It was an eggciting Easter weekend as Saturday golf returned to BGC and everyone tested themselves on a couple of the lesser-played Farmers nines.
Shot of the season so far was plaid by Natasha Patton, who was eggstatic as she Aced the second hole of the day to deliver BGC’s first Hole-in-One for a few years, so hearty congratulations on achieving every golfer’s dream!
It was also an eggstra special day for Manuel Maucha and Martin Magnusson, who beat their handicaps to hunt down the Divisional Winner honours, with Martin also putting in an eggspert display to take the Low Gross prize.
Our next tournament will be the APRIL MONTHLY MEDAL on Sunday 27th April, at Orient Tianxing, with a 12noon tee-off.

PLEASE REGISTER YOUR INTEREST ASAP
TO ALL BGC FRIENDS AND FAMILIES – another BGC weekend away at HuiHuang is on the schedule for the weekend of 17/18 May with fun for all the family and golf rounds planned on both Saturday and Sunday.
This weekend is always one of the highlights of the BGC year as we head up into the mountains, in the shadow of the Great Wall about a 90-minute drive north of the city. We’ll have a fun Team Scramble tournament on the Saturday afternoon, followed by an all-welcome dinner & drinks and a BGC tournament on Sunday morning. The ClubMed resort is perfect for families as a range of fun activities are on offer for non-golfers and kids, as well as a huge swimming pool and trained staff to help keep everyone entertained.
We need to reserve the rooms so if you’re interested then please send a message to Rainbow ASAP to secure your place – please also let us know if you’ll be bringing non-golfing partners and kids, as of course everyone is very welcome to enjoy the amazing Club Med facilities – if we have enough interest then we will look to arrange transport for everyone to and from HuiHuang, thanks!
For those who may prefer, there is a Japanese Hot Springs hotel beside the course that will be an option for accommodation, if you would like this option then please tell Rainbow when you register.
Sign-up now and tell your friends!
This year the BGC will offer Saturday Only memberships for only RMB600 – Saturday-only members will still be welcome to play on Sundays with the usual 200 guest fee, or they can upgrade to a full BGC membership during the season if they prefer.
A reminder that the BGC membership runs on a rolling 12-months basis – i.e. if you bring along a friend and they join the club now then their membership will run until April 2026.. Also once the season starts there’s no guest fee for those experiencing a BGC Sunday for the first time, so please bring your friends along!
FINALLY PLEASE NOTE THE REMINDER OF SOME LOCAL BGC RULES BELOW – little things like ready golf, no “gimmies”, lining up your own ball on the green and preferred lies only on the fairway are important for pace of play and keeping it a level playing field for everyone! Any questions then just ask Rainbow.
Thanks and hopefully see you on Sunday!
LOCAL RULES
It’s been great to see so many new faces at BGC this year, so below is a summary reminder of the BGC “local rules” – if you’re playing with someone who’s new to BGC then please take the time to help them learn, everyone will benefit! For the full list click here BGC RULES
- BGC Handicap Divisions – this season A division is for handicaps up to 18.0, B division is 18.1-36.0
- BGC Tees – A division play from blue tees and B & C division play from white tees – all Ladies play from red tees
- OB and Lost Balls – as well as hitting a provisional, at BGC for a 2 SHOT PENALTY you have an extra option to drop a ball in the fairway at the point of entry of OB, or the approximate position of the lost ball
- Preferred lies – BGC always play preferred lies on the FAIRWAY ONLY – you can place the ball in a better lie within one scorecard length of where the ball originally lay
- Max score – in stableford events once you have played too many shots to score a point on a hole then you should pick up your ball and mark an “X” on the card
- Marking balls on the green – caddies can mark your ball on the green, however they cannot line up your ball for you! If they do this then simply re-mark and replace your ball on the green
- Gimmies – there are no “gimmies” in BGC weekly events, every putt must be holed (matchplay events are the exception). If the putt is “unmissable” then just knock it in!
- Ready golf – at BGC you don’t have to play “in order” – even if it’s not your turn (or your “honour”) but it’s safe to play your shot, then go ahead!
- Help your partners learn – there are lots of new and inexperienced golfers who play BGC every week – if you see someone accidentally breaking the rules then please let them know – if they’ve already played then then give them an opportunity to re-hit the shot under the correct rule
Hopefully the above makes sense, more detail can be found on the Rules page – if you have any questions of concerns about any of the above then just ask Rainbow or any member of the committee.
