RESULTS
Huatang Golf Club – Sunday 19th October – Club Championship
Glorious autumn sunshine bathed Huatang Golf Club this past Sunday, providing a stunning—if demanding—stage for our annual Club Championship. The course was in a tough but magnificent condition, testing every club in the bag, but the beautiful weather ensured a fantastic day was had by all.
A truly monumental congratulations is in order for our 2025 Club Champion, Dale Sun, who has successfully defended his title! In a display of sheer consistency and skill, Dale has done it again, proving his reign at the top is no fluke. He’s made the trophy his own once more—a phenomenal achievement!
In the hotly contested Net competition, the scoring was equally impressive. Eric Leng soared to the top to claim first place with a brilliant round. He was pushed all the way by Shaly Dai, who secured a fantastic second place, while the in-form Natasha Patton rounded out the top three with another solid performance.
The event was a tremendous success, filled with superb golf and wonderful camaraderie. A sincere thank you to all our sponsors; your generous support is what makes these flagship events so special for the entire BGC community.
Next Up: A Change of Format!

MATCHPLAY 2025
Congratulations to Marco Kiefer, the triumphant winner of the final match play – winning a Year’s Membership at Jinghua Golf Club! You can find the full draw, latest results and all the matchplay details here.
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.
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 June 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.
