RESULTS
Chateau Laffitte Golf Club – Sunday 11th October – Stableford
What a picture it was at Chateau Laffitte this past Sunday. Glorious views, a course in tip-top condition, and weather that simply begged you to be out on the fairways. The stage was set, and the field duly delivered some thoroughly enjoyable golf.
In Division A, congratulations go to Shaly Dai, who took top spot with a fine round when it mattered. Stuart Nunn claimed second with a steady showing, while Pierre Penicaud followed closely in third. Rob Derrett rounded out the honours in fourth with a solid effort of his own.
Division B belonged to Malcolm Harrison, who led the way with assured play throughout the day. Michael Kenny came home in second, Ping Chow took third, and Theodore Liebreich claimed fourth with another dependable performance. Low Gross honours went to our guest Ryan Hoo, whose crisp ball-striking was a pleasure to watch across this demanding layout.
A superb day all round — wonderful scenery, excellent conditions, and plenty of smiles in the clubhouse afterwards.
Next up: ORIENT TIANXING!
Sunday 18th October – 2-Golfer Better Ball
Grab a partner and have fun together!
Don’t miss out — always one of our most popular formats. Come and join us for what promises to be another splendid day’s golf at the excellent Orient Tianxing Golf Club.
HANDICAP GROUPS
A reminder that this season we have three groups who play off different tees – all Ladies play from Red tees, Men with handicaps of 18.1 and above play from White tees, and Men with handicaps of 18.0 and below play from Blue tees – if you’re unsure which group you’re in then just check with Rainbow before you tee-off.
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 March 2027.. 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.
