BRIGHT COUNTRY GOLF CLUB

During the Industrial Revolution of the Victorian era, changes were rapid in society.

The birth of the railways allowed the general population to explore outside their towns, and therefore golf clubs began to appear all over the countryside.

Mass production methods were adopted to manufacture the clubs and balls, making the game more affordable to the average person.

The game’s popularity exploded, not only in England, but all over the world.

Let’s see how the golfers went last week at Bright.

Monday 27 July, Veteran’s Stableford competition, and all players off the red tees.

Winners: Ray Borschmann with a fine return to form 17 H/C 35 pts C/B, Andrew Robertson 8 H/C 35 pts.

The Bright Golf Guru quote of the week, “All golfers are created equal, but some are more equal than others” - this does sound like something that was learnt a long time ago and attributed to Alexander Solzernitisen. Happy golfing.
