Saturday was the second round of the BWR Summer Comp for 2025 and again our sincere thanks go out to BWR Accountants and Advisers for their continued great support of the club.
This week it was a Stroke event and we had 69 participants.
It was a very blustery start to the day with only the very early golfers escaping with a few holes of stillness.
The wind gusted to 45km for the whole day with very few golfers able to keep control of the little white ball.

One of those with command of his game was Lindsay Elliott who shot a 71 net to clinch the prize for the day.
Playing off his 15 handicap Lindsay went out in a scrapy 46 but then sizzled home with a 40 to clinch the prize from one of his regular playing compatriots in Ken Keith.
Ken shot a 72 but was very evenly balanced with a 45/44 split to claim the runner-up on a countback from Tony Hendry who went out well with a 42 but faded on the run home, although he threw in a birdie in his 47.
Luke Clarke, who was the best performed golfer on the course with his 39/39 split and a birdie on each of the last holes on both 9’s also returned a 72.
Luke is gearing up for the Pennant season and is looking good on the course.
