BRIGHT COUNTRY GOLF CLUB

As someone once said, “In golf as in life, it’s the journey that matters,” - this quote emphasises the value of enjoying the process of striving towards goals, rather than solely focusing on the outcome. All this reflection can only mean one thing, let’s look at how the Bright golfers wandered around the Bright course last week battling a variety of conditions.

Monday, 28 July was a very wet and unpleasant day to play golf - due to the course conditions, there were no golf cats, and only four intrepid players played.

Winner: John ‘Reddog’ Rudduck 31 pts. Ball winners: Colin Richardson 29, Ray Borschmann 28.

NTPs - 6th: John Rudduck, 11th: The Borsch, 16th: Reddog.

On Friday, 1 August, the ladies played a nine-hole par competition.

The Bright Golf Guru question of the week: where did the hundreds of large goldfish come from, that are now happily swimming in the fourth water hole at Bright?
