BRIGHT COUNTRY GOLF CLUB

“As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round,” – Anonymous.

This quote encourages appreciating the present moment and finding joy in everyday experiences.

With those interesting thoughts still reverberating around your brain, it’s time to look back at last week’s results from the Bright Country Golf Club.

Saturday 26th of July was a complete and total washout. With the only good thing about Saturday was, if you weren’t golfing, there was always a trip to the snow.

The Bright Golf Guru thought of the week, ‘playing golf the way we do, is to experience the good, the bad and sometimes ugly aspects of doing something that we love.’
