BRIGHT COUNTRY GOLF CLUB

As the famous Texan professional golfer, Lee Trevino, was once quoted as saying, “If I wasn’t playing golf professionally, I would be back in Texas, picking cotton.”

These words can evoke that age old question, what sport would you be playing if you realised you had no natural ability in golf? Cricket, lawn bowls, darts or even table tennis could be an option.

It’s lucky we get to play golf at Bright.
