” length, but it is a really time-consuming job of work keeping it that way. The special cutter makes the task much easier.

Lady Champion of Champions

A great response from Fife’s clubs to the idea of this competition means that it will definitely go ahead on.

Sunday 1st October, starting 11am.

We hope to attract a big entry of excellent Lady golfers and spectators will be most welcome!
