Mission Statement - To promote and administer the game of golf by providing good quality leadership and direction to member clubs and association's members and to act as the representative for all its members.
Almost 70 players faced the starter at Rockley to compete in the annual BGA New Year Hamper on Saturday January 14, 2010 and fancied their chances of winning the biggest hamper.
The Management there was exceptionally kind to us and held back the rain long enough to get the last four-ball in at minutes to six. The conditions and the course were great and no excuses under the scorching mid-day sun could be found not to have your best round to start the year right.
Denny Foster & Richie Alleyne showed their true skills and determination when they walked off with the top prize at the 2011 President’s Putter held at Royal Westmoreland during December. The two-ball, better ball team shot Net 63 between them to ensure the victory over 18 holes. Both veterans of the game came up against stiff competition from current National players and reminded them that they too were National players in their day.
The President announced that he was very pleased with the number of players who supported the event in the shotgun format, since it helps to bring golfers back together at the end to share a light moment over a beer or two and to defend either good or not so good scores. The weather was great, near perfect and 20 teams teed off, with a wide range of handicaps, some there for the fun and others who came to win.
This year’s tournament attracted key National players in the likes of James Johnson & Marcus Clarke, Ricky Skeete & Robert Piggott, Orville Alleyne & Dawn Bispham and Judd Cozier & Thomas Harris who turned in very competitive scores on the day. The results are as follows:
1st Richie Alleyne & Denny Foster Net 63
2nd James Johnson & Marcus Clarke Net 64
3rd Robert Piggott & Ricky Skeete Net 65 on a count back from Orville Alleyne & Dawn Bispham
